Commit Message

Alexander Kozyrev May 18, 2023, 7:49 p.m. UTC
  Introduce the new rte_flow_update() API allowing users
to update the action list in the already existing rule.
Flow rules can be updated now without the need to destroy
the rule first and create a new one instead.
A single API call ensures that no packets are lost by
guaranteeing atomicity and flow state correctness.
The rte_flow_async_update() is added as well.
The matcher is not updated, only the action list is.
