During the device spawn process, mlx5 PMD queried the available flow priorities by calling mlx5_flow_discover_priorities, queried if the DR drop action was supported on the root table by calling the mlx5_flow_discover_dr_action_support routine, and queried the availability of metadata register C by calling mlx5_flow_discover_mreg_c These functions created the test flows to get the supported fields, and at the end destroyed the test flows. The test flows in the first two functions was created on the root table. If the device was spawned with multiple representors, these test flows were created and destroyed on each representor as well. The above operations took a significant amount of init time during the device spawn. This patch optimizes the device discover functions, if there is the device with multiple representors (VF/SF) being spawned, the priority and drop action and metadata register support check can be done only ones and check results can be shared for all representors.
