[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v1 1/2] net/mlx5: fix RSS expansion for 'explicit' graph node

[Lior Margalit]

The RSS expansion algorithm is using a graph to find the possible
expansion paths. A graph node with the 'explicit' flag will be skipped,
if it is not found in the flow pattern.

The current implementation misses the case where the node with the
explicit flag is in the middle of the expanded path.
For example:
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / udp / vxlan / end
actions rss level 2 types tcp end / end
The VLAN node has the explicit flag, so it is currently included in the
expanded flow:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH VLAN IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH VLAN IPV6 TCP END

The fix is to skip the nodes with the explicit flag while iterating over
the possible expansion paths. Using the above example, the flows will be:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV6 TCP END

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v1 2/2] net/mlx5: fix RSS expansion traversal over next nodes

[Lior Margalit]

The RSS expansion is based on DFS algorithm to traverse over the possible
expansion paths.

The current implementation breaks out, if it reaches the terminator of the
"next nodes" array, instead of going backwards to try the next path.
For example:
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / udp / vxlan / end
actions rss level 2 types tcp end / end
The paths found are:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV6 TCP END
The traversal stopped after getting to the terminator of the next nodes of
the ETH node. It missed the rest of the nodes in the next nodes array of
the VXLAN node.

The fix is to go backwards when reaching the terminator of the current
level and find if there is a "next node" to start traversing a new path.
Using the above example, the flows will be:
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN ETH IPV6 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN IPV4 TCP END
ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN IPV6 TCP END
The traversal will find additional paths, because it traverses through all
the next nodes array of the VXLAN node.
