[v2,6/6] examples/flow_filtering: utilize shared RSS action
Checks
Commit Message
This commit gives very first shared RSS action usage example and
demonstrates shared action capability for in-place update.
First application creates shared action during initialization phase.
Later on the flow object created by application uses previously created
shared RSS action with 1 queue configured instead of queue action in
original application.
On each RX queue burst shared RSS action reconfigured via
rte_flow_shared_action_update() API to switch queue 0 to 1 & 1 to 0.
User supposed to observe consistent queue switches on each packet burst.

What if PMD does not support a shared context, Then this application
fails to run?
if so, have a mode or probe the capability(if capability present then
switches to new mode else fall back to old mode) before changing the
application behavior.

Hi, Jerin and Ferruh
First of all it's decided to postpone this effort to 20.11.
@jerinj@marvell.com I sincerely believe we can work out great API for
- shared action, context
- action update / modification / replacement
after 20.08 without time pressure & stress.
I'm fully committed and will continue to work on this PATCH.
I'll resend improved version of this patch once 20.08 is out & we will
continue our discussion from here to make it even better.
Many thanks to all participants of this discussion,
Andrey

I don't think you should wait 20.08 (one month) to progress.
Ideally, it should be ready to be merged in the first day of 20.11 cycle.
Please add the feature in the release notes (even in 20.08 one
in the meantime).
