For example, when TCP\UDP sessions are suddenly closed. Currently, there is no any dpdk mechanism for flow aging and the applications use there own ways to detect and destroy aged-out flows. This RFC introduces flow aging APIs to offload the flow aging task from the application to the port. Design: - A new rte_flow action: RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_AGE to set the timeout and the application flow context for each flow. - A new ethdev event: RTE_ETH_EVENT_FLOW_AGED for the driver to report that there are new aged-out flows. - A new rte_flow API: rte_flow_get_aged_flows to get the aged-out flows contexts from the port. By this design each PMD can use its best way to do the aging with the device offloads supported by its HW.
