Hi Ivan,
No, it does not breaking testpmd or any other applications.
Yes, the structure is correct in rte_net.h and comment as well.
You can run testpmd in rxonly mode and set verbose to 3, send the following
packet from remote and you will observe the output as given below:
pkt=Ether(src="04:3f:72:f3:7a:43",dst="C8:0A:A9:04:49:1A")/IP(src="19.168.1.1",dst="19.168.1.1")/UDP(dport=4789)/VXLAN(vni=4094)/Ether(dst="22:11:11:11:11:10")/IP(dst="19.168.1.1")/UDP()

The length is 92 bytes which is correct but inner_l2_len=30 which is incorrect.
According to standard, the following calculation is true of VXLAN header (50
bytes) and VXLAN packet size(92 bytes).
50-byte VXLAN header =(14-byte outer ethernet header + 20-byte outer IP header
+ 8-byte outer UDP header + 8-byte VXLAN header )
92-bytes VXLAN packet size= (14-byte outer Ethernet header + 20-byte outer IP
header + 8-byte outer UDP header + 8-byte VXLAN header )+ (14-byte inner
Ethernet header + 20-byte inner IP header + 8-byte inner UDP)
This patch correct the inner_l2_len which is 14 bytes.
No, you're incorrectly assume that sum of all *_len fields should give
you a length of all packet headers. It is wrong assumption in accordance
with the definition of inner_l2_len which includes outer-l4-len (UDP),
tunnel header (VXLAN) and inner Ethernet header for the packet.
