Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/4] common/mlx5: query register c preserve capability via DevX
Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2020 09:49:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1608018591-97942-2-git-send-email-jiaweiw@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1608018591-97942-1-git-send-email-jiaweiw@nvidia.com>

Update function mlx5_devx_cmd_query_hca_attr() to add the
reg_c_preserve bit query.

The stored metadata in register C may be lost in NIC Tx and
FDB egress while doing one one of the following operations:
 - packet encapsulation.
 - packet mirroring (multiple processing paths).
 - packet sampling (using Flow Sampler).

If the reg_c_preserve bit is set to 1, then the above
limitation is obsolete, the all metadata registers Cx
preserve their values even through the operations mentioned
above.
