TPID handling in rte_flow VLAN and E_TAG pattern item definitions is not
consistent with the normal stacking order of pattern items, which is
confusing to applications.
Problem is that when followed by one of these layers, the EtherType field
of the preceding layer keeps its "inner" definition, and the "outer" TPID
is provided by the subsequent layer, the reverse of how a packet looks like
on the wire:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN EtherType = B | B DATA ]
rte_flow: [ ETH EtherType = B | VLAN TPID = A | B DATA ]
Worse, when QinQ is involved, the stacking order of VLAN layers is
unspecified. It is unclear whether it should be reversed (innermost to
outermost) as well given TPID applies to the previous layer:
Wire: [ ETH TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN EtherType = C | C DATA ]
rte_flow 1: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = B | VLAN TPID = A | C DATA ]
rte_flow 2: [ ETH EtherType = C | VLAN TPID = A | VLAN TPID = B | C DATA ]
While specifying EtherType/TPID is hopefully rarely necessary, the stacking
order in case of QinQ and the lack of documentation remain an issue.
This patch replaces TPID in the VLAN pattern item with an inner
EtherType/TPID as is usually done everywhere else (e.g. struct vlan_hdr),
clarifies documentation and updates all relevant code.
It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()
Summary of changes for PMDs that implement ETH, VLAN or E_TAG pattern
items:
- bnxt: EtherType matching is supported with and without VLAN, but TPID
matching is not and triggers an error.
- e1000: EtherType matching is only supported with the ETHERTYPE filter,
which does not support VLAN matching, therefore no impact.
- enic: same as bnxt.
- i40e: same as bnxt with existing FDIR limitations on allowed EtherType
values. The remaining filter types (VXLAN, NVGRE, QINQ) do not support
EtherType matching.
- ixgbe: same as e1000, with additional minor change to rely on the new
E-Tag macro definition.
- mlx4: EtherType/TPID matching is not supported, no impact.
- mlx5: same as bnxt.

- sfc: same as bnxt.

RSS hash types (ETH_RSS_* macros defined in rte_ethdev.h) describe the
protocol header fields of a packet that must be taken into account while
computing RSS.
When facing encapsulated (e.g. tunneled) packets, there is an ambiguity as
to whether these should apply to inner or outer packets. Applications need
the ability to tell exactly "where" RSS must be performed.
This is addressed by adding encapsulation level information to the RSS flow
action. Its default value is 0 and stands for the usual unspecified
behavior. Other values provide a specific encapsulation level.
Contrary to the change announced by commit 676b605182a5 ("doc: announce
ethdev API change for RSS configuration"), this patch does not affect
struct rte_eth_rss_conf but struct rte_flow_action_rss as the former is not
used anymore by the RSS flow action. ABI impact is therefore limited to
rte_flow.
This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()

By definition, RSS involves some kind of hash algorithm, usually Toeplitz.

Since its inception, the rte_flow RSS action has been relying in part on
external struct rte_eth_rss_conf for compatibility with the legacy RSS API.
This structure lacks parameters such as the hash algorithm to use, and more
recently, a method to tell which layer RSS should be performed on [1].
Given struct rte_eth_rss_conf will never be flexible enough to represent a
complete RSS configuration (e.g. RETA table), this patch supersedes it by
extending the rte_flow RSS action directly.
A subsequent patch will add a field to use a non-default RSS hash
algorithm. To that end, a field named "types" replaces the field formerly
known as "rss_hf" and standing for "RSS hash functions" as it was
confusing. Actual RSS hash function types are defined by enum
rte_eth_hash_function.
This patch updates all PMDs and example applications accordingly.
It breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_copy()
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_query()
- rte_flow_validate()

This patch makes the following changes to flow rule actions:
- List order now matters, they are redefined as performed first to last
instead of "all simultaneously".
- Repeated actions are now supported (e.g. specifying QUEUE multiple times
now duplicates traffic among them). Previously only the last action of
any given kind was taken into account.
- No more distinction between terminating/non-terminating/meta actions.
Flow rules themselves are now defined as always terminating unless a
PASSTHRU action is specified.
These changes alter the behavior of flow rules in corner cases in order to
prepare the flow API for actions that modify traffic contents or properties
(e.g. encapsulation, compression) and for which order matter when combined.
Previously one would have to do so through multiple flow rules by combining
PASSTRHU with priority levels, however this proved overly complex to
implement at the PMD level, hence this simpler approach.
This breaks ABI compatibility for the following public functions:
- rte_flow_create()
- rte_flow_validate()
PMDs with rte_flow support are modified accordingly:
- bnxt: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions and does
not support PASSTHRU.
- e1000: no change, same as bnxt.
- enic: modified to forbid redundant actions, no support for default drop.
- failsafe: no change needed.
- i40e: no change, implementation already forbids multiple actions.
- ixgbe: same as i40e.
- mlx4: modified to forbid multiple fate-deciding actions and drop when
unspecified.
- mlx5: same as mlx4, with other redundant actions also forbidden.
- sfc: same as mlx4.
- tap: implementation already complies with the new behavior except for
the default pass-through modified as a default drop.
