/* EMC cache and SMC cache compose the datapath flow cache (DFC)
 *
 * Exact match cache for frequently used flows
 *
 * The cache uses a 32-bit hash of the packet (which can be the RSS hash) to
 * search its entries for a miniflow that matches exactly the miniflow of the
 * packet. It stores the 'dpcls_rule' (rule) that matches the miniflow.
 *
 * A cache entry holds a reference to its 'dp_netdev_flow'.
 *
 * A miniflow with a given hash can be in one of EM_FLOW_HASH_SEGS different
 * entries. The 32-bit hash is split into EM_FLOW_HASH_SEGS values (each of
 * them is EM_FLOW_HASH_SHIFT bits wide and the remainder is thrown away). Each
 * value is the index of a cache entry where the miniflow could be.
 *
 *
 * Signature match cache (SMC)
 *
 * This cache stores a 16-bit signature for each flow without storing keys, and
 * stores the corresponding 16-bit flow_table index to the 'dp_netdev_flow'.
 * Each flow thus occupies 32bit which is much more memory efficient than EMC.
 * SMC uses a set-associative design that each bucket contains
 * SMC_ENTRY_PER_BUCKET number of entries.
 * Since 16-bit flow_table index is used, if there are more than 2^16
 * dp_netdev_flow, SMC will miss them that cannot be indexed by a 16-bit value.
 *
 *
 * Thread-safety
 * =============
 *
 * Each pmd_thread has its own private exact match cache and signature match
 * cache.
 * If dp_netdev_input is not called from a pmd thread, a mutex is used.
