[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 6/6] net/mlx5: reject VXLAN ID's modifications

Wed Mar 24 16:04:39 CET 2021


Modification of the 802.1Q Tag Identificator, VXLAN Network
Identificator or GENEVE Network Identificator is not supported.
Reject attempt to modify these fields via the MODIFY_FIELD
action and document this mlx5 driver limitation.

Fixes: 641dbe4fb0 ("net/mlx5: support modify field flow action")
