Chelsio NICs have 3 filter regions, in following order of priority:
1. High Priority (HPFILTER) region (Highest Priority).
2. HASH region.
3. Normal FILTER region (Lowest Priority).

Currently, there's a 1-to-1 mapping between the prio value passed
by TC and the filter region index. However, it's possible to have
multiple TC rules with the same prio value. In this case, if a region
is exhausted, no attempt is made to try inserting the rule in the
next available region.

So, rework and remove the 1-to-1 mapping. Instead, dynamically select
the region to insert the filter rule, as long as the new rule's prio
value doesn't conflict with existing rules across all the 3 regions.

History
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 Restructured Text 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.
