The skeleton of mlx5 HW steering(HWS) has been updated into upstream for pretty a long time, but not updated anymore due to missing of the low-level steering layer code. Luckily, better late than never, the steering layer finnaly comes[1].
This series will add more features to the existing PMD code: - FDB and metadata copy. - Modify field. - Meter. - Counter. - Aging. - Action template pre-parser optimization. - Connection tracking. Some features such as meter/aging/ct touches the public API, and public API changes have been sent to ML much earily in other threads in order not to be swallowed by this big series.
