FDB entries are currently stored in a hash table with a fixed number of buckets (256), resulting in performance degradation as the number of entries grows. Solve this by converting the driver to use rhashtable which maintains more or less constant performance regardless of the number of entries. Measured transmitted packets per second using a single pktgen thread with varying number of entries when the transmitted packet always hits the default entry (worst case): Number of entries | Improvement ------------------|------------ 1k | +1.12% 4k | +9.22% 16k | +55% 64k | +585% 256k | +2460% In addition, the change reduces the size of the VXLAN device structure from 2584 bytes to 672 bytes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
