[dpdk-dev] [RFC] eventdev: replace mbufs with events in Rx callback

[Nikhil Rao]

Replace the mbuf pointer array in the event eth Rx adapter
callback with an event array instead of an mbuf array. Using
an event array allows the application to change attributes
of the events enqueued by the SW adapter.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] eventdev: add dropped count to Rx adapter stats

[Nikhil Rao]

The application can install a callback invoked by
the Rx adapter. The callback can drop packets and populate
a callback argument with the number of dropped packets.
Add a Rx adapter stats field to keep track of the total
number of dropped packets.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eventdev: change Rx adapter callback and stats structure

[Nikhil Rao]

Replace the mbuf pointer array in the event eth Rx adapter
callback with an event array. Using an event array allows
the application to change attributes of the events enqueued
by the SW adapter.

The callback can drop packets and populate a callback
argument with the number of dropped packets. Add a Rx adapter
stats field to keep track of the total number of dropped packets.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] eventdev: change Rx adapter callback and stats structure

[Nikhil Rao]

Replace the mbuf pointer array in the event eth Rx adapter
callback with an event array. Using an event array allows
the application to change attributes of the events enqueued
by the SW adapter.

The callback can drop packets and populate a callback
argument with the number of dropped packets. Add a Rx adapter
stats field to keep track of the total number of dropped packets.

This commit removes the experimental tags from
the callback and stats APIs, the experimental tag from eventdev
is also removed and eventdev functions become part of the
main DPDK API/ABI.

+* eventdev: Event based Rx adapter callback
+
+  The mbuf pointer array in the event eth Rx adapter callback
+  has been replaced with an event array. Using
+  an event array allows the application to change attributes
+  of the events enqueued by the SW adapter.
+
+  The callback can drop packets and populate
+  a callback argument with the number of dropped packets.
+  Add a Rx adapter stats field to keep track of the total

# Please bump the library version as it an ABI change 
# Update API change In release notes. 
# remove __rte_experimental around this API
# We kept eventdev EXPERIMENTAL status to accommodate
this change. Please remove the EXPERMENTAL status
