	per-packet session key Using a separate session key has proven to be tricky for the following reasons: - it's a lot of storage to have what looks to be nearly identical to 5tuple, just maybe with some fields swapped - shuffling the fields from 5tuple adds to memory pressure - the fact that the fields do not coincide with the packet memory means for any staged processing we need to use up a lot of memory Thus, just add two entries into the bihash table pointing to the same session entry, so we could match the packets from either direction. With this we have the key layout of L3 info (which takes up the majority of space for IPv6 case) the same as in the packet, thus, opening up the possibility for other optimizations. Not having to create and store a separate session key should also give us a small performance win in itself. Also, add the routine to show the session bihash in a better way than a bunch of numbers. Alas, the memory usage in the bihash obviously doubles. Change-Id: I8fd2ed4714ad7fc447c4fa224d209bc0b736b371 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>
2018-05-22	acl-plugin: refactor to introduce multiarch dataplane functions	Andrew Yourtchenko	1	-0/+758
	This commit splits the functions from fa_node.c into the pure dataplane node functions (which are multiarch-compiled), session management node functions (which are compiled only once), and session find/add/delete functions which are split out into the inlines. As part of the refactoring: - get rid of BV() macros in the affected chunk of code, rather use the explicit bihash function names. - add the magic trailer to the new files to ensure make checkstyle watches them. - move the bihash_template.c include for 40_8 bihash into acl.c Change-Id: I4d781e9ec4307ea84e92af93c09470ea2bd0c375 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>
