I tried this version on Debian testing which has:
kernel 6.5.0-5-amd64
clang 16.0.6
If build and run with the pre-compiled BPF then it will load the
example flow (see https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/tap.html)
But if I recompile the bpf program by using make in the tap/bpf
directory, then the resulting bpf instructions will not make
it past verifier.
With modified tap_bpf_api can get the log message as:
testpmd> flow create 0 priority 4 ingress pattern eth dst is 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f / ipv4 / tcp / end actions rss queues 0 1 2 3 end / end
