    "content": "rte_flow_copy() is bound to duplicate flow rule descriptions (attributes,\npattern and list of actions, all at once), however applications sometimes\nneed more flexibility, for instance the ability to duplicate only one of\nthe underlying objects (a single pattern item or action) or retrieve other\nproperties such as their names.\n\nInstead of adding dedicated functions to handle each possible use case,\nthis patch introduces rte_flow_conv(), which supports any number of object\nconversion operations in an extensible manner.\n\nThis patch re-implements rte_flow_copy() as a wrapper to rte_flow_conv().\n\nSigned-off-by: Adrien Mazarguil <adrien.mazarguil@6wind.com>\nCc: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>\nCc: Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>\nCc: Andrew Rybchenko <arybchenko@solarflare.com>\nCc: Gaetan Rivet <gaetan.rivet@6wind.com>\n--\nv3 changes:\n\n- Worked around compilation issue on ARM where rte_memcpy() is a macro that\n  chokes on commas.\n\n- Marked rte_flow_conv() as experimental.\n\nv2 changes:\n\n- Modified patch to keep rte_flow_copy() around instead of removing it\n  entirely. Reworded commit log accordingly.\n\n- Moved failsafe PMD changes to a subsequent patch.\n\n- Re-implemented rte_flow_copy() as a wrapper to rte_flow_conv() to reduce\n  code duplication.\n\n- Tweaked semantics of rte_flow_conv() to return the required number of\n  bytes regardless of the size parameter; a buffer not large enough is not\n  considered to be an error anymore. This change removes the need for a\n  \"store\" pass in underlying helper functions.\n\n- Renamed and properly documented internal helper functions.\n---\n doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst       |  19 +\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev_version.map |   1 +\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_flow.c             | 553 ++++++++++++++++++--------\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_flow.h             | 170 +++++++-\n 4 files changed, 582 insertions(+), 161 deletions(-)",
