> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix matcher priority for esp item
> 
> ESP is one of IPSec protocols over both IPv4 and IPv6 and is considered
> a tunnel layer that cannot be followed by any other layer. Taking that
> into consideration, esp is considered as a 4 layer.
> 
> Not defining ESP's priority will make it match with the same priority as
> its prior IP layer, which has a layer 3 priority. This will lead to
> issues in matching and will match the packet with the first matching
> rule even if it doesn't have an esp layer in its pattern, disregarding
> any following rules that could have an esp item and can be actually
> a more accurate match since it will have a longer matching criterion.
> 
> This is fixed by defining the priority for the ESP item to have a
> layer 4 priority, making the match be for the rule with the more
> accurate and longer matching criteria.
