Checks
Commit Message

packets in case there is an error in the packet such as L3 checksum
error or L4 checksum.

Hi Nipun,
You adding a new offload type for network devices, it should have some more
description and relevant PMD/testpmd updates too.
But before that, is dropping faulty packets an offload or a config option for
the NIC? Or is this common for all NICs to have in ethdev?

I should have added an RFC tag in the patch. I sent this for comment for error packet drop
offload support. I will send patches after proper implementation.

We would like to have it as an offload capability, and on the basis of this capability
user can configure the Ethernet device to drop the error packets on the device itself
without providing them to the core.
Sorry I did not get your comment "Or is this common for all NICs to have in ethdev?"
Thanks,
Nipun

Could/should this be an rte_flow action as well?

Please add RTE_ prefix, even if older macros don't have it.
We could (in a separate effort) alias old ones with RTE_ prefixed names.

I feel rte_flow API is not appropriate here.
Ori, any opinion?

Agree, will update and send the change along with testpmd and dpaa2 driver change.

I also don't think this is relevant action in case of rte_flow,
If we want to support such a thing in rte_flow we should
add item that matches on error and then use the drop action.
Best,
Ori
