> I agree that the two naming schemes are equivalent, but since this option would control the adapter's behavior (Rx only vs. Rx + Tx), (IMO) I think Abhinandan's original names do a better job of conveying what effect these two options have on the adapter, compared to the op type names.
The only concern with Rx/Tx terminology was, It is mostly used in the ethdev domain.
In crypto domain, typically, we use enqueue/dequeue.
The only difference between two modes is if adapter enqueue the events with
RTE_EVENT_OP_NEW vs RTE_EVENT_OP_FORWARD then (IMO) we can change
something related to that name to avoid adding a new terminology.
BTW, Based on the earlier discussion, if we need to add opaque eventdev metadata
to cryptodev then it may change ABI.If so, I think, we need to announce
ABI change notice for cryptodev and plan cryptodev adapter for v18.05.
