This series adds an easy and maintainable configuration version support for
those two actions for 18.08 by using global variables in testpmd to store the
necessary information for the tunnel encapsulation. Those variables are used
in conjunction of RTE_FLOW_ACTION_{VXLAN,NVGRE}_ENCAP action to create easily
the action for flows.
A common way to use it:
set vxlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4 ip-src 27.0.0.1
ip-dst 128.0.0.1 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
queue index 0 / end
set vxlan-with-vlan ip-version ipv4 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4 p-src
127.0.0.1 ip-dst 128.0.0.1 vlan-tci 34 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11
eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
queue index 0 / end
set vxlan ip-version ipv6 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4 ip-src ::1
ip-dst ::2222 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11 eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
queue index 0 / end
set vxlan-with-vlan ip-version ipv6 vni 4 udp-src 4 udp-dst 4
ip-src ::1 ip-dst ::2222 vlan-tci 34 eth-src 11:11:11:11:11:11
eth-dst 22:22:22:22:22:22
flow create 0 ingress pattern end actions vxlan_encap /
queue index 0 / end
This also replace the proposal done by Mohammad Abdul Awal [1] which handles
in a more complex way for the same work.
Note this API has already a modification planned for 18.11 [2] thus those
series should have a limited life for a single release.
