Sorry, it is a nack.
BTW, it is probably breaking the ABI because of RTE_TUNNEL_TYPE_MAX.

Yes that may break the ABI but fortunately the checking-abi-compatibility tool 
shows negative :) , thanks Ferruh' s guide.

That's very strange. An enum value is changed.
Why it is not flagged by libabigail?

As long as the enum values not sent to the application and kept within the
library, changing their values shouldn't be problem.

But RTE_TUNNEL_TYPE_MAX is part of lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.h
so it is exposed to the application.
I think it is a case of ABI breakage.


Yes it is exposed to the application. But in runtime does it exchanged between library and application is the issue I think.
For this case it seems it is not, so not an ABI break.
