From 2ba49b5f37212ee2ae509880abd1d137069b8f05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ori Kam Date: Tue, 3 Aug 2021 11:57:53 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] doc: announce change to ethdev modify action data In the current implementation, the action rte_flow_action_modify_field is not well defined for fields larger than 64 bits (for example IPv6 source) In addition, the byte order is also not well defined. Both of those issue should be fixed.
