mlx5dr_action is a generally used data structure, and there is an union for different types of actions in it. The size of mlx5dr_action is about 72 bytes, but for those actions with fewer fields, most of the allocated memory is wasted. Remove this union, and mlx5dr_action becomes a generic action header. Then actions are dynamically allocated with needed memory, the data for each action is stored right after the header.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
