[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/mlx5: check meta register width for modify field

[Alexander Kozyrev]

The modify_field Flow API assumes that the META item is 32 bits wide.
But the C Register that is used for Meta item can be 16 or 32 bits
wide depending on kernel and firmware configurations.
Take this into consideration and use the appropriate META width.

I didn't plan to have it in this release since it's not critical and I'm afraid of such changes... I didn't mention this in the status mail today.
@Raslan Darawsheh<mailto:rasland@nvidia.com> can we check tomorrow regression result?
If not good we'll need to revert it.

Asaf Penso

[Slava Ovsiienko]

Yes, It is palliative, it is not perfect, and, IMO, it is crucial - with always applying 32-bit wide values we can destroy the kernel part of reg_c0
in some extended metadata modes and this would lead to steering malfunction.

With best regards,
Slava
