Just a suggestion here, I feel the following description would be clearer: Number of elements in @p xstats_names array (if not NULL) and in @p ids array (if not NULL). Shouldn't we say that it has to be 0 if both arrays are NULL? Also, the order of arguments is not the same in comment and in the function. I think it can make sense to align the comment to the prototype. > * @return > * - A positive value lower or equal to size: success.

Not seen in the patch, but right after this line, there is: * - A positive value higher than size: error, the given statistics table * is too small. The return value corresponds to the size that should * be given to succeed. The entries in the table are not valid and * shall not be used by the caller. I wonder if it shouldn't be slighly reworded to remove 'error'. After all, passing NULL arrays (and size == 0) is a valid, so the return is not an error. > @@ -2886,7 +2890,7 @@ int rte_eth_xstats_get(uint16_t port_id, struct rte_eth_xstat *xstats, > * is too small.
