  A new, faster, queue-based flow rules management mechanism is needed for
applications offloading rules inside the datapath. This asynchronous
and lockless mechanism frees the CPU for further packet processing and
reduces the performance impact of the flow rules creation/destruction
on the datapath. Note that queues are not thread-safe and the queue
should be accessed from the same thread for all queue operations.
It is the responsibility of the app to sync the queue functions in case
of multi-threaded access to the same queue.

The rte_flow_q_flow_create() function enqueues a flow creation to the
requested queue. It benefits from already configured resources and sets
unique values on top of item and action templates. A flow rule is enqueued
on the specified flow queue and offloaded asynchronously to the hardware.
The function returns immediately to spare CPU for further packet
processing. The application must invoke the rte_flow_q_dequeue() function
to complete the flow rule operation offloading, to clear the queue, and to
receive the operation status. The rte_flow_q_flow_destroy() function
enqueues a flow destruction to the requested queue.

+Asynchronous operations
+-----------------------
+
+Flow rules creation/destruction can be done by using lockless flow queues.
+An application configures the number of queues during the initialization stage.
+Then create/destroy operations are enqueued without any locks asynchronously.
+By adopting an asynchronous queue-based approach, the packet processing can
+continue with handling next packets while insertion/destruction of a flow rule
+is processed inside the hardware. The application is expected to poll for
+results later to see if the flow rule is successfully inserted/destroyed.
+User data is returned as part of the result to identify the enqueued operation.
+Polling must be done before the queue is overflowed or periodically.
+Operations can be reordered inside a queue, so the result of the rule creation
+needs to be polled first before enqueueing the destroy operation for the rule.
+Flow handle is valid once the create operation is enqueued and must be
+destroyed even if the operation is not successful and the rule is not inserted.
+
+The asynchronous flow rule insertion logic can be broken into two phases.
+
+1. Initialization stage as shown here:
+
+.. _figure_rte_flow_q_init:
+
+.. figure:: img/rte_flow_q_init.*
+
+2. Main loop as presented on a datapath application example:
+
+.. _figure_rte_flow_q_usage:
+
+.. figure:: img/rte_flow_q_usage.*
+
+Enqueue creation operation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Enqueueing a flow rule creation operation is similar to simple creation.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct rte_flow *
+	rte_flow_q_flow_create(uint16_t port_id,
+				uint32_t queue_id,
+				const struct rte_flow_q_ops_attr *q_ops_attr,
+				struct rte_flow_table *table,
+				const struct rte_flow_item items[],
+				uint8_t item_template_index,
+				const struct rte_flow_action actions[],
+				uint8_t action_template_index,
+				struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+A valid handle in case of success is returned. It must be destroyed later
+by calling ``rte_flow_q_flow_destroy()`` even if the rule is rejected by HW.
+
+Enqueue destruction operation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Enqueueing a flow rule destruction operation is similar to simple destruction.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	int
+	rte_flow_q_flow_destroy(uint16_t port_id,
+				uint32_t queue_id,
+				const struct rte_flow_q_ops_attr *q_ops_attr,
+				struct rte_flow *flow,
+				struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+Drain a queue
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Function to drain the queue and push all internally stored rules to the NIC.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	int
+	rte_flow_q_drain(uint16_t port_id,
+			uint32_t queue_id,
+			struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+There is the drain attribute in the queue operation attributes.
+When set, the requested operation must be sent to the HW without any delay.
+If not, multiple operations can be bulked together and not sent to HW right
+away to save SW/HW interactions and prioritize throughput over latency.
+The application must invoke this function to actually push all outstanding
+operations to HW in the latter case.
+
+Dequeue operations
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Dequeue rte flow operations.
+
+The application must invoke this function in order to complete the asynchronous
+flow rule operation and to receive the flow rule operation status.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	int
+	rte_flow_q_dequeue(uint16_t port_id,
+			uint32_t queue_id,
+			struct rte_flow_q_op_res res[],
+			uint16_t n_res,
+			struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+Multiple outstanding operations can be dequeued simultaneously.
+User data may be provided during a flow creation/destruction in order
+to distinguish between multiple operations. User data is returned as part
+of the result to provide a method to detect which operation is completed.
+
+Enqueue indirect action creation operation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Asynchronous version of indirect action creation API.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct rte_flow_action_handle *
+	rte_flow_q_action_handle_create(uint16_t port_id,
+			uint32_t queue_id,
+			const struct rte_flow_q_ops_attr *q_ops_attr,
+			const struct rte_flow_indir_action_conf *indir_action_conf,
+			const struct rte_flow_action *action,
+			struct rte_flow_error *error);
+
+A valid handle in case of success is returned. It must be destroyed later by
+calling ``rte_flow_q_action_handle_destroy()`` even if the rule is rejected.
+
