Thanks for the clarification.
We are okay to move forward with the revert.

> [Brandes, Shai] We are currently conducting tests and will provide an update shortly. In the meantime, could you advise whether it is recommended to entirely avoid using rte_memcpy in our driver, considering we have direct calls to it?
There is a long term goal to remove rte_memcpy(). It exists only as workaround for
cases where older compilers do not produce optimium code.
When rte_memcpy() is used the checks done by fortify, gcc, coverity etc are
less and there is higher probability of bugs going undetected.
My current recommendation is to only use rte_memcpy() in the data path and for
variable size data items.
