vdpa/mlx5: fix the compatibility with MISC4
Checks
Commit Message
When dynamic flex parser feature is introduced, the support for misc
parameters 4 of flow table entry (FTE) match set is needed. The
structure of "mlx5_ifc_fte_match_param_bits" is extended with
"mlx5_ifc_fte_match_set_misc4_bits" at the end of it. The total size
of the FTE match set will be changed into 384 bytes from 320 bytes.
Low level user space driver (rdma-core) will have the validation of
the length of FTE match set. In the old release that no MISC4
supported in the rdma-core, and this will break the backward
compatibility, even if the MISC4 is not used in most cases, like
in vDPA driver.
In order not to break the compatibility old rdma-core, the length
adjustment needs to be done. In mlx5 vDPA driver, the lengths of
the matcher and value are both set to 320 without MISC4. There is
no need to change the structure definition, all bytes of the MISC4
will be discarded if it is not needed. Since the MISC4 parameter
is aligned with a 64B boundary and so does the whole FTE match set
parameter, there is no need to take any padding and alignment into
consideration when calculating the size.

Please note the sha-1 in the fixes tag was not good, I fixed it.
Applied to dpdk-next-virtio/master
Thanks,
