Annotated Snippet
What: /kvd/
Date: 08-Jan-2018
KernelVersion: v4.16
Contact: mlxsw@mellanox.com
Description: The main database in the Spectrum device is a centralized
KVD database used for many of the tables used to configure
the chip including L2 FDB, L3 LPM, ECMP and more. The KVD
is divided into two sections, the first is hash-based table
and the second is a linear access table. The division
between the linear and hash-based sections is static and
require reload before the changes take effect.
What: /kvd/linear
Date: 08-Jan-2018
KernelVersion: v4.16
Contact: mlxsw@mellanox.com
Description: The linear section of the KVD is managed by software as a
flat memory accessed using an index.
What: /kvd/hash_single
Date: 08-Jan-2018
KernelVersion: v4.16
Contact: mlxsw@mellanox.com
Description: The hash based section of the KVD is managed by the switch
device. Used in case the key size is smaller or equal to
64bit.
What: /kvd/hash_double
Date: 08-Jan-2018
KernelVersion: v4.16
Contact: mlxsw@mellanox.com
Description: The hash based section of the KVD is managed by the switch
device. Used in case the key is larger than 64 bit.Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
