[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/5] New library: rte_distributor

[Thomas Monjalon]

> This adds a new library to the Intel DPDK whereby a set of packets can be
> distributed one-at-a-time to a set of worker cores, with dynamic load
> balancing being done between those workers. Flows are identified by a tag
> within the mbuf (currently the RSS hash field, 32-bit value), which is used
> to ensure that no two packets of the same flow are processed in parallel,
> thereby preserving ordering.
> 
> Major changes in V2 set:
> * Updates to take account of Neil's comments on original patch set
> * Updates to fix issues highlighted by checkpatch.pl
> * Additional handling in library for special case when process() is called 
with zero mbufs
> 
> Bruce Richardson (5):
>   eal: add tailq for new distributor component
>   distributor: new packet distributor library
>   distributor: add distributor library to build
>   distributor: add unit tests for distributor lib
>   docs: add distributor lib to API docs

I've added a doxygen comment @file in order to generate the according entry.
Makefiles and configs are merged with the main patch (no need to split here).

Applied for version 1.7.0.

Thanks
