Hardware flowtable offload from multiple tables?

Hardware flowtable offload from multiple tables?

Hi all,

Please CC me on replies as I'm not subscribed to the list.

I've been trying to get hardware flowtable offload going on a ConnectX-6 DX
card. I have managed to create the flowtable (needed to create a SF interface
and apply the flowtable to that - using the PF directly does not work).

However, it seems that a device can only be referenced from one flowtable,
and the scope of the flowtable is only the current table. So if I have separate
`ip` and `ip6` table types, I can't do hardware flowtable offload from both. Is
my understanding correct? Are there any workarounds (other than changing
everything over to a combined `inet` table) available?

I can create either an `ip` or `ip6` table with offloaded flowtable, but doing
both gives "Device or resource busy" error: 
```
david@vyos01:~$ sudo nft add 'table ip test  { flowtable fttest { hook ingress priority 0; devices =  { en1f0pf1sf88 }; flags offload; }; }'
david@vyos01:~$ 
david@vyos01:~$ sudo nft add 'table ip6 test  { flowtable fttest { hook ingress priority 0; devices =  { en1f0pf1sf88 }; flags offload; }; }'
Error: Could not process rule: Device or resource busy
add table ip6 test  { flowtable fttest { hook ingress priority 0; devices =  { en1f0pf1sf88 }; flags offload; }; }
                                ^^^^^^
```

Thanks,
Davíð
