[PATCH net-next V2 05/13] net/mlx5e: psp: Move RX marker from ft_metadata to flow_tag

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-kselftest,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-rdma,org.kernel.vger.netdev
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: Cosmin Ratiu <[email protected]>

Move PSP RX marker from ft_metadata (set via modify_hdr action) to
flow_tag (set via flow_context). This frees ft_metadata for storing
SPI for future decapsulated PSP packets.

All mlx5e accel protos have to move to avoid misinterpreting packets
with high bits of ft_metadata as IPsec or Macsec. This patch is the
first step, defining a new header, bit layout and macros.
