ARGUMENTS

22       Please   see   mlx5dv_create_flow_matcher(3)   for   flow_matcher   and
23       match_value.
24
25       num_actions
26              Specifies how many actions are passed in actions_attr
27
28   actions_attr
29              struct mlx5dv_flow_action_attr {
30                  enum mlx5dv_flow_action_type type;
31                  union {
32                      struct ibv_qp *qp;
33                      struct ibv_counters *counter;
34                      struct ibv_flow_action *action;
35                      uint32_t tag_value;

37                  };
38              };
39
40       type   MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_DEST_IBV_QP  The  QP  passed will receive the
41              matched packets.   MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_IBV_FLOW_ACTION  The  flow
42              action  to  be  applied.   MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_TAG Flow tag to be
43              provided in work completion.   MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_DEST_DEVX  The
44              DEVX    destination    object    for    the   matched   packets.
45              MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_COUNTERS_DEVX The DEVX counter object for the
46              matched packets.
47
48       qp     QP passed, to be used with type MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_DEST_IBV_QP.
49
50       action Flow    action,   to   be   used   with   type   MLX5DV_FLOW_AC‐
51              TION_IBV_FLOW_ACTION see  mlx5dv_create_flow_action_modify_head‐
52              er(3) and mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat(3).
53
54       tag_value
55              tag  value  to be passed in the work completion, to be used with
56              type MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_TAG see ibv_create_cq_ex(3).
57
58       obj    DEVX object, to be used with  type  MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_DEST_DEVX
59              or by MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_COUNTERS_DEVX.

RETURN VALUE

62       mlx5dv_create_flow returns a pointer to the created flow rule, on error
63       NULL will be returned and errno will be set.
