NAK.
I am fine with V1, but against this V2 due to the reasons previously discussed
and agreed by Olivier [1] regarding performance. We should not sacrifice
performance for the sake of cosmetics criteria that can met some other way.
In order to meet readability requirements from Olivier, I suggest we go back to
V1 and we explicitly mention the size of the mbuf->sched field inslide the mbuf
as 8 bytes:
struct rte_mbuf {
...
struct rte_mbuf_sched sched; /**< Hierarchical scheduler: 8 bytes */
...
}
Olivier, is this a good compromise?

Cristian
