When adding a flow table entry (fte) to a flow table (ft), we first need to find its flow group (fg). Currently, this is done by traversing a linear list of all flow groups in the flow table. Furthermore, since multiple flow groups which correspond to the same fte mask may exist in the same ft, we can't just stop at the first match. Converting the linear list to rhltable in order to speed things up. The last four patches increases the steering rules update rate by a factor of more than 7 (for insertion of 50K steering rules).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
