app/testpmd: update modify field flow action support
The testpmd flow create command updates provided:
- modify field action supports the updated actions
- pointer type added for action source field
- pointer and value source field takes hex string
instead of unsigned int in host endianness
There are some examples of flow with update modified
field action:
1. IPv6 destination address bytes 4-7 assignment:
0000::1111 - > 0000:xxxx:4455:6677::1111
flow create 0 egress group 1
pattern eth / ipv6 dst is 0000::1111 / udp / end
actions modify_field op set
dst_type ipv6_dst
dst_offset 32
src_type value
src_value
0011223344556677
width 32 / end
2. Copy second byte of IPv4 destination address to the
third byte of source address:
10.0.118.4 -> 192.168.100.1
10.0.168.4 -> 192.168.100.1
flow create 0 egress group 1
pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
actions modify_field op set
dst_type ipv4_src
dst_offset 16
src_type ipv4_dst
src_offset 8
width 8 / end
3. Assign METADATA value with
11223344 value from the
hex string in the linear buffer. Please note, the value
definition should follow host-endian, example is given
for x86 (little-endian):
flow create 0 egress group 1
pattern eth / ipv4 / end
actions modify_field op set
dst_type meta
src_type pointer
src_ptr
44332211
width 32 / end
4. Assign destination MAC with EA:11:0B:AD:0B:ED value:
flow create 0 egress group 1
pattern eth / end
actions modify_field op set
dst_type mac_dst
src_type value
src_value
EA110BAD0BED
width 48 / end
