That's what the \"allocate\nflow meter registers\" patch does.\n\nAs with the three sub flows, two more flow tables are created for the\nmeter flow and suffix flow in patch \"prepare meter flow tables\". As\nwrote in the RFC, meter flow and suffix flow are separated since meter\nmaybe shared with multiple flows.\n\nFor the meter action statistics's query, the DevX flow counter is\nexposed to meter action in patch \"expose flow counters management\".\n\nIn the \"split meter flow\" patch, flow with meter is split to three\nsub flow. The *_DECAP and meter action will be in the prefix flow.\nAnd an extra tag action with unique flow id to match with the suffix\nflow is also added to the prefix flow. The suffix flow will apply\nall the left actions while the flow id in tag item matches.\n\nSince the metadata copy mark action is in the meter suffix flow,\nthe REG_C for cpoy mark and prefix-suffix flow match is shared.\nOnce the meter suffix flow add the tag, metadata suffix sub flow\nwon't add the tag anymore but share the tag is enough. It's done\nin the \"share tag between meter and metadata\" patch.\n\nThe meter patch set should be applied after the extensive metadata\nfeature:\nhttps://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=7242\n\n\nSuanming Mou (19):\n net/mlx5: add meter operation callback\n net/mlx5: fill meter capabilities using DevX\n net/mlx5: allocate flow meter registers\n net/mlx5: support meter profile operations\n net/mlx5: validate meter profile\n net/mlx5: prepare meter flow tables\n net/mlx5: add policer rules operations\n net/mlx5: support basic meter operations\n net/mlx5: add meter action creation to the glue\n net/mlx5: support meter modification operations\n net/mlx5: support meter profile update\n net/mlx5: expose flow counters management\n net/mlx5: add count action to meter\n net/mlx5: add meter statistics read and update\n net/mlx5: add meter attach and detach\n net/mlx5: support meter flow action\n net/mlx5: split meter flow\n net/mlx5: share tag between meter and metadata\n net/mlx5: clean meter resources\n\n drivers/net/mlx5/Makefile | 7 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/meson.build | 3 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.c | 29 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.h | 46 ++\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_devx_cmds.c | 23 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.c | 617 +++++++++++++++--\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.h | 153 ++++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_dv.c | 612 +++++++++++++++++\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_meter.c | 1283 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_glue.c | 30 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_glue.h | 9 +\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_prm.h | 45 ++\n 12 files changed, 2804 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_meter.c" }
