I do not have any issues with adding the seqlock to DPDK.

However, I am interested in understanding the use case. As I understand, seqlock is a type of reader-writer lock. This means that it is possible that readers (data plane) may be blocked till the writer completes the updates. Does not this mean, data plane might drop packets while the writer is updating entries?
