From: Dekel Peled Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 14:05:57 +0000 (+0300) Subject: net/mlx5: enforce limitation on IPv6 next protocol X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=491757372f98acbc6aa346730a55ed4cd2bfd676;p=dpdk.git net/mlx5: enforce limitation on IPv6 next protocol Due to PRM requirement, the IPv6 header item 'proto' field, indicating the next header protocol, should not be set as extension header. This patch adds the relevant validation, and documents the limitation.
