If the hints are returned, the migration should be started. For that to happen, there is a need to create a second physical region in TCAM with new ERP set by passing the hints and then move chunk by chunk, entry by entry. During the transition, two lookups will occur. One in old region and another in new region. The highest priority rule will be chosen. In an unlikely case that the migration will fail and also rollback to original region will fail the vregion will become in bad state. Everything will work, only no future rehash will be possible. In a follow-up work, this can be resolved by trying to resume the rollback in delayed work and repair the vregion.

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.
