The rte_eth_tx_burst() function returns the number of packets it actually sent. Most of PMD drivers can support the policy "send as many packets to transmit as possible" at the PMD level. but the few of PMDs have some sort of artificial limits for the pkts sent successfully. For example, VHOST tx burst size is limited to 32 packets. Some rx_burst functions have the similar problem. The main benefit is consistent batching behavior for user to simplify their logic and avoid misusage at the application level, there is unified rte_eth_tx/rx_burst interface already, there is no reason for inconsistent behaviors. This patchset fixes it via adding wrapper function at the PMD level. Changes in V3: 1. Updated release_17_05 in patch 5/5 2. Rebase on top of next net tree. i40e_rxtx_vec_altivec.c is updated in patch 2/5. 3. fix one checkpatch issue in 2/5. Changes in V2: 1. rename ixgbe, i40e and fm10k vec function XXX_xmit_pkts_vec to new name XXX_xmit_fixed_burst_vec, new wrapper functions use original name XXX_xmit_pkts_vec according to Bruce's suggestion. 2. simplify the code to avoid the if or if/else.
