What's the reason for choosing pthread_mutex instead of rte_*_lock?

First of all vtep->created seems of no use. It is introduced to select the error
message in flow_tcf_create_iface(). I don't see any necessity to distinguish
between 'vtep is allocated by rte_malloc()' and 'vtep is created in kernel'.

And why do you need to check vtep->ifindex as well? If vtep is created in kernel
and its ifindex isn't set, that should be an error which had to be hanled in
flow_tcf_create_iface(). Such a vtep shouldn't exist.

Also, the refcnt management is a bit strange. Please put an abstraction by
adding create_iface(), get_iface() and release_iface(). In the get_ifce(),
vtep->refcnt should be incremented. And in the release_iface(), it decrease the
refcnt and if it reaches to zero, the iface can be removed. create_iface() will
set the refcnt to 1. And if you refer to mlx5_hrxq_get(), it even does searching
the list not by repeating the same lookup code here and there. That will make
your code much simpler.

Why negative(ifndef) first intead of positive(ifdef)?

How about adding 'vtep'? It sounds vague - creating a general interface.
E.g., flow_tcf_create_vtep_iface()?

Use a macro for '128'. Can't know the meaning.

Use rte_cpu_to_be_*() instead.

Flow of code here isn't smooth, thus could be error-prone. Most of all, I don't
like ret has multiple meanings. ret should be return value but you are using it
to store ifindex.

If vtep isn't created and ifouter is set, then skip init below, which
means, if vtep is created or ifouter is set, it tries to get ifindex of vtep.
But why do you want to try to call this API even if it failed to create vtep?
Let's not make code flow convoluted even though it logically works. Let's make
it straightforward.

If it fails to create a vtep above, it will print out two warning messages and
one rte_flow_error message. And it even selects message to print between two?
And there's another info msg at the end even in case of failure. Do you really
want to do this even with manipulating ret to change code path?  Not a good
practice.

Usually, code path should be straightforward for sucessful path and for
errors/failures, return immediately or use 'goto' if there's need for cleanup.

Please refactor entire function.

Return negative errno in case of failure like others.

You just need one variable.

	struct mlx5_flow_tcf_vtep *vtep;

	LIST_FOREACH(vtep, &vtep_list_vxlan, next) {
		if (vtep->port == port)
			break;
	}

Making vtep null to skip the following code? Please merge the two same if/else
and make the code path strightforward. And which errno do you expect here?
Should it be set EEXIST instead?

Why repeating same if/else?


This is my suggestion but if you take my suggestion to have
flow_tcf_[create|get|release]_iface(), this will get much simpler.

{
	struct mlx5_flow_tcf_vtep *vtep;
	uint16_t port = dev_flow->tcf.vxlan_decap->udp_port;

	LIST_FOREACH(vtep, &vtep_list_vxlan, next) {
		if (vtep->port == port)
			break;
	}
	if (vtep && vtep->ifouter)
		return rte_flow_error_set(... EEXIST ...);
	else if (vtep) {
		++vtep->refcnt;
	} else {
		vtep = flow_tcf_create_iface(tcf, 0, port, error);
		if (!vtep)
			return rte_flow_error_set(...);
		LIST_INSERT_HEAD(&vtep_list_vxlan, vtep, next);
	}
	assert(vtep->ifindex);
	return vtep->ifindex;

If you want to find out an empty port number, you can use rte_bitmap instead of
repeating searching the entire list for all possible port numbers.

It is weird. You just can have vtep pointer in the dev_flow->tcf.tunnel instead
of ifindex_tun which is same as vtep->ifindex like the assertion below. Then,
this lookup can be skipped.

ifindex_org looks a temporary storage in this code. And this kind of hassle
(replace/restore) is there because you took the ifindex from the netlink
message. Why don't you have just

struct mlx5_flow_tcf_tunnel_hdr {
	uint32_t type; /**< Tunnel action type. */
	unsigned int ifindex; /**< Original dst/src interface */
	struct mlx5_flow_tcf_vtep *vtep; /**< Tunnel endpoint device. */
	unsigned int *nlmsg_ifindex_ptr; /**< ifindex ptr in Netlink message. */
};

and don't change ifindex?
