[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix metadata endianness in modify field action

[Viacheslav Ovsiienko]

As modify field action immediate source parameter the metadata
should follow the CPU endianness (according to SET_META action
structure format), and mlx5 PMD wrongly handled the immediate
parameter metadata buffer as big-endian, resulting in wrong
metadata set action with incorrect endianness.

Hi Viacheslav,

Is removing (unused) 'shift' variable related to the problem mentioned
in the commit log?

Only below "meta = rte_cpu_to_be_32(meta);" change block seems fixing
the issue and rest is cleanup, if that is the case can you please split
the patch?

Related indirectly to metadata, but not directly to the issue. 
"shift" is unused leftover after changing immediate value format.
And this patch just provides collateral cleanup. Do you think we should
separate into dedicated cleanup patch? Or mention this cleanup in commit
message?

With best regards,
Slava

if not directly related I think better to split on its own patch, this
makes it more clear to possible future references to the patches.

[PATCH v2 1/2] net/mlx5: fix metadata endianness in modify field action

As modify field action immediate source parameter the metadata
should follow the CPU endianness (according to SET_META action

parameter metadata buffer as big-endian, resulting in wrong
metadata set action with incorrect endianness.
