Hi Anoob, There is bit overlap with Nikhil's TX adapter patches and this series. I prefer to have Nikhil's Tx adapter gets in first(as he sent the RFC first) and then rework this series to adapt Tx adapter patches. I think, this will enable - application code will be even much cleaner with Tx adapter. - zero overlap - no major rework Nikhil, When you are planning to send the first version of Tx adapter patch so we all can review it and give time for Anoob to rework this series based on Tx adapter APIs' All, Is there any concern on overall rte_eventmode_helper.h approach to avoid code duplication for Rx and Tx adapter configuration codes across all the applications?
