What I am not sure of is whether it is OK to assign the copyright to In= tel, maybe other people can comment on this as well. As explained above, rte_reciprocal.[hc] is a standalone algorithm that is i= ndependent of librte_sched code. It can useful to any piece of code requiri= ng division on data plane side, including any DPDK library or app, even tho= se not using librte_sched library, therefor it really does not belong to li= brte_sched. My proposal is: 1. Please submit patch series 1 with rte_reciprocal.[hc] as new files to be= added to librte_eal/common. 2. Please submit patch series 2 containing just changes to librte_sched, wh= ich are small. Are you OK with this approach?
