40 type MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_DEST_IBV_QP The QP passed will receive the

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).

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.

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