This patch enabled Protocol Agnostic Flow (raw flow) Offloading Flow
Director (FDIR) in AVF, based on the Parser Library feature and the
existing rte_flow `raw` API.
The input spec and mask of raw pattern are first parsed via the
Parser Library, and then passed to the kernel driver to create the
flow rule.
Similar as ice PMD's implemnentation, each raw flow requires:
1. A byte string of raw target packet bits.
2. A byte string contains mask of target packet.
Here is an example:
FDIR matching ipv4 dst addr with 1.2.3.4 and redirect to queue 3:
flow create 0 ingress pattern raw \
pattern spec \
00000000000000000000000008004500001400004000401000000000000001020304 \
pattern mask \
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000ffffffff \
/ end actions queue index 3 / mark id 3 / end
Note that mask of some key bits (e.g., 0x0800 to indicate ipv4 proto)
is optional in our cases. To avoid redundancy, we just omit the mask
of 0x0800 (with 0xFFFF) in the mask byte string example. The prefix
'0x' for the spec and mask byte (hex) strings are also omitted here.
