> Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] ethdev: jump to table support
> 
> Introduce new Flow API JUMP_TO_TABLE_INDEX action.
> It allows bypassing a hierarchy of groups and going directly to a specified flow
> table. That gives a user the flexibility to jump between different priorities in a
> group and eliminates the need to do a table lookup in the group hierarchy.
> The JUMP_TO_TABLE_INDEX action forwards a packet to the specified rule
> index inside the index-based flow table.
> 
> The current index-based flow table doesn't do any matching on the packet and
> executes the actions immediately.
> Add a new index-based flow table with pattern matching.
> The JUMP_TO_TABLE_INDEX can redirect a packet to another matching criteria
> at the specified index in this case.
