David S. Miller 08c25fe83a Merge branch 'mlxsw-spectrum_acl-Include-delta-bits-into-hashtable-key' 
Ido Schimmel says:

====================
mlxsw: spectrum_acl: Include delta bits into hashtable key

The Spectrum-2 ASIC allows multiple rules to use the same mask provided
that the difference between their masks is small enough (up to 8
consecutive delta bits). A more detailed explanation is provided in
merge commit 756cd36626 ("Merge branch
'mlxsw-Introduce-algorithmic-TCAM-support'").

These delta bits are part of the rule's key and therefore rules that
only differ in their delta bits can be inserted with the same A-TCAM
mask. In case two rules share the same key and only differ in their
priority, then the second will spill to the C-TCAM.

Current code does not take the delta bits into account when checking for
duplicate rules, which leads to unnecessary spillage to the C-TCAM.
This may result in reduced scale and performance.

Patch #1 includes the delta bits in the rule's key to avoid the above
mentioned problem.

Patch #2 adds a tracepoint when a rule is inserted into the C-TCAM.

Patches #3-#5 add test cases to make sure unnecessary spillage into the
C-TCAM does not occur.

README 

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.
