Hi i want to change rte_mbuf struct and add some custom struct to it but
when i change it and compile again some error related to this line shows up.
RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON(sizeof(struct rte_mbuf) > OCTEONTX_FPAVF_BUF_OFFSET);
What is the correct way to add struct to rte_mbuf ?
thanks.

The correct way is not to add anything to rte_mbuf :-).
If your application needs some private space per mbuf, you should
instead embed the rte_mbuf struct into a structure of yours.
Create a mempool with a private size accounting for this and make sure
to init this private space per object.

Also after 20.11 use the dynamic field support

You should use dynamic fields instead
