> Subject: [PATCH V3 1/1] net/mlx5: fix IPv6 next proto validation
> 
> Previous patch added validation of the IPv6 next proto field, in order
> to overcome a known limitation.
> One of the values checked is IPPROTO_HOPOPTS, which is defined as 0.
> If proto field is not specified for matching, or mask=0, as in the
> following, a wrong validation takes place.
> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 has_frag_ext is 0 / end actions
> drop / end
> Fix the validation only on proto asked by the user.
