Hi,
FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1
Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/14/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.
Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.
Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable
This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/e28e67f7d2b3c0f1ffc46da2943c86669a85fade
Thanks.
Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix check in count action validation
[ upstream commit 57461cab161ac2c8cc1a96711efba9a8fa519358 ]
The AGE action can be implemented by either counters or ASO mechanism.
ASO is more efficient than generating counters just for the purpose of
aging, so when ASO is supported its use is preferable. On the other
hand, when there is count in the list of actions, the counter is already
generated, and it is best to use it for aging even if ASO is supported.
On the other hand, when the count action is "indirect", it cannot be
used for aging since it may be updated from other flow rules in which it
participates.
Checking whether ASO is supported depends on both the capability of the
device and the flow rule group number, ASO is not supported for group 0.
However, the flow_dv_validate() function only checks the capability and
ignores the group, allowing inadmissible flow rules.
For example, when the device supports ASO and a flow rule is set that
combines an indirect counter with aging for group 0, the rule should be
rejected, but it is created and does not function properly.
This patch updates the counter validation which will also consider the
group number when deciding if there is ASO support.
Fixes: daed4b6e3db2 ("net/mlx5: use aging by counter when counter exists")
