For 12 key blocks in the A-TCAM, rules are split into two records, which constitute two lookups. The two records are linked using a "large entry key ID". Due to a Spectrum-4 hardware issue, KVD entries that correspond to key blocks 0 to 5 of 12 key blocks A-TCAM entries will be placed in the same KVD pipe if they only differ in their "large entry key ID", as it is ignored. This results in a reduced scale. To reduce the probability of this issue, we can place key blocks with high entropy in blocks 0 to 5. The idea is to place blocks that are changed often in blocks 0 to 5, for example, key blocks that match on IPv4 addresses or the LSBs of IPv6 addresses. Such placement will reduce the probability of these blocks to be same. Mark several blocks with 'high_entropy' flag, so later we will take into account this flag and place them in blocks 0 to 5.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
