[ Upstream commit 29486b6df3e6a63b57d1ed1dce06051267282ff4 ]
Add profile conflict check while adding some FDIR rules to avoid
unexpected flow behavior, rules may have conflict including:
IPv4 <---> {IPv4_UDP, IPv4_TCP, IPv4_SCTP}
IPv6 <---> {IPv6_UDP, IPv6_TCP, IPv6_SCTP}
For example, when we create an FDIR rule for IPv4, this rule will work
on packets including IPv4, IPv4_UDP, IPv4_TCP and IPv4_SCTP. But if we
then create an FDIR rule for IPv4_UDP and then destroy it, the first
FDIR rule for IPv4 cannot work on pkt IPv4_UDP then.
To prevent this unexpected behavior, we add restriction in software
when creating FDIR rules by adding necessary profile conflict check.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
