This series brings enhancements to various rte_flow helpers:
- Allow applications to use rte_flow_error_set() by making it part of the
public interface and documenting it as such.
- Address rte_flow_copy()'s limitations by replacing it with the more
versatile rte_flow_conv(). This new function allows retrieving other
properties such as item/action names, enabling testpmd to finally use it
and get rid of duplicated code.
- Add a script (gen-rte_flow_conv-h.sh) to help with generating the
resources used by rte_flow_conv(). Developers should run it when adding or
modifying pattern items or actions (done as part of this series to add the
missing "fuzzy" pattern item).
- Future plans for rte_flow_conv() include translating error codes to
human-readable messages, so applications do not have to make their own.
All these changes address concerns raised a couple of months ago [1]. Work
on these patches actually started at the time but I was unable to complete
and clean them up until recently.
