[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/4] net/tap: support flow API

[Pascal Mazon]

This series add support for the flow API in tap PMD.

It enables filtering specific packets incoming on the tap netdevice, to
process only desired ones. Under the hood, it uses kernel TC (traffic
control), which takes place very early in the stack, and supports most
common pattern items and actions defined in the flow API.

This series applies on top of:
