This uapi thing still needs to be fixed as I pointed out before.
In V3 we can go with below, no change in memory layout but it can clarify
the code/usage.
struct mlx5_ib_flow_counters_desc {
__u32 description;
__u32 index;
};
struct mlx5_ib_flow_counters_data {
RDMA_UAPI_PTR(struct mlx5_ib_flow_counters_desc *, counters_data);
__u32 ncounters;
__u32 reserved;
};
OK, this is what I asked for originally..
struct mlx5_ib_create_flow {
__u32 ncounters_data;
__u32 reserved;
/* Following are counters data based on ncounters_data */
struct mlx5_ib_flow_counters_data data[];
I still can't figure out why this should be a 2d array.
This comes to support the future case of multiple counters objects/specs
passed with the same flow. There is a need to differentiate mapping data for
each counters object and that is done via the 'ncounters_data' field and the
2d array.
This still doesn't make any sense to me. How are these multiple
counters objects/specs going to be identified?
Basically, what does the array index for data[] mean? Should it match
the spec index from the main verb or something?
Each entry in the data[] should match a corresponding counter object
that was pointed by a counters spec upon the flow creation.
This is a good place for a comment, since the intention is completely
opaque here.
Sure, we'll add comment to clarify the above.
