[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] ethdev: add flow API to expand RSS flows

[Thomas Monjalon]

Adrien, would you like to review this patch please?

21/06/2018 09:25, Nelio Laranjeiro:
> Introduce an helper for PMD to expand easily flows items list with RSS
> action into multiple flow items lists with priority information.
> 
> For instance a user items list being "eth / end" with rss action types
> "ipv4-udp ipv6-udp end" needs to be expanded into three items lists:
> 
>  - eth
>  - eth / ipv4 / udp
>  - eth / ipv6 / udp
> 
> to match the user request.  Some drivers are unable to reach such
> request without this expansion, this API is there to help those.
> Only PMD should use such API for their internal cooking, the application
> will still handle a single flow.
