This patch implements missing validation logic for RSS and Connection Tracking (ConnTrack) indirect actions in the Hardware Steering (HWS) flow engine. Previously, these actions were accepted without being validated against hardware capabilities, which could lead to unexpected behavior when applying flow rules. The specialist validation functions (mlx5_hw_validate_action_rss and mlx5_hw_validate_action_conntrack) already existed but were not wired up to the indirect action handler. The signature of flow_hw_validate_action_indirect was updated to include the actions template attributes (attr), allowing it to pass the necessary traffic direction context (ingress/egress/transfer) to the underlying validation specialists. For indirect RSS, only the template attributes are validated, as the RSS configuration itself is already validated when the indirect action handle is created. Reported-by: Dariusz Sosnowski <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Rayane Boussanni <[email protected]> --- v3: - Fix segfault reported by Dariusz Sosnowski when an actions template references an indirect RSS action. v2 called mlx5_hw_validate_action_rss() on the indirect path, which dereferences action->conf as struct rte_flow_action_rss. For indirect actions action->conf is an opaque action handle, not an RSS config. Add bool is_indirect to mlx5_hw_validate_action_rss() so the indirect path validates only the template attributes (ingress/egress/transfer). drivers/net/mlx5/mlx5_flow_hw.c | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 33 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
