The RSS expansion algorithm is using a graph to find the possible
expansion paths. A graph node with the 'explicit' flag will be skipped,
if it is not found in the flow pattern.
The current implementation misses the case where the node with the
explicit flag is in the middle of the expanded path.
For example:
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / udp / vxlan / end
actions rss level 2 types tcp end / end
The VLAN node has the explicit flag, so it is currently included in the
expanded flow:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH VLAN IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH VLAN IPV6 TCP END
The fix is to skip the nodes with the explicit flag while iterating over
the possible expansion paths. Using the above example, the flows will be:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV6 TCP END
