Subject: [PATCH v2] doc: update match with compare result item limitation
Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2024 17:34:15 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241106093415.1062069-1-suanmingm@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241105014736.1006927-1-suanmingm@nvidia.com>

In switch mode, when ``repr_matching_en`` flag is enabled in the devarg,
the match with compare result item is not supported to the ``ingress``
rule as an implicit REPRESENTED_PORT need to be added to the matcher.
That REPRESENTED_PORT item conflicts with the single item limitation for
match with compare result item.

Fixes: cb25df7ce9d6 ("net/mlx5: support comparison matching")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Signed-off-by: Suanming Mou <suanmingm@nvidia.com>

v2: Add `repr_matching_en`` enabled by default explanation.
