[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/4][PMD][GENERIC_FILTER] ***NIC filters support of generic feature***

[Jingjing Wu <jingjing.wu@intel.com>]

A generic filter mechanism for handling special packet is required.
It will allow filters to be set in HW when available so that specific
packet may be filtered by NICs to specific descriptor queues for
processing. Currently only Flow Director for Intel's 10GbE 82599
devices is available. Other types of filter are not supported.

NIC filters list below are implemented in patches:
ethertype filter, syn filter, 2tuple filter and flex filter for 82580 and i350
ethertype filter, syn filter and 5tuple filter for 82599

jingjing.wu (4):
  add ethdev APIs for NIC filters of generic filter feature
  add igb NIC filters of generic filter feature
  add ixgbe NIC filters of generic filter feature
  add commands in testpmd for NIC filters
