Subject: [PATCH 12/22] ethdev: promote flex item API to stable
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2026 13:23:11 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901203217.1485915-13-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901203217.1485915-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
rte_flow_flex_item_create() and rte_flow_flex_item_release() were
added in v21.11 to let applications describe vendor specific or
otherwise unsupported protocol headers for matching. Both are
unchanged since.
