Hi Pavan, Thanks for your comments, PSB.

I don't think they are needed at least not in current stage, the vdev PMD can just call the register function by himself. I think that if we see we have a need or large code base that should/can be shared between devices then we will add such functions. > Thanks, > Pavan. > > >This patch set adds the RegEx class, which enables RegEx pattern > >matching, both on HW/SW PMDs. > > > >Example for applications that will benefit from this class: > >* Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW) > >* Deep Packet and Flow Inspection (DPI) > >* Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) > >* DDoS Mitigation > >* Network Monitoring > >* Data Loss Prevention (DLP) > >* Smart NICs > >* Grammar based content processing > >* URL, spam and adware filtering > >* Advanced auditing and policing of user/application security policies > >* Financial data mining - parsing of streamed financial feeds > >* Application recognition. > >* Dmemory introspection. > >* Natural Language Processing (NLP) > >* Sentiment Analysis. > >* Big data databse acceleration. > >* Computational storage. > > > >This patch set is based on RFC[1] > > > >This class should be merged only after there is at least > >one PMD that implements it.
