From 08ed3c0876621532bc648adaf83da4d6c5eb052d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ori Kam Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 11:57:54 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce moving ethdev actions to general modify Currently there is a dedicated modify action for each packet field that the application wants to change. For example: RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_DST to modify destination of IPv4. A new action RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MODIFY_FIELD added the ability to use the same action to modify any field, in addition to be able to modify the value based on different field and not just immediate value.
