Why not defining only 1 structure?
struct rte_eth_ipv4_flow {
uint32_t src_ip;
uint32_t dst_ip;
uint16_t src_port;
uint16_t dst_port;
uint32_t sctp_tag;
};
I think the same structure could be used for many filters (not only
flow director).

Flexword should be explained.

I don't understand the logic behind flow/flow_ext.
Why flow_ext is not merged into flow ?

The names and explanations are cryptics.
Is FD redundant with FDIR?

Should the application handle the id numbering?

It's really a hard job to define a clear and easy to use API.
It would be really interesting to have more people involved in this discussion.
Thanks

Yes, one structure can contain all the elements we need, but I think it will be clearer that each kind of flow type has its key words.

The flexword means the application can choose a part of packet's payload as key words to compare match. It is flexible. In Ixgbe, the flexwords is 1 word (2 bytes), while Fortville extend it to 8 words.

The flow defines the key words for each flow_type, while the flow_ext has other elements which have little to do with flow_type. For example the flexword, dst_id (can used as pool id), I think it is not reasonable to make it as an element in the flow.

The enum defines what will be reported when FIR match. Can be FD_ID or flex bytes

Yes, good point. Will remove FD.

When FD match happened, the counter will increase. Fortville can support to configure the different counter for filter entries. The action is a part of a filter entry, so this element means which counter the entry will use.

Just as mentioned above, Fortville can support 8 flex words comparing. But for reporting, only 4 or 8 bytes in the flex words can be reported. So need to specify the offset to choose the 4 or 8 bytes.

Yes, the soft_id is just id, is also reported id when entry match. The id is specified by user, and can be used to identify this entry, application should handle it.

OK. The problem is that I don't know how to fill the flexwords bytes.
You should explain it in the doxygen comment.
You say it's flexible. Is it usable with a non-IP packet?
Please explain constraints and syntax.

Sorry, I don't understand.
flow and flow_ext are associated with a flow type.
The comments are "specific flow structure" and "specific flow info" which
doesn't bring any useful information.

Just to be sure, have you understood that I'm requesting more explanations
in the comments to allow users of your API to understand it?

Which counter?
Which value should be set in cnt_idx?

I perfectly understand that you are writing some code to allow usage of
Fortville features through DPDK. Thank you for bringing new features.
But I want to know if I'm allowed to use it without reading the Fortville datasheet?
And could this API be shared by other hardwares (e.g. ixgbe)?

I don't even know what are the meaning of these 4 or 8 bytes.
Please don't consider that every DPDK user know the Fortville datasheet.

OK, so explain it in comments.
Or better, generate and return the id when creating a filter.

Take an example like: flow_type is IPV4, and the key words in IP is supposed
to be dst_ip and src_ip. Other fields like dst_id has little to do with IPV4.

A hardware counter provided in Fortville. It supposed that the user know about
the hardware, or just set to 0 if don't specify a counter, a default counter will be
used for all entries. I will add more comments.

Yes, you can. But for same extended functions, need more explanation.
You are correct, I need to add more explanation.

Yes, I also considered about it during design. And the integrating ixgbe's flow
director to the API is ready. I plan to send another patch for it when
this patch set is applied.

Additional, these 4 or 8 bytes are a part of the 8 flex words.
