Quality of Service (QoS) is a very generous concept that includes the egress Traffic Management features such as hierarchical scheduling, traffic shaping, congestion management, etc.; the QoS concept also includes the ingress Traffic Metering and Policing.
Therefore, I think the sensible approach is:
API name (already debated on V2 thread: rte_scheddev, rte_tm, rte_tman, etc): rte_tm
Repository name: dpdk-next-qos or dpdk-next-tm (your choice)

Thanks,
Cristian
