It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/17/21. So please shout if anyone has objections. Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing (ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was correctly done. Queued patches are on a temporary branch at: https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue This queued commit can be viewed at: https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/9abe59fcf1f5bf6ef7a04ed0358fa53d768e9319 Thanks.

Once packet is marked in flow engine it will be always reported as tagged. For metadata only the zero value means there is "no metadata" in the packet and the metadata flag is not set for the case.
