-Flow director support
----------------------
-
-Advanced filtering support was added to 1300 series VIC firmware starting
-with version 2.0.13 for C-series UCS servers and version 3.1.2 for UCSM
-managed blade servers. In order to enable advanced filtering the 'Advanced
-filter' radio button should be enabled via CIMC or UCSM followed by a reboot
-of the server.
-
-With advanced filters, perfect matching of all fields of IPv4, IPv6 headers
-as well as TCP, UDP and SCTP L4 headers is available through flow director.
-Masking of these fields for partial match is also supported.
-
-Without advanced filter support, the flow director is limited to IPv4
-perfect filtering of the 5-tuple with no masking of fields supported.

SR-IOV mode utilization

Generic Flow API support
------------------------
-Generic Flow API is supported. The baseline support is:
+Generic Flow API (also called "rte_flow" API) is supported. More advanced
+capabilities are available when "Advanced Filtering" is enabled on the adapter.
+Advanced filtering was added to 1300 series VIC firmware starting with version
+2.0.13 for C-series UCS servers and version 3.1.2 for UCSM managed blade
+servers. Advanced filtering is available on 1400 series adapters and beyond.
+To enable advanced filtering, the 'Advanced filter' radio button should be
+selected via CIMC or UCSM followed by a reboot of the server.
- **1200 series VICs**
- Selectors: 'is', 'spec' and 'mask'. 'last' is not supported
- In total, up to 64 bytes of mask is allowed across all headers
+- **1400 and later series VICs with Flow Manager API enabled**
+
+ - Attributes: ingress, egress
+ - Items: eth, vlan, ipv4, ipv6, sctp, udp, tcp, vxlan, raw, inner eth, vlan, ipv4, ipv6, sctp, udp, tcp
+ - Ingress Actions: count, drop, flag, jump, mark, port_id, passthru, queue, rss, vxlan_decap, vxlan_encap, and void
+ - Egress Actions: count, drop, jump, passthru, vxlan_encap, and void
+ - Selectors: 'is', 'spec' and 'mask'. 'last' is not supported
+ - In total, up to 64 bytes of mask is allowed across all headers
+
The VIC performs packet matching after applying VLAN strip. If VLAN
stripping is enabled, EtherType in the ETH item corresponds to the
stripped VLAN header's EtherType. Stripping does not affect the VLAN
the current NIC has a single VXLAN port number, the user cannot
configure multiple port numbers.
+Geneve headers with non-zero options are not supported by default. To
+use Geneve with options, update the VIC firmware to the latest version
+and then set ``devargs`` parameter ``geneve-opt=1``. When Geneve with
+options is enabled, flow API cannot be used as the features are
+currently mutually exclusive. When this feature is successfully
+enabled, PMD prints the following message.
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ Geneve with options is enabled
