NAME¶
mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat - Flow action reformat packet for mlx5 provider
SYNOPSIS¶
-
#include <infiniband/mlx5dv.h> struct ibv_flow_action * mlx5dv_create_flow_action_packet_reformat(struct ibv_context *ctx,
size_t data_sz,
void *data,
enum mlx5dv_flow_action_packet_reformat_type reformat_type,
enum mlx5dv_flow_table_type ft_type)
DESCRIPTION¶
Create a packet reformat flow steering action. It allows adding/removing packet headers.
ARGUMENTS¶
-
RDMA device context to create the action on.
-
The size of *data* buffer.
-
A buffer which contains headers in case the actions requires them.
-
The reformat type to be create. Use enum mlx5dv_flow_action_packet_reformat_type.
MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_PACKET_REFORMAT_TYPE_L2_TUNNEL_TO_L2: Decap a generic L2 tunneled packet up to inner L2.
MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_PACKET_REFORMAT_TYPE_L2_TO_L2_TUNNEL: Generic encap, data should contain the encapsulating headers.
MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_PACKET_REFORMAT_TYPE_L3_TUNNEL_TO_L2: Will do decap where the inner packet starts from L3. data should be MAC or MAC + vlan (14 or 18 bytes) to be appended to the packet after the decap action.
MLX5DV_FLOW_ACTION_PACKET_REFORMAT_TYPE_L2_TO_L3_TUNNEL: Will do encap where is L2 of the original packet will not be included. data should be the encapsulating header.
-
It defines the flow table type to which the packet reformat action
