## PATCH 6/9: net/i40e: fix SCTP verification tag truncation in FDIR

### Errors

**Correctness bug - integer truncation**

In `i40e_fdir_node_sctp_process()`, the verification tag is declared as `rte_be32_t` but then assigned to a 16-bit variable:

```c
rte_be32_t tag_spec, tag_mask;
// ...
tag_spec = sctp_spec->hdr.tag;
tag_mask = sctp_mask->hdr.tag;
```

However, the code later uses these variables directly:

```c
if (tag_spec && tag_mask) {
    sctp_spec_be32 = rte_be_to_cpu_32(tag_spec);
    sctp_mask_be32 = rte_be_to_cpu_32(tag_mask);
```

The issue is not visible in the patch diff, but the variable declarations are changed from `rte_be16_t` to `rte_be32_t`. The patch appears correct based on the context - the commit message states this fixes truncation, and the type change from 16-bit to 32-bit matches the SCTP header field size. Without seeing the actual usage of these variables in the full function, I cannot verify whether the fix is complete.

**However, reviewing only the patch content**: The declarations are changed correctly. The actual assignments and usage are not visible in the diff, so assuming the rest of the function properly handles 32-bit values, this appears correct.

### Warnings

## PATCH 7/9: net/i40e: validate raw FDIR offsets and lengths

### Errors

None.

### Warnings

None.

### Info

None.

## PATCH 8/9: net/i40e: disable tunnel replacement in multi-driver mode

### Errors

None.

### Warnings

None.

### Info

None.

## PATCH 9/9: net/i40e: allow L2 and L3 only hash patterns

### Errors

None.

### Warnings

None.

### Info

None.

## Summary

The patch series makes several correctness improvements to the i40e FDIR and hash flow parsing:

1. Properly skips FDIR engine initialization when FDIR is unavailable
2. Rejects invalid VLAN+tunnel combinations in FDIR patterns
3. Refactors FDIR flow storage to use mempool instead of custom allocation
4. Separates ethertype-only FDIR matching into its own engine
5. Validates IPv4 fragment_offset fields correctly
6. Fixes SCTP verification tag truncation from 16-bit to 32-bit
7. Validates RAW pattern offsets and lengths properly
8. Disables unsupported tunnel replacement in multi-driver mode
9. Allows L2/L3-only RSS hash patterns

All patches appear to correctly address the issues described in their commit messages. The code follows DPDK coding standards, and the changes are focused and well-scoped.
