It can be set as 0 for the application like l2fwd, who are not doing buffering. However application like l3fwd, who do buffering, will definitely use it.

After going through l3fwd code, I understand, you want to reuse
segregation  logic of send_packets_multi(). So, this makes sense to
me.

We do have specialized functions for specific enqueue use case like
rte_event_enqueue_new_burst() or
rte_event_enqueue_forward_burst() to avoid any performance impact.

Since PMD agruments are same for rte_event_enqueue_burst() and
rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue()
assigning simple function pointer assignment to
rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue as dev->txa_enqueue =
dev->enqueue_burst
would have worked to have same Tx function across all platfroms
without peformance overhead.
Offcouse I understand, Slow path direct event enqueue assigment needs
different treatment.


ie in fastpath.

while (1) {
       rte_event_dequeue_burst(...);
      if (tx_stage)
        rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue()...
}

What do you say?

OK. Lets add the flag in Tx adapter so that NXP use case also
satsified with single code flow.

I would suggent to use const compiler  optimization technique for the
flags like in rte_event_dequeue_burst() so that builtin const case it
has zero overhead.

rte_event_eth_tx_adapter_enqueue(..., const uint8_t flags)
{

if (flag)
    dev->txa_enqueue_new_pmd_op(dev->data->ports[port_id], ev, nb_events, flag)
else
     dev->txa_enqueue(dev->data->ports[port_id], ev, nb_events);
}
