Hi Doug,

The flow tag feature allows an application to request to add an action
to tag all the packets that matches this rule.

The tag is a number that will came as a metadata with every packet in
the CQE.

The tag rule == 0 is chosen as the default tag and application can use
it in order to avoid the need to classify the packets that came with a
tag while continuing to benefit from this tag mechanism.

struct definition:

struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_action_tag {
     union {
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_hdr hdr;
          struct {
              __u32 type;
              __u16 size;
              __u16 reserved;
          };
     };
     __be32                   tag_id;
     __u32                    reserved1;
};

struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec {
     union {
          union {
              struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_hdr hdr;
              struct {
                   __u32 type;
                   __u16 size;
                   __u16 reserved;
              };
          };
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_eth     eth;
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_ipv4    ipv4;
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_tcp_udp tcp_udp;
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_ipv6    ipv6;
          struct ib_uverbs_flow_spec_action_tag flow_tag;
     };
};

Where:

* type, size, reserved fields are identical to the rest of the
* protocols,
   and are used to identify the spec.
* flow_tag is a spec of type 'action'
* the ib_uverbs_flow_spec_hdr is identical to the rest of the specs.
* tag_id - is the value of the stream defined by the specs.

Thanks,
	Moses

Doug,
I used this opportunity and fixed parse_flow_attr(..) return values.
Adjusting this fix to this series minimizes chances of possible merge
conflicts between different series.

This patchset was generated against commit
f502d834950a ("net/mlx5: Activate support for 4K UARs") and it applies
cleanly on k.o/for-4.11 branch.

Available in the "topic/flow-tag" topic branch of this git repo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/leon/linux-rdma.git
