- *
- * DISCLAIMER !
- *
- * This most likely is not the hash table you are looking for !!
- *
- * This structure targets a very specific and quite narrow set of use-cases
- * that are not covered by other hash tables.
- *
- * Read the following text carefully, or ask the author or one of VPP's
- * committers to make sure this is what you are looking for.
- *
- *
- * -- Abstract:
- * This hash table intends to provide a very fast lookup and insertion of
- * key-value pairs for flow tables (although it might be used for other
- * purposes), with additional support for lazy-timeouts.
- * In particular, it was designed to minimize blocking reads, register usage and
- * cache-lines accesses during a typical lookup.
- * This hash table therefore provides stateful packet processing
- * without performance degradation even when every single lookup has to fetch
- * memory from RAM.
- * This hash table is not thread-safe and requires executing a garbage
- * collection function to clean-up chained buckets.
- *
- * -- Overview:
- *
- * One first aspect of this hash table is that it is self-contained in a single
- * bulk of memory. Each entry contains a key, a value, and a 32 bits timeout
- * value; occupies a full and single cache line; and is identified by a unique
- * 32 bits index. The entry index zero is reserved and used when an entry
- * could not be found nor inserted. Which means it is not necessary to
- * immediately check whether an insertion or lookup was successful before
- * behaving accordingly. One can just keep doing business as usual and
- * check for the error later.
- *
- * Each entry is associated with a timeout value (which unit or clock is up to
- * the user of the hash table). An entry which timeout is strictly smaller
- * than the current time is considered empty, whereas an entry which timeout is
- * greater or equal to the current time contains a valid key-value pair.
- *
- * Hash table lookup and insertion are equivalent:
- * - An entry index is always returned (possibly index 0 if no entry could be
- * found nor created).
- * - The returned entry always has its key set to the provided key.
- * - Timeout value will be greater than the provided current time whenever a
- * valid entry was found, strictly smaller otherwise. In particular, one can
- * not differentiate between an entry which was just created, and an entry
- * which already existed in the past but got timeouted in between.
- *
- * As mentioned earlier, entry index zero is used as an invalid entry which may
- * be manipulated as a normal one. Entries which index go from 1 to
- * N (where N is a power of 2) are used as direct buckets, each containing a
- * single entry. In the absence of hash collision, a single entry which location
- * can deterministically be determined from the key-hash and the hash table
- * header is accessed (One single cache line, without indirection). This
- * allows for efficient pre-fetching of the key-value for more than 95% of
- * accesses.
- *
- * In order to handle hash collisions (i.e. when multiple keys
- * end-up in the same bucket), entries which index are greater than N are
- * grouped into M groups of 16 collision entries. Such groups are linked
- * with regular entries whenever a collision needs to be handled.
- * When looking up a key with a bucket where a collision occurred, unused bits
- * from the key hash are used to select two entries (from the collision bucket)
- * where the new entry might be inserted.
- *
- * Once an entry is inserted, it will never be moved as long as the entry
- * timeout value remains greater or equal to the provided current time value.
- * The entry index can therefore be stored in other data structure as a way
- * to bypass the hash lookup. But when doing so, one should check if the
- * present key is the actual looked-up key.
- *
- * -- Garbage Collection:
- *
- * Since there is no explicit element removal, a garbage collector mechanism
- * is required in order to remove buckets used for hash collisions. This
- * is done by calling the flowhash_gc function on a regular basis. Each call
- * to this function examines a single fixed entry. It shall therefore be called
- * as many times as there are fixed entries in the hash table in order to
- * ensure a full inspection.
- *
- * -- Time and timeout mechanism:
- *
- * The hash table makes use of a time value between in [1, 2^32 - 1].
- * The provided time value shall keep increasing, and looping is not handled.
- * When seconds are used, the system should run for 136 years without any issue.
- * If milliseconds are used, a shift should be operated on all timeout values
- * on a regular basis (more than every 49 days).
