Hi Nilanjan,
Sorry, the patch seems missed because of the misleading module info in the patch
title, this is not an 'eal' patch but a 'ethdev' patch ...
Related to the API, it looks like target is to reduce the critical section which
looks reasonable to me.
A concern is related to the making this function inline, we are discussing
moving existing inline functions to regular functions, this may have performance
affect but if the drop is acceptable what about making this an ethdev API?
Thanks,
ferruh
