Matches 32 bit metadata item set.
On egress, metadata can be set either by mbuf metadata field with
-PKT_TX_METADATA flag or ``SET_META`` action. On ingress, ``SET_META``
+PKT_TX_DYNF_METADATA flag or ``SET_META`` action. On ingress, ``SET_META``
action sets metadata for a packet and the metadata will be reported via
``metadata`` dynamic field of ``rte_mbuf`` with PKT_RX_DYNF_METADATA flag.
the latter case, ``type`` refers to that of the outer header, with the inner
EtherType/TPID provided by the subsequent pattern item. This is the same
order as on the wire.
+If the ``type`` field contains a TPID value, then only tagged packets with the
+specified TPID will match the pattern.
+Otherwise, only untagged packets will match the pattern.
+If the ``ETH`` item is the only item in the pattern, and the ``type`` field is
+not specified, then both tagged and untagged packets will match the pattern.
- ``dst``: destination MAC.
- ``src``: source MAC.
The corresponding standard outer EtherType (TPID) values are
``RTE_ETHER_TYPE_VLAN`` or ``RTE_ETHER_TYPE_QINQ``. It can be overridden by the
preceding pattern item.
+If a ``VLAN`` item is present in the pattern, then only tagged packets will
+match the pattern.
- ``tci``: tag control information.
- ``inner_type``: inner EtherType or TPID.
- Default ``mask`` matches classification and vlan.
+Item: ``L2TPV3OIP``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches a L2TPv3 over IP header.
+
+- ``session_id``: L2TPv3 over IP session identifier.
+- Default ``mask`` matches session_id only.
+
+Item: ``PFCP``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches a PFCP Header.
+
+- ``s_field``: S field.
+- ``msg_type``: message type.
+- ``msg_len``: message length.
+- ``seid``: session endpoint identifier.
+- Default ``mask`` matches s_field and seid.
+
+Item: ``ECPRI``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Matches a eCPRI header.
+
+- ``hdr``: eCPRI header definition (``rte_ecpri.h``).
+- Default ``mask`` matches nothing, for all eCPRI messages.

The shared flag indicates whether the counter is unique to the flow rule the
action is specified with, or whether it is a shared counter.
-For a count action with the shared flag set, then then a global device

namespace is assumed for the counter id, so that any matched flow rules using
a count action with the same counter id on the same port will contribute to
that counter.
on the flow rule, may result in anything ranging from empty (single queue)
to all-inclusive RSS.
+If non-applicable for matching packets RSS types are requested,
+these RSS types are simply ignored. For example, it happens if:
+
+- Hashing of both TCP and UDP ports is requested
+ (only one can be present in a packet).
+
+- Requested RSS types contradict to flow rule pattern
+ (e.g. pattern has UDP item, but RSS types contain TCP).
+
+If requested RSS hash types are not supported by the Ethernet device at all
+(not reported in ``dev_info.flow_tpe_rss_offloads``),
+the flow creation will fail.
+
Note: RSS hash result is stored in the ``hash.rss`` mbuf field which
overlaps ``hash.fdir.lo``. Since `Action: MARK`_ sets the ``hash.fdir.hi``
field only, both can be requested simultaneously.
Set metadata. Item ``META`` matches metadata.
