> Subject: [PATCH v3] net/mlx5: support e-switch TCP-flags flow filter
> 
> This patch adds support for offloading flow rules with TCP-flags filter to mlx5
> eswitch Hardwrae.
> 
> With mlx5 it is possible to offload a limited set of flow rules to the mlxsw (or
> e-switch) using the DPDK flow commands using the "transfer" attribute. This
> set of flow rules also supports filtering according to the values found in the
> TCP flags.
> This patch implements this offload capability in the mlx5 PMD under transfer
> attribute.

This is not what I meant. 

Have a look on the different flow engines we have. To validate TCP each one of them is calling the general, fits all, mlx5_flow_validate_item_tcp. if there is a specific, engine unique, logic for the validation it 
Is done after it. See example on the TCF engine.

The same should be with the TCP flags. The mlx5_flow_validate_item_tcp remains the same as today, just checks the common stuff. 
The verbs and dv flow engine should have an extra check after it that the TCP flags are not part of the mask. 
The TCF should not check it, as it is supported.
