[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] ethdev: abstraction layer for QoS hierarchical scheduler

[Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com>]

This patch set introduces an ethdev-based abstraction layer for Quality of
Service (QoS) hierarchical scheduler. The goal is to provide a simple generic
API that is agnostic of the underlying HW, SW or mixed HW-SW implementation.

Patch 1 builds on the mechanism introduced by rte_flow in DPDK and generalizes
it to make it available for other ethdev features/capabilities (such as the
hierarchical scheduler). The goal is to define a plugin-like mechanism to extend
the ethdev functionality in a modular way as opposed to the current monolithic
approach.

Patch 2 introduces the generic ethdev API for hierarchical scheduler using the
above plugin-like mechanism for ethdev.
