Previously, it was sized similarly (25,884 B), it was just spread out over many globally defined arrays. The ~500 byte increase comes from new *_cache arrays (raw_encap_conf_cache, raw_decap_conf_cache, etc.). In the original testpmd, external code accessed global arrays directly (e.g., raw_encap_confs[idx].data). The library provides accessor APIs like rte_flow_parser_raw_encap_conf_get() that return const struct rte_flow_action_raw_encap *. Since this API returns a pointer to a properly-typed action struct (not just raw data), the library needs storage for these structs.
