In particular, the API is capable of returning an > error value if an invalid device, port or attribute ID is passed > in, which was not possible with the previous APIs. > > The implementation of this patchset is based on a v1 patch[1], > and after some discussion this API was seen as the best solution. > > In terms of flexibility, the attribute id allows addition of new > common eventdev layer attributes without breaking ABI or adding > new functions. Note that these attributes are not data-path, and > that PMDs should continue to use the xstats API for reporting any > unique PMD statistics that are available. > > Regarding API/ABI compatibility, I have removed the functions from > the .map files - please review the .map file changes for ABI issues > carefully.
