[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix counter offset detection

[Matan Azrad]

From: Suanming Mou
> Currently, the counter offset support is discovered by creating the rule with
> invalid offset counter and drop action in root table. If the rule creation fails
> with EINVAL errno, that mean counter offset is not supported in root table.
> 
> However, drop action may not be supported in some rdma-core version in
> root table. In this case, the discover code will not work properly.
> 
> This commits changes flow attribute to egress. That removes all the extra
> fate actions in the flow to avoid any unsupported fate actions make the
> discover code fail time to time.
> 
> Fixes: 994829e695c0 ("net/mlx5: remove single counter container")
