    "content": "Currently, the flow meter policy does not support multiple actions\nper color; also the allowed action types per color are very limited.\nIn addition, the policy cannot be pre-defined.\n\nDue to the growing in flow actions offload abilities there is a potential\nfor the user to use variety of actions per color differently.\nThis new meter policy API comes to allow this potential in the most ethdev\ncommon way using rte_flow action definition.\nA list of rte_flow actions will be provided by the user per color\nin order to create a meter policy.\nIn addition, the API forces to pre-define the policy before\nthe meters creation in order to allow sharing of single policy\nwith multiple meters efficiently.\n\nmeter_policy_id is added into struct rte_mtr_params.\nSo that it can get the policy during the meters creation.\n\nAdd two common policy template as macros in the header file,\n\nRFC (\"ethdev: add pre-defined meter policy API\")\nhttps://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210318085815.804896-1-lizh@nvidia.com/\n\nDepends-on: series=16351  (\"Add ASO meter support in MLX5 PMD \")\nhttps://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=16351\n\nV2: Delete default policy and change relation doc files.\nV3: Fix coding style issues.\nV4: Fix comments about Depends-on\nV5: Fix comments about rte_mtr_meter_policy_add.\nV6: Delete policy example.\nV7: Fix comments and place two common policy template as macros.\nV8: Fix rebase conflict issues and CI warning\nV9: Rebase and Fix the comments for softnic driver.\n\nHaifei Luo (1):\n  app/testpmd: support policy actions per color\n\nLi Zhang (1):\n  ethdev: add pre-defined meter policy API\n\n app/test-flow-perf/main.c                          |   7 -\n app/test-pmd/cmdline.c                             |  14 +-\n app/test-pmd/cmdline_flow.c                        | 118 +++++-\n app/test-pmd/cmdline_mtr.c                         | 257 ++++--------\n app/test-pmd/cmdline_mtr.h                         |   4 +-\n app/test-pmd/config.c                              |  32 ++\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.h                             |   2 +\n doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst                 |  21 +\n .../prog_guide/traffic_metering_and_policing.rst   |  16 +-\n doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_05.rst             |  21 +\n doc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst        |  48 ++-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5.h                            |  24 +-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.c                       |  46 --\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow.h                       |  18 +-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_aso.c                   |   8 +-\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_dv.c                    | 461 +--------------------\n drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_meter.c                 | 369 +----------------\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_flow.c         |  19 +-\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_internals.h    |  18 +-\n drivers/net/softnic/rte_eth_softnic_meter.c        | 297 ++++++++++---\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_flow.h                       |  22 +\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_mtr.c                        |  55 ++-\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_mtr.h                        | 223 +++++++---\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_mtr_driver.h                 |  44 +-\n lib/librte_ethdev/version.map                      |   5 +-\n 25 files changed, 879 insertions(+), 1270 deletions(-)"
