VXLAN decap in OVS-DPDK configuration consists of two flows: F1: in_port(ens1f0),eth(),ipv4(),udp(), actions:tnl_pop(vxlan_sys_4789) F2: tunnel(),in_port(vxlan_sys_4789),eth(),ipv4(), actions:ens1f0_0
F1 is a classification flow. It has outer headers matches and it classifies the packet as a VXLAN packet, and using tnl_pop action the packet continues processing in F2. F2 is a flow that has matches on tunnel metadata as well as on the inner packet headers (as any other flow). In order to fully offload VXLAN decap path, both F1 and F2 should be offloaded. As there are more than one flow in HW, it is possible that F1 is done by HW but F2 is not. Packet is received by SW, and should be processed starting from F2 as F1 was already done by HW. Rte_flows are applicable only on physical port IDs. Vport flows (e.g. F2) are applied on uplink ports attached to OVS. This patch-set makes use of [1] introduced in DPDK 20.11, that adds API for tunnel offloads, and based on top of [2] and [3]. It is posted as an RFC until they are merged.
