Number of flow tables is limited by the memory resource, and the index could be
to as large as 2^^32 - 1. In the past, the flow tables are organized by arrays,
and this organization has some advantages and disadvantages. The lookup for the
table resource from a linear array is quite fast, the ID could be used as the
index in the array. But it will cost some extra memory resource after system
bring up and if only a small number of tables are created. In the meanwhile,
since we could not create the array with a huge number, so the maximal index of
the table is limited and it is  unreasonable.
If we change the array into some other tables, like some open addressing hash
table, the static memory cost is still to huge. But the index of the table
limitation could be get rid of. But in the meanwhile, it will introduce some
new issue that two tables with different ID may generate the same address index
in the table. Then it will degrade the performance of the lookup, creating and
deleting. Moreover, sometimes it will cause a failure if the collisions rate
are too heavy.
Then the simple hash list is used as the first step to get rid of this
limitations. The only static memory over head is array of the LIST HEADs. In
the next step, we could use some extendable hash tables for this. This will of
course introduce some performance degradation when lookup, creating and
removing tables in the lists if there are a lot of tables created in the
system. We need to trade off among the functionality, memory and performance.
Some other resources are associated with each flow tables and not global, like
flow matchers and jump table object used by driver. They could also be
reorganized and put into the flow table resources structure. Then the lookup
process of these resources will be speeded up significantly.

In the current flow tables organization, arrays are used. This is
fast for searching, creating related object that will be used in
flow creation. But it introduces some limitation to the table index.
Then we can reorganize the flow tables information with hash list.
When using hash list, there is no need to maintain three arrays for
NIC TX, RX and FDB tables object information.
This attribute could be used together with the table ID to generate
a 64-bits key that is unique for the hash list insertion, lookup and
deletion.

Jump object is associated with table object, so there is no need to
use a single linked list to store it. All the jump objects could be
put together with related flow tables.

Matchers are created on the specific table. If a single linked list
is used to store these, then the finding process might be the
bottleneck when there are a lot of different flow matchers on a
huge amount of tables. The matchers could be move into the table
data resource structure in order to reduce the comparasion times
when finding.

Number of flow tables is limited by the memory resource, and the index could be
to as large as 2^^32 - 1. In the past, the flow tables are organized by arrays,
and this organization has some advantages and disadvantages. The lookup for the
table resource from a linear array is quite fast, the ID could be used as the
index in the array. But it will cost some extra memory resource after system
bring up and if only a small number of tables are created. In the meanwhile,
since we could not create the array with a huge number, so the maximal index of
the table is limited and it is  unreasonable.
If we change the array into some other tables, like some open addressing hash
table, the static memory cost is still to huge. But the index of the table
limitation could be get rid of. But in the meanwhile, it will introduce some
new issue that two tables with different ID may generate the same address index
in the table. Then it will degrade the performance of the lookup, creating and
deleting. Moreover, sometimes it will cause a failure if the collisions rate
are too heavy.
Then the simple hash list is used as the first step to get rid of this
limitations. The only static memory over head is array of the LIST HEADs. In
the next step, we could use some extendable hash tables for this. This will of
course introduce some performance degradation when lookup, creating and
removing tables in the lists if there are a lot of tables created in the
system. We need to trade off among the functionality, memory and performance.
Some other resources are associated with each flow tables and not global, like
flow matchers and jump table object used by driver. They could also be
reorganized and put into the flow table resources structure. Then the lookup
process of these resources will be speeded up significantly.

In the current flow tables organization, arrays are used. This is
fast for searching, creating related object that will be used in
flow creation. But it introduces some limitation to the table index.
Then we can reorganize the flow tables information with hash list.
When using hash list, there is no need to maintain three arrays for
NIC TX, RX and FDB tables object information.
This attribute could be used together with the table ID to generate
a 64-bits key that is unique for the hash list insertion, lookup and
deletion.

Jump object is associated with table object, so there is no need to
use a single linked list to store it. All the jump objects could be
put together with related flow tables.

From: Bing Zhao <bingz@mellanox.com>

Matchers are created on the specific table. If a single linked list
is used to store these, then the finding process might be the
bottleneck when there are a lot of different flow matchers on a
huge amount of tables. The matchers could be move into the table
data resource structure in order to reduce the comparasion times
when finding.

Added missing:
Acked-by: Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@mellanox.com>
Removed wrong Signed-of-by signature.

Series applied to next-net-mlx,
