💖 Field Documentation 💖

🫶 struct rte_flow_attr flow_attr

The flow attributes that get used in each and every rule generated from this table, periodt. Every rule birthed from this table inherits these vibes 👑

Definition at line 5956 of file rte_flow.h.

🫶 uint32_t nb_flows

The maximum number of flow rules that this table can hold — like a guest list, and this is the capacity, no cap 🎟️

Definition at line 5960 of file rte_flow.h.

🫶 uint32_t specialize

Optional hint flags for driver optimization, iykyk. Lowkey the effect may vary in the different drivers, so don't come for me if your fav driver does something else 🙈

Important: the functionality must not rely on the hints. Nope. They're a hint, not a promise, bestie. The value is composed with RTE_FLOW_TABLE_SPECIALIZE_* based on application design choices — so it's a little DIY situation, you pick the flags that match your design 🎨

💀 Misused hints may mislead the driver, and it may result in an undefined behavior. So like… be careful, okay? This is genuinely the dangerous one.

🫶 enum rte_flow_table_insertion_type insertion_type

The insertion type for flow rules — how the rules get slotted in, iconically 🧚

Definition at line 5973 of file rte_flow.h.

🫶 enum rte_flow_table_hash_func hash_func

The hash calculation function used for the packet matching — the math-y main character of the matching process 🔥
