[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/7] net/mlx5: support for flow action on VLAN header

[Moti Haimovsky <motih@mellanox.com>]

VLAN actions support is implemented in librte_ethdev, and in
test-pmd application, based on [1] Generic flow API.
These actions conform to the VLAN actions defined in
[2] the OpenFlow Switch Specification.

rte_flow defines the following VLAN actions:
 1. OF_POP_VLAN
    Pop the outer-most VLAN header from the packet.
 2. OF_PUSH_VLAN
    Push a new VLAN header onto the packet.
 3. OF_SET_VLAN_VID
    Sets the ID of the outermost VLAN tag.
 4. OF_SET_VLAN_PCP
    Sets the 3-bit priority field of the outermost VLAN tag.

This series of patches adds support for those VLAN actions
to the mlx5 PMD using the Direct Verbs interface.
