+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

+Matches 32 bit metadata item set.
+
+On egress, metadata can be set either by mbuf metadata field with
+PKT_TX_DYNF_METADATA flag or ``SET_META`` action. On ingress, ``SET_META``
+action sets metadata for a packet and the metadata will be reported via

Most of these are basically protocol header definitions with associated
bit-masks. They must be specified (stacked) from lowest to highest protocol
- ``proto_id``: PPP protocol identifier.
- Default ``mask`` matches proto_id only.

Actions
~~~~~~~
The shared flag indicates whether the counter is unique to the flow rule the
action is specified with, or whether it is a shared counter.
-For a count action with the shared flag set, then then a global device
+For a count action with the shared flag set, then a global device
namespace is assumed for the counter id, so that any matched flow rules using
a count action with the same counter id on the same port will contribute to
that counter.
| ``index`` | index of tag to set |
+-----------+----------------------------+
+Action: ``SET_META``
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Set metadata. Item ``META`` matches metadata.
+
+Metadata set by mbuf metadata field with PKT_TX_DYNF_METADATA flag on egress
+will be overridden by this action. On ingress, the metadata will be carried by
+``metadata`` dynamic field of ``rte_mbuf`` which can be accessed by
+``RTE_FLOW_DYNF_METADATA()``. PKT_RX_DYNF_METADATA flag will be set along
+with the data.
+
+The mbuf dynamic field must be registered by calling
+``rte_flow_dynf_metadata_register()`` prior to use ``SET_META`` action.
+
+Altering partial bits is supported with ``mask``. For bits which have never been
+set, unpredictable value will be seen depending on driver implementation. For
+loopback/hairpin packet, metadata set on Rx/Tx may or may not be propagated to
+the other path depending on HW capability.
