Lookup in the ATU can be performed starting from a given MAC
address. This is faster than starting with the first possible MAC
address and iterating all entries.

Entries are returned in numeric order. So if the MAC address returned
is bigger than what we are searching for, we know it is not in the
ATU.

Using the benchmark provided by Volodymyr Bendiuga
<volodymyr.bendiuga@gmail.com>,

https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg411550.html

on an Marvell Armada 370 RD, the test to add a number of static fdb
entries went from 1.616531 seconds to 0.312052 seconds.

I think these two routines behave differently on big vs little
endian.  And I doubt this was your intention.

I don't have a big endian system to test on.

I tried to avoid the usual pitfalls. I don't cast a collection of
bytes to a u64, which i know has no chance of working. Accessing a MAC
address as a byte array should be endian safe. The shift operation
should also be endian safe.

What exactly do you think will behave differently?

You could build the driver for e.g: a MIPS Malta board and use the
qemu-system-mips to validate this, there could be a way to do that on
ARM too although it's a different kind of BE (BE8 vs. BE32) AFAIR.

Maybe I over-reacted.

I just ran some test programs in userspace on both little and big
endian and they checked out.

Sorry for the false alarm.

I'll apply this, thanks.

I'm happy somebody other than me is thinking about this.

Great, thanks for testing.
