Apologies for my non-familiarity with the Eventdev and DPDK Timer features.. but what does a PMD need to "do" to be capable of TIMER_ADAPTER_CAP_PERIODIC? I see the code change to enable reporting that "sw pmd supports it", but I didn't find (in rte_eventdev.h[0] or event-timer-adapter docs[1]) what the PMD must actually "do" to support it? If a PMD does not have to actually change anything in the implementation, then why does the flag exist at all? <snip patch contents> [0] https://doc.dpdk.org/api/rte__eventdev_8h.html#ac9a05105d3e7f16cce2776408571e1a2 [1] https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-21.05/prog_guide/event_timer_adapter.html
