Proposing to replace protocol header fields in the ``rte_flow_item_*``
structures with the protocol structs, like:
Current ``struct rte_flow_item_eth``,
struct rte_flow_item_eth {
struct rte_ether_addr dst;
struct rte_ether_addr src;
rte_be16_t type;
uint32_t has_vlan:1;
uint32_t reserved:31;
}
will become
struct rte_flow_item_eth {
struct rte_ether_hdr hdr;
uint32_t has_vlan:1;
uint32_t reserved:31;
}
This is both for documenting the intention and to be sure
``rte_flow_item_*`` always starts with complete protocol header.
Already many ``rte_flow_item_*`` structs implemented to have protocol
struct, target is convert all to this usage.

This is both for documenting the intention and to be sure ``rte_flow_item_*`` always starts with complete protocol header. Change will be done in two steps, at first step in v21.02 release, protocol header struct will be added as union, for example: Current ``struct rte_flow_item_eth``, struct rte_flow_item_eth { struct rte_ether_addr dst; struct rte_ether_addr src; rte_be16_t type; uint32_t has_vlan:1; uint32_t reserved:31; } will become in v21.02: __extension__ struct rte_flow_item_eth { union { struct { struct rte_ether_addr dst; struct rte_ether_addr src; rte_be16_t type; }; struct rte_ether_hdr hdr; }; uint32_t has_vlan:1; uint32_t reserved:31; } After this point usage should switch to 'hdr' struct. And in the second step, in the v21.11 LTS release the protocol fields will be removed, and the struct will become: struct rte_flow_item_eth { struct rte_ether_hdr hdr; uint32_t has_vlan:1; uint32_t reserved:31; } Already many ``rte_flow_item_*`` structures implemented to have protocol struct, target is convert all to this usage.
