The VXLAN database is accessed in the data path for each VXLAN TX skb in
order to check whether the UDP port is being offloaded or not.
The number of elements in the database is relatively small, we can
simplify the radix-tree to a hash table and speedup the lookup process.
Measuring mlx5e_vxlan_lookup_port execution time:
Radix Tree Hash Table
--------------- ------------ ------------
Single Stream 161 ns 79 ns (51% improvement)
Multi Stream 259 ns 136 ns (47% improvement)
Measuring UDP stream packet rate, single fully utilized TX core:
Radix Tree: 498,300 PPS
Hash Table: 555,468 PPS (11% improvement)

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
