Having a separate helper library to configure eventdev may be a overhead to the
application
as application needs to understand main DPDK API as well as helper routines.
It can be kept in application as a separate file.
For one application we could add a new file, but if we are to enable
event mode with multiple applications, wouldn't this be duplication of
lot of code? Considering that I haven't added the required parsing
routines, the code additions in one application to make it eventdriven
would be huge.
I do agree that making this as a library poses its own challenges, but
do you have something better in mind? Another option we can think of is
making all these changes part of some common headers and then each
application can include and start using these functions. I'm fine with
any approach, but we need to consider making at-least l3fwd &
ipsec-secgw also event driven.
Thanks,
Anoob
