[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 02/13] ethdev: add flow API rule copy function

Gaetan Rivet gaetan.rivet at 6wind.com
Wed Mar 8 16:15:35 CET 2017


Take this helper from the testpmd app to offer it alongside the flow
API.

This allows PMDs and applications to save flow rules in their generic
format for later processing. This is useful when rules cannot be applied
immediately, such as when the device is not properly initialized.
