To support more meters and better performance,
MLX HW provide ASO flow meter.
It can expose millions of ASO flow meter context's in HW.
This ASO object can allocate the large bulk meter objects.
This patch set implement the ASO flow meter for mlx5 driver.
MLX5 PMD driver will be responsible for ASO flow meter manage to HW.
What is ASO?
Search yields "Advanced Steering Operation" but that seems Mellanox jargon,
would you mind adding some mlx documentation to describe it? If there are some
design considerations around it, it may be good to document that too.
Also please provide the long version of the abbreviation in the commit log, at
least at first usage of it.
And what do you think mentioning from this new support in the release notes?
Thanks,
ferruh
