This patchset modularizes l2fwd application to prepare it for eventmode additions. This patchset doesn't change the code flow or logic, except for few minor improvements. Some of the newly added functions are used in just one place, but is added for efficient usage with eventmode. v1: * Fix all checkpatch reported issues
My main concern here is how much this eventmode addition is going to complicate the l2fwd example. l2fwd has always been a pretty basic example app to get users started on the basics of DPDK use, and I'm not sure how much we want to move away from that. Is this eventmode-l2fwd better being a separate app, to allow l2fwd to be kept as simple as it can be? Looking for more thoughts from others here, since it's a community decision as to the scope of the examples. /Bruce
