This patch adds the following limitations to the mlx5 PMD guide:
- With HW Steering and E-Switch enabled, transfer proxy port must
be started before any port representor.
- With HW Steering and E-Switch enabled, all representors
must be stopped before transfer proxy port is stopped.
Documentation of mlx5 PMD's implementations of
rte_eth_dev_start() and rte_eth_dev_stop() is updated accordingly:
- rte_eth_dev_start() returns (-EAGAIN) when transfer proxy port
cannot be started.
- rte_eth_dev_stop() returns (-EBUSY) when port representor
cannot be stopped.

This patch removes the following checks from validation
of modify field action:
- rejection of ADD operation,
- offsets should be aligned to 4 bytes.
These limitations were removed in
commit 0f4aa72b99 ("net/mlx5: support flow modify field with HWS"),
but non-HWS validation was not updated.
Notes about these limitations are removed from mlx5 PMD docs.
On top of that, the current offsetting behavior in modify field action
is clarified in the mlx5 docs.

The vector Tx path does not support VLAN insertion via the L2TAG2 field,
but the scalar path supports. The earlier commit was to force to select
scalar path as soon as kernel driver requests to use L2TAG2. That logic is
incorrect. Because other case like VLAN offloading not required but scalar
path selected would have a significant performance drop.
Therefore the following commit was reverted accordingly.
commit 0d58caa7d6 ("net/iavf: fix VLAN insertion")
After reverting this commit, the AVX512 Tx path would insert the VLAN tag
into the wrong location(inner of QinQ) when the kernel driver requested
L2TAG2. This is inconsistent with the behavior of PF(outer of QinQ).
It is currently known that ice kernel drivers newer than 1.8.9 will request
the use of L2TAG2. User can set parameter '--force-max-simd-bitwidth' to
64/128/256 to avoid this issue.

If any meter in the hierarchy has a policy flow containing set_tag or
modify_field action, the policy flow must match the src port to which
the policy belongs, to determine the order of modify_hdr and
meter action. But the meter hierarchy will not be able to use by
user flow that matches another src port.
To use this type of meter hierarchy for other src ports, we need to add
a new policy flow matching the new src port from the user flow
dynamically. But then it cannot be used by flow matching all ports.

In some E-Switch use cases, applications want to receive all traffic
on a single port. Since currently, flow API does not provide a way to
match traffic forwarded to any port representor, this patch adds
support for controlling representor matching on ingress flow rules.
Representor matching is controlled through a new device argument
repr_matching_en.
- If representor matching is enabled (default setting),
then each ingress pattern template has an implicit REPRESENTED_PORT
item added. Flow rules based on this pattern template will match
the vport associated with the port on which the rule is created.
- If representor matching is disabled, then there will be no implicit
item added. As a result ingress flow rules will match traffic
coming to any port, not only the port on which the flow rule is
created.
Representor matching is enabled by default, to provide an expected
default behavior.
This patch enables egress flow rules on representors when E-Switch is
enabled in the following configurations:
- repr_matching_en=1 and dv_xmeta_en=4
- repr_matching_en=1 and dv_xmeta_en=0
- repr_matching_en=0 and dv_xmeta_en=0
When representor matching is enabled, the following logic is
implemented:
1. Creating an egress template table in group 0 for each port. These
tables will hold default flow rules defined as follows:
pattern SQ
actions MODIFY_FIELD (set available bits in REG_C_0 to
vport_meta_tag)
MODIFY_FIELD (copy REG_A to REG_C_1, only when
dv_xmeta_en == 4)
JUMP (group 1)
2. Egress pattern templates created by an application have an implicit
MLX5_RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_TAG item prepended to the pattern, which
matches available bits of REG_C_0.
3. Egress flow rules created by an application have an implicit
MLX5_RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_TAG item prepended to the pattern, which
matches vport_meta_tag placed in available bits of REG_C_0.
4. Egress template tables created by an application, which are in
group n, are placed in group n + 1.
5. Items and actions related to META are operating on REG_A when
dv_xmeta_en == 0 or REG_C_1 when dv_xmeta_en == 4.
When representor matching is disabled and extended metadata is disabled,
no changes to the current logic are required.

This commit adds the support of connection tracking to HW steering as
SW steering did before.
The difference from SW steering implementation is that it takes
advantage of HW steering bulk action allocation support, in HW
steering only one single CT pool is needed.
An indexed pool is introduced to record allocated actions from bulk and
CT action state etc. Once one CT action is allocated from bulk, one
indexed object will also be allocated from the indexed pool, similar to
deallocating. That makes mlx5_aso_ct_action can also be managed by that
indexed pool, no need to be reserved from mlx5_aso_ct_pool. The single
CT pool is also saved to mlx5_aso_ct_action struct directly.
The ASO operation functions are shared with SW steering implementation.

This patch implements creating and caching of port action for use with
HW Steering FDB flows.
Actions are created on flow template API configuration and created
only on the port designated as the master. Attaching and detaching ports
in the same switching domain causes an update to the port actions cache
by, respectively, creating and destroying actions.
A new devarg fdb_def_rule_en is being added and it's used to control
the default dedicated E-Switch rules that are created by the PMD
implicitly or not, and PMD sets this value to 1 by default.
If set to 0, the default E-Switch rule will not be created and the user
can create the specific E-Switch rules on the root table if needed.
