Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/07/21. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/53193aeeba442cc83bf58aec6449778ced80c465

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: workaround drop action with old kernel

[ upstream commit 45633c460c223a67dd1a7cc084c3eceb5e17687c ]

Currently, there are two types of drop action implementation
in the PMD. One is the DR (Direct Rules) dummy placeholder drop
action and another is the dedicated dummy queue drop action.
When creates flow on the root table with DR drop action, the
action will be converted to MLX5_IB_ATTR_CREATE_FLOW_FLAGS_DROP
Verbs attribute in rdma-core.

In some inbox systems, MLX5_IB_ATTR_CREATE_FLOW_FLAGS_DROP Verbs
attribute may not be supported in the kernel driver. Create flow
with drop action on the root table will be failed as it is not
supported. In this case, the dummy queue drop action should be
used instead of DR dummy placeholder drop action.

This commit adds the DR drop action support detect on the root
table. If MLX5_IB_ATTR_CREATE_FLOW_FLAGS_DROP Verbs is not
supported in the system, a dummy queue will be used as drop
action.

Fixes: da845ae9d7c1 ("net/mlx5: fix drop action for Direct Rules/Verbs")
