Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux
![]() The number of eRPs that can be used by a single A-TCAM region is limited to 16. When more eRPs are needed, an ordinary circuit TCAM (C-TCAM) can be used to hold the extra eRPs. Unlike the A-TCAM, only a single (last) lookup is performed in the C-TCAM and not a lookup per-eRP. However, modeling the C-TCAM as extra eRPs will allow us to easily introduce support for pruning in a follow-up patch set and is also logically correct. The following diagram depicts the relation between both TCAMs: C-TCAM +-------------------+ +--------------------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | | eRP #1 (A-TCAM) +----> ... +----+ eRP #16 (A-TCAM) +----+ eRP #17 | | | | | | ... | +-------------------+ +--------------------+ | eRP #N | | | +-----------+ Lookup order is from left to right. Extend the eRP core APIs with a C-TCAM parameter which indicates whether the requested eRP is to be used with the C-TCAM or not. Since the C-TCAM is only meant to absorb rules that can't fit in the A-TCAM due to exceeded number of eRPs or key collision, an error is returned when a C-TCAM eRP needs to be created when the eRP state machine is in its initial state (i.e., 'no masks'). This should only happen in the face of very unlikely errors when trying to push rules into the A-TCAM. In order not to perform unnecessary lookups, the eRP core will only enable a C-TCAM lookup for a given region if it knows there are C-TCAM eRPs present.

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.
