[dpdk-users] rte_flow error after upgrading

[Cliff Burdick]

Thanks, I will try that. I saw that patch, but couldn't find any working
examples with vlan. In the other layers, such as Ethernet, zeroing out the
source and dest has the effect of allowing all. However, the vlan on
mellanox cards breaks that it seems because of the IB compatibility. I
think the flow filtering example needs to be updated, since it will no
longer work on these cards. If I get it working I'll submit a PR.
