> Subject: [v6 00/18] net/mlx5: Add HW steering low level support
> 
> Mellanox ConnetX devices supports packet matching, packet modification
> and redirection. These functionalities are also referred to as flow-steering.
> To configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device owned memory,
> this memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing a packet.
> 
> The highlight of this patchset is supporting HW Steering (HWS) which is the
> new technology supported in new ConnectX devices, HWS allows configuring
> steering rules directly to the HW using special HW queues with minimal CPU
> effort.
> 
> This patchset is the internal low layer implementation for HWS used by the
> mlx5 PMD. The mlx5dr (direct rule) is layer that bridges between the PMD
> and the HW by configuring the HW offloads based on the PMD logic
> 
> v2:
> Fix check patch and cosmetic changes
> 
> v3:
> -Fix unsupported items
> -Fix compilation with mlx5dv dependency
> 
> v4:
> -Fix compile on Windows
> 
> v5:
> -Fix compile on old rdma-core or no rdma core
> 
> v6:
> -Fix meson style and improve configure
> -Checkpatch and compilation fixes
> -Fix action number issue
>
