[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 09/10] net/mlx5: optimize flow director filter memory

[Suanming Mou <suanmingm@mellanox.com>]

From: Wentao Cui <wentaoc@mellanox.com>

This commit is for mlx5 fdir flow memory optimization.

Currently for the fdir member in rte_flow structure. It saves the fidr
memory pointer directly. As fidr is fading away, use one bit help to
indicate the function in the flow and add the content to an extra list
save the memory for the other widely usage cases.
