[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] net/mlx5: add inner tunnel items support on E-Switch

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@mellanox.com>]

The generic Flow rule for tunnels looks like:

flow create <attributes> <port> \
            <tunnel outer items pattern> \
            <tunnel vni item> \
            <tunnel inner items pattern>
			    
Current design supports only L2 addresses as inner pattern
items. This patchset adds support for L3 (IPv4/IPv6) addresses
and L4 (TCP/UDP) ports items as inner tunnel parameters.
	
Also this patchset adds support for inner and outer ethernet
types for the E-Switch Flows with tunnels. Inner and outer ethernet
type match  can be specified with ethernet items, vlan items, or
implicitly deduced from IP address items. The tcm_info field 
in Netlink message tcm structure is filled always with outer
protocol.
