The VCAP IS2 TCAM is looked up twice per packet, and each filter can be configured to only match during the first, second lookup, or both, or none. The blamed commit wrote the code for making VCAP IS2 filters match only on the given lookup. But right below that code, there was another line that explicitly made the lookup a "don't care", and this is overwriting the lookup we've selected. So the code had no effect. Some of the more noticeable effects of having filters match on both lookups: - in "tc -s filter show dev swp0 ingress", we see each packet matching a VCAP IS2 filter counted twice. This throws off scripts such as tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/tc_actions.sh and makes them fail. - a "tc-drop" action offloaded to VCAP IS2 needs a policer as well, because once the CPU port becomes a member of the destination port mask of a packet, nothing removes it, not even a PERMIT/DENY mask mode with a port mask of 0. But VCAP IS2 rules with the POLICE_ENA bit in the action vector can only appear in the first lookup. What happens when a filter matches both lookups is that the action vector is combined, and this makes the POLICE_ENA bit ineffective, since the last lookup in which it has appeared is the second one. In other words, "tc-drop" actions do not drop packets for the CPU port, dropped packets are still seen by software unless there was an FDB entry that directed those packets to some other place different from the CPU. The last bit used to work, because in the initial commit |

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.
