[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 00/15] Add ASO meter support in MLX5 PMD

[Jiawei Wang]

To support more meters and better performance,
MLX HW provides ASO (Advanced Steering Operation) flow meter.
It can expose millions of ASO flow meter context's in HW.
This ASO object can allocate the large bulk meter objects.
This patch set implement the ASO flow meter for mlx5 driver.
MLX5 PMD driver will be responsible for ASO flow meter manage to HW.

V2: Fix compile error issue (mlx5_glue->destroy_flow_action)
V3: Fix comments.
V4: Fix comments and add Acked.
V5: Fix unused log_obj_size issue.
V6: Fix comments and update release notes.
