The generic RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MODIFY_FIELD action was
introduced by [1]. This action provides an unified way
to perform various arithmetic and transfer operations over
packet network header fields and packet metadata.
[1] 73b68f4c54a0 ("ethdev: introduce generic modify flow action")
On other side there are a bunch of multiple legacy actions,
that can be superseded by the generic MODIFY_FIELD action:
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_MPLS_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_DEC_MPLS_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_NW_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_DEC_NW_TTL sfc
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_COPY_TTL_OUT
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_COPY_TTL_IN
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_SRC bnxt, cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_DST bnxt, cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_SRC cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_DST cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TP_SRC cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TP_DST cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TTL mlx5, sfc
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TTL mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_MAC_SRC cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_MAC_DST cxgbe, mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INC_TCP_SEQ mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TCP_SEQ mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INC_TCP_ACK mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TCP_ACK mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_DSCP mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_DSCP mlx5
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_VLAN_VID bnxt, cnxk, cxgbe, enic,

RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_VLAN_PCP bnxt, cnxk, cxgbe, enic,

This note deprecates the following RTE Flow actions,
as not supported by any of PMDs:
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_MPLS_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_DEC_MPLS_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_SET_NW_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_COPY_TTL_OUT
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_COPY_TTL_IN
The following actions are supposed to be deprecated in 22.07
and replaced by generic field modify action:
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_OF_DEC_NW_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_DST
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_DST
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TP_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TP_DST
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TTL
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_MAC_SRC
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_MAC_DST
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INC_TCP_SEQ
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TCP_SEQ
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_INC_TCP_ACK
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_DEC_TCP_ACK
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV4_DSCP
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_IPV6_DSCP
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_TAG
RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_SET_META
The VLAN set actions are interrelated to VLAN header insertion/removal
and supported by multiple PMDs and widely used by applications and
not supposed to be deprecated due to potential large impact on
drivers and applications.
