This patchset adds validations for flow items and actions
supplied by the user to fast path async flow API functions
implemented in mlx5 PMD.
- Patch 1: Adds the ability to generically calculate
flow item's mask size using rte_flow_conv().
This change is used in follow up patches to check for
non-zero mask in pattern template.
- Patches 2-7: Prepares mlx5 PMD for adding fast path validations.
Specifically:
- Required functionality for validating queue indexes and
target represented ports are extracted for reuse.
- Additional info, required for validation, is stored in
pattern and actions templates.
- Introduces mlx5_fp_debug_enabled() function for checking
if mlx5 PMD was compiled in debug mode.
- Patch 8: Introduce validations to:
- rte_flow_async_create()
- rte_flow_async_create_by_index()
- rte_flow_async_actions_update()
- rte_flow_async_destroy()
These validations are enabled if and only if
RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_DEBUG macro is defined during compilation.
