I am sorry, Based on my understanding it is not addressing API sequence query[1]

ie.

Otherway to ask is, Could you have share the API call sequence using
"rte_flow_shared_action_update(uint16_port port, rte_shared_ctx *ctx,
rte_flow_action *action, error)"

to enable support for the following category of HW as I mentioned earlier.
- The HW has "pattern" and "action" mapped to different HW objects and
action can be updated any time without destroying and create.(a,k,a
Does not have shared HW object)
