Hi Ori,

> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] net/mlx5: Add Direct Rule support
> 
> This patch set adds support for Direct Rules API for MLX5 driver.
> 
> As more and more applications like OVS are inserting and removing large
> number of flows, the flow insertion rate become more critical.
> 
> In current MLX5 PMD rules are inserted to the device using the FW, this limits
> the max insertion rate. The solution is using a new set of API that are part of
> RDMA-Core. which enables bypassing the FW and writing the flows directly
> to the device, which results in a much faster insertion rate.

See small comments on the series.
