The title is made as a sub-section of "port map external Rx queue", which looks wrong. > + > +Set the flow engine to active(0) or standby(1) mode with specific flags:: > + testpmd> mlx5 set flow_engine <0|1> (flags) It should be said it is for testing live migration.

For the reasons above, I prefer not pulling this patch in the main branch.
