Copy paste error, Keep alive sample app guide should not be here. There is no sample app / guide for usage of the metrics library in this patchset as it is.

Nit: why the _s in rte_metrics_meta_s? Is there a reason why struct rte_metrics_meta {  is not suitable? Same question for rte_metrics_data_s.

In my opinion, passing socket_id to rte_metrics_init() would be a better API, than relying on the metrics initialization core to be on the correct socket.

Should this spinlock be initialized before the creation of the memzone? Creating the memzone first, and later initializing the locking-structure for it feels racey to me. The lock should probably be taken and unlocked again after init and memset.

Would rte_metrics_update_single() be a better function name? I presume updating a single metric at a time is exception case, and the (see below) more generic rte_metrics_update() would be more commonly used.

See above comments on rte_metrics_init() taking a socket_id parameter. Here any core could call update_metrics(), and if the library was not yet initialized, the memory for metrics would end up on the socket of this core. This should be avoided by
A) adding socket_id parameter to the metrics_init() function
B) Demanding that metrics_init() is called by the application before any core uses update_metrics()

What is a "set border"? I think this ensures that one set of metrics cannot overwrite the index's of another metrics set - correct?

As noted in the C function above:
- accept a socket-id
- demand an application calls it if it will use the metrics library.
