> Subject: [PATCH 4/5] net/mlx5: fix GENEVE protocol type translation
> 
> When application creates several flows to match on GENEVE tunnel without
> explicitly specifying GENEVE protocol type value in flow rules, PMD will
> translate that to zero mask.
> RDMA-CORE cannot distinguish between different inner flow types and
> produces identical matchers for each zero mask.
> 
> The patch extracts inner header type from flow rule and forces it in GENEVE
> protocol type, if application did not specify any without explicitly specifying
> GENEVE protocol type value in flow rules, protocol type value.
