Semantics and naming should be the same as Linux kernel or you risk
having to reeducate too many people.
Although I do see significant value in that point, I don't consider the Linux
kernel API the definitive golden standard in all regards. If DPDK can do
better, it should.
However, if different naming/semantics does a better job for DPDK, then we
should take care to avoid similar function names with different behavior than
Linux, to reduce the risk of incorrect use by seasoned Linux kernel developers.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
