Flex-bytes allows for packet matching based on an offset and value. This is supported via the ethtool user-def option. The user-def 0xAAAABBBBCCCCDDDD: BBBB is the 2 byte pattern while AAAA corresponds to its offset in the packet. Similarly DDDD is the 2 byte pattern with CCCC being the corresponding offset. The offset ranges from 0x0 to 0x1F7 (up to 504 bytes into the packet). The offset starts from the beginning of the packet. This feature can be used to allow customers to set flow director rules for protocols headers that are beyond standard ones supported by ethtool (e.g. PFCP or GTP-U).

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.
