Currently, the flow meter policy does not support multiple actions per color; also the allowed action types per color are very limited. In addition, the policy cannot be pre-defined. Due to the growing in flow actions offload abilities there is a potential for the user to use variety of actions per color differently. This new meter policy API comes to allow this potential in the most ethdev common way using rte_flow action definition. A list of rte_flow actions will be provided by the user per color in order to create a meter policy. In addition, the API forces to pre-define the policy before the meters creation in order to allow sharing of single policy with multiple meters efficiently. meter_policy_id is added into struct rte_mtr_params. So that it can get the policy during the meters creation. Allow coloring the packet using a new rte_flow_action_color as could be done by the old policy API. Add two common policy template as macros in the head file. The next API function were added: - rte_mtr_meter_policy_add - rte_mtr_meter_policy_delete - rte_mtr_meter_policy_update - rte_mtr_meter_policy_validate The next struct was changed: - rte_mtr_params - rte_mtr_capabilities The next API was deleted: - rte_mtr_policer_actions_update To support this API the following app were changed: app/test-flow-perf: clean meter policer app/testpmd: clean meter policer To support this API the following drivers were changed: net/softnic: support meter policy API 1. Cleans meter rte_mtr_policer_action. 2. Supports policy API to get color action as policer action did. The color action will be mapped into rte_table_action_policer. net/mlx5: clean meter creation management Cleans and breaks part of the current meter management in order to allow better design with policy API.
