🌸 Detailed Description 🌸

Okay so listen, this one is a structure, and her whole job is to contain the extended input of a flow. That's it, that's the gig. Main character energy but for extra flow info 💅

Fun fact for the lore girlies: the definition lives on line 285 of the file rte_eth_ctrl.h.

👑 Field Documentation 👑

⭐ uint8_t flexbytes[RTE_ETH_FDIR_MAX_FLEXLEN]

This one gets filled by the flexible payload so it can be matched against. So like, the payload shows up and this field is what it's matching. Slay.

Definition check: she's defined on line 287 of rte_eth_ctrl.h.

🦋 uint8_t is_vf

A lil flag moment, okay:

• 1 means VF 💜
• 0 means port dev 💙

Definition: line 289 of rte_eth_ctrl.h.

🍓 uint16_t dst_id

This is the VF ID — and here's the catch, bestie: she's only available when is_vf is 1. Like she's literally booked and busy only in that situation 🙈

Definition: line 290 of rte_eth_ctrl.h.
