The "lookups match" counter variable name is a bit misleading, but I'd change it in this patchset as its orthogonal to the DPCLS function pointer concept. The counter counts "number of subtables searched per hit packet", so to speak. See Ilya's input and my response here: https://www.mail-archive.com/ovs-dev@openvswitch.org/msg31442.html This is a pseudo code of expected behavior: 1st subtable packet hits are += 1, 2nd subtable packet hits are += 2, 3rd subtable packet hits are += 3 etc. At the end of a burst, we have a bitmask of packets hit, and a counter for "subtable effort per packet matched". Given two experienced OVS folks asked ~ the same question, hints that its time for a cleanup & refactor, perhaps even a /* descriptive comment */ :) <snip> Thanks for review / comments! -Harry _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
