 As i40e PMD supports both 16 and 32 bytes RX descriptor sizes, and 16 bytes size can provide helps to high performance of small packets.
 Configuration of ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_16BYTE_RX_DESC`` in config files can be changed to use 16 bytes size RX descriptors.
 
+input set requirement of each pctype for FDIR
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each pctype packet can only have one specific input set for FDIR, for example if you download 2 rte_flow rules of different input set for one specific pctype,
+it is will fail and return the info "Conflict with the first rule's input set", that means the first type of input set conflict with the current one,
+this limitaition is required by hardware.
