I’m trying to use the Generic Flow API (rte_flow) to match IP packets based on 
their length (either L2, L3 or L4 lengths).
 
There doesn’t seem to be an item type that explicitly matches based on length 
(RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_x).  So I’ve tried using a mask with 
RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_IPV4 to match on the total_length field (and similar attempt 
to match on the UDP header dgram_len field) but the NIC I’m using (mlx5) 
returns an error (mask enables non supported bits).
 
Am I out of luck, or maybe missing something?
 
Thanks for any insights!
 
I’ve tried, DPDK: 20.11.7 and 22.11.1
