From: Ori Kam Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2018 23:17:54 +0000 (+0000) Subject: net/mlx5: add runtime parameter to enable Direct Verbs X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=51e72d386c99;p=dpdk.git net/mlx5: add runtime parameter to enable Direct Verbs DV flow API is based on new kernel API and is missing some functionality like counter but add other functionality like encap. In order not to affect current users even if the kernel supports the new DV API it should be enabled only manually.
