OK, makes sense. In that case existing rules may indeed prevent subsequent
ones from getting created if their priority is wrong. I do not think there
is a way around that if the application needs this exact ordering.

> Agree the processing may be too expensive. Maybe we can say it's optional to return error details. And that's a good question that what APP should do if creating the rule fails. I believe normally it will choose handle the rule by itself. But I think it's not bad to feedback more. Or even the APP want to adjust the rules, it cannot be an option for lack of info.

All right then, I'll add it to the specification.

 int
 rte_flow_validate(uint8_t port_id,
                   const struct rte_flow_pattern *pattern,
                   const struct rte_flow_actions *actions,
                   struct rte_flow_error *error);

With error possibly NULL if the application does not care. Is it fine for
you?

Perhaps we were talking about different things, here I was only explaining
why rte_flow (the result of creating a flow rule) should be opaque and fully
managed by the PMD. More on the SW side of things below.

Assume a HW capable of keeping flow rules programmed even during a
stop/start cycle (e.g. mlx4/mlx5 may be able to do it from DPDK point of
view), don't you think it is more efficient to standardize on this behavior
and let PMDs restore flow rules for HW that do not support it regardless of
whether it would be done by RTE or the application (SW)?

> And in existing code, we store the filters by SW at least on Intel NICs. But I think we cannot reuse them, because considering the priority and which category of filter should be chosen, I think we need a whole new table for generic API. I think it’s what's designed now, right?

So I understand you'd want RTE to help your PMD keep track of the flow rules
it created?

Nothing wrong with that, all I'm saying is that it should be entirely
optional. RTE should not automatically maintain a list. PMDs have to call
RTE helpers if they need help to maintain a context. These helpers are not
defined in this API yet because it is difficult to know what will be useful
in advance.

In an application:

 rte_flow *foo = rte_flow_create(...);

In the above example, foo cannot be dereferenced by the application nor RTE,
only the PMD is aware of its contents. This object can only be used with
rte_flow*() functions.

PMDs are thus free to make this object grow as needed when adding internal
features without breaking any kind of public API/ABI.

What I meant is, given that the application is supposed to store foo
somewhere in order to destroy it later, the PMD does not have to keep track
of that pointer assuming it does not need to access it later on its own for
some reason.

I guess that's because we're discussing two different things, flow rule
specifications and flow rule objects. Let me sum it up:

- Flow rule specifications are the patterns/actions combinations provided by
  applications to rte_flow_create(). Applications can store those as needed
  and organize them as they wish (hash, tree, list). Neither PMDs nor RTE
  will do it for them.

- Flow rule objects (struct rte_flow *) are generated when a flow rule is
  created. Applications must keep these around if they want to manipulate
  them later (i.e. destroy or query existing rules).

Then PMDs *may* need to keep and arrange flow rule objects internally for
management purposes. Could be because HW requires it, detecting conflicting
rules, managing priorities and so on. Possible reasons are not described in
this API because these are thought as PMD-specific needs.

Do we agree that applications should not care? Flow rules configured before
stopping a port must still be there after restarting it.

What we seem to not agree about is that you think RTE should be responsible
for restoring flow rules of devices that lose them when stopped. I think
doing so is unfair to devices for which it is not the case and not really
nice to applications, so my opinion is that the PMD is responsible for
restoring flow rules however it wants. It is free to use RTE helpers to keep
their track, as long as it's all managed internally.

The generic format both RTE and applications might understand is the one
described in this API (struct rte_flow_pattern and struct
rte_flow_actions).

If we wanted RTE to maintain some sort of per-port state for flow rule
specifications, it would have to be a copy of these structures arranged
somehow (list or something else).

If we consider that PMDs need to keep a context object associated to a flow
rule (the opaque struct rte_flow *), then RTE would most likely have to
store it along with the flow specification.

Such a list may not be useful to applications (list lookups take time), so
they would implement their own redundant method. They might also require
extra room to attach some application context to flow rules. A generic list
cannot plan for it.

Applications know what they want to do with flow rules and are responsible
for managing them efficiently with RTE out of the way.

I'm not sure if this answered your question, if not, please describe a
scenario where a RTE-managed list of flow rules would be mandatory.
