The generic modify field flow action introduced in [1] has
some issues related to the immediate source operand:
- immediate source can be presented either as an unsigned
64-bit integer or pointer to data pattern in memory.
There was no explicit pointer field defined in the union.
- the byte ordering for 64-bit integer was not specified.
Many fields have shorter lengths and byte ordering
is crucial.
- how the bit offset is applied to the immediate source
field was not defined and documented.
- 64-bit integer size is not enough to provide IPv6
addresses.
In order to cover the issues and exclude any ambiguities
the following is done:
- introduce the explicit pointer field
in rte_flow_action_modify_data structure
- replace the 64-bit unsigned integer with 16-byte array
- update the modify field flow action documentation
Appropriate deprecation notice has been removed.
