[Wang, Yipeng] 
I guess this is mostly a wrapper of rte_rcu_qsbr_dq_parameters.
Personally, I incline to use variable names that match the existing qsbr parameters better.
For example, you could still call reclaim_thd as reclaim_limit. And _max to be _size.
Thus, people who are already familiar with qsbr can match the meanings better.

[Wang, Yipeng] To enable RCU we need to call this func.
I think you can be more explicit, e.g. "This API should be called to enable the RCU support"

[Wang, Yipeng] Is there any further requirement for when to call this API? 
E.g. you could say "this API should be called immediately after rte_hash_create()"

[Wang, Yipeng] 
Hi, Dharmik,
Thanks for the patch. It generally looks good to me. 
I guess you will revise documentation and the unit test as well after the RFC.
That is helpful for users to understand how to use hash appropriately with the RCU lib.
