DPDK with rte_flow_update

DPDK with support for rte_flow_update

This repository contains the modified DPDK with support for the new API and testing options of test-flow-perf for our upcoming PAM'21 "NIC Bench" paper.

The rte_flow_api avoids destroying and inserting rules. Internally it also reuses the parsed patterns. We implemented support for mlx5, that relies on a modified rdma-core library that similarly implements a more efficient update mechanism.

The patch also add support for testing the update vs delete+insert in the flow perf benchmark.

To compile, the MLX5 driver with support for update needs the backing API at https://github.com/nic-bench/rdma-core
