mlx5 PMD supports two flow engines:
- Verbs, this is legacy one, almost no new features are being added, just bug fixes,
  provides slow rule insertion rate, etc.
- Direct Rules, the new one, all new features are being added here.

(We had one more intermediate engine  - Direct Verbs, it was dropped,
but prefix dv in dv_flow_en remains 😊)

Verbs are supported over all NICs - ConnectX-4,ConnectX-4LX, ConnectX-5, ConnectX-6, etc.
Direct Rules is supported for NICs starting from ConnectX-5.
"dv_flow_en=1" partameter engages Direct Rules, but I see you run testpmd
over 03:00.0 which is ConnectX-4, not  supporting Direct Rules.
Please, run over ConnectX-5 you have on your host.

As for error - it is not related to memory, rdma core just failed to create the group table,
because ConnectX-4 does not support DR.

With best regards, Slava
