Subject: [PATCH net-next v22 10/14] virtio_net: Use existing classifier if possible
Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:21:07 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260816122111.2495240-11-shshitrit@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260816122111.2495240-1-shshitrit@nvidia.com>
From: Daniel Jurgens <danielj@nvidia.com>
Classifiers can be used by more than one rule. If there is an existing
classifier, use it instead of creating a new one. If duplicate
classifiers are created it would artificially limit the number of rules
to the classifier limit, which is likely less than the rules limit.
