> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix offset field size in conntrack action
>
> In mlx5 PMD, struct mlx5_aso_ct_action represents a single ASO CT object
> inside a ASO CT bulk, which is used to implement conntrack flow action.
> offset field, which is 16 bits wide, in this struct represents
> an offset of the given object inside a bulk.
>
> When SW Steering flow engine is used, ASO CT bulks are allocated on
> demand, each having 64 objects. In this case offset field can fit any
> valid object offset.
>
> When HW Steering flow engine is used, a single ASO CT bulk is allocated
> during flow engine configuration. Since HW supports bulks bigger
> than 2^16 this offset field is too small to fit all valid values.
> This causes some ASO CT objects to be incorrectly reused on multiple
> connections, when more than 2^16 conntrack flow actions are used.
>
> This patch fixes this behavior. offset field size is increased
> to 32 bits.
