Hi Dariusz,

> Goal of this patchset is to improve the throughput of flow insertion
> and deletion in mlx5 PMD when HW Steering flow engine is used.
> 
> - Patch 1 - Use preallocated per-queue, per-actions template buffer
>   for storing translated flow actions, instead of allocating and
>   filling it on demand, on each flow operation.
> - Patches 2-4 - Make resource index allocation optional. This allocation
>   will be skipped when it is not required by the created template table.
> - Patches 5-7 - Reduce memory footprint of the internal flow queue.
> - Patch 8 - Remove indirection between flow job and flow itself,
>   by using flow as an operation container.
> - Patches 9-10 - Reduce memory footpring of flow struct by moving
>   rarely used flow fields outside of the main flow struct.
>   These fields will accesses only when needed.
>   Also remove unneeded `zmalloc` usage.
> - Patch 11 - Remove unneeded device status check in flow create.
> 
> In general all of these changes result in the following improvements
