> Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix flow META item validation
>
> When flow is inserted with meta match item it requires a certain
> register support.
> As part of the flow validation of such flows, the validation
> function is missing a check that the mlx5 driver is not in
> legacy mode in terms of extended meta data support
> (MLX5_XMETA_MODE_LEGACY flag).
> If the driver is in legacy mode it will cause downstream
> function that allocates needed register for meta data.
>
> The fix checks explicitly the conditions for support of
> meta data in FDB mode. if the conditions are not met
> an error message will be issued.
