Hi,

This patchset is intended to improve the usability of the switchdev
slow path. Without matching on a metadata values slow path works
based on VF's MAC addresses. It causes a problem when the VF wants
to use more than one MAC address (e.g. when it is in trusted mode).

Parse all metadata in the same place where protocol type fields are
parsed. Add description for the currently implemented metadata. It is
important to note that depending on DDP not all described metadata can
be available. Using not available metadata leads to error returned by
function which is looking for correct words in profiles read from DDP.

There is also one small improvement, remove of rx field in rule info
structure (patch 2). It is redundant.

Michal Swiatkowski (4):
  ice: define metadata to match in switch
  ice: remove redundant Rx field from rule info
  ice: allow matching on metadata
  ice: use src VSI instead of src MAC in slow-path
