sorry, i make a mistake when set the rte_acl_field_def.

the input_index is not consecutive when define sport/dport like this:

    {   
        .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_RANGE,
        .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
        .field_index = SRCP_FIELD_IPV4,
        .input_index = RTE_ACL_IPV4_SPORT,
        .offset = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) -
            offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, next_proto_id),
    },  
    {   
        .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_RANGE,
        .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
        .field_index = DSTP_FIELD_IPV4,
        .input_index = RTE_ACL_IPV4_DPORT,
        .offset = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) -
                offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, next_proto_id) +
                sizeof(uint16_t),
    },  

input_index RTE_ACL_IPV4_SPORT is not equal to RTE_ACL_IPV4_DPORT, and size is uint16_t not 4 consecutive bytes. 

in program guide, it has a instruction as following:
[input_index As mentioned above, all input fields, except the very first one, must be in groups of 4 consecutive bytes. The input index specifies to which input group that field belongs to.]

change rte_acl_field_def as following, then match ok:
    {   
        .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_RANGE,
        .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
        .field_index = SRCP_FIELD_IPV4,
        .input_index = RTE_ACL_IPV4_PORT,
        .offset = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) -
            offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, next_proto_id),
    },  
    {   
        .type = RTE_ACL_FIELD_TYPE_RANGE,
        .size = sizeof(uint16_t),
        .field_index = DSTP_FIELD_IPV4,
        .input_index = RTE_ACL_IPV4_PORT,
        .offset = sizeof(struct ipv4_hdr) -
                offsetof(struct ipv4_hdr, next_proto_id) +
                sizeof(uint16_t),
    },  

emr, read the code of ACL lib again, especially acl_calc_wildness and acl_rule_stats functions, full of trick!

If you believe there is a problem, could you try to reproduce it with app/testacl,
and provide a rule file and a trace file?
