Hi, Tonghao Thank you for the patch. I suppose, the patch should be extended to encompass the routines: - flow_dv_convert_action_mark - flow_dv_convert_action_set_meta (done in the patch) - flow_dv_validate_item_mark - flow_dv_validate_item_mark - flow_dv_validate_action_flag - flow_dv_validate_action_mark
In action converting routines we should add MLX5_ASSERT() (returning REG_NONE must not happen there - the wrong conditions must be filtered out on validation stage) One more point - it would be good to add cc:sta...@dpdk.org Would you like to extend the patch or let us do it?
