[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/6] New Reorder Library

[Thomas Monjalon]

> This series introduces the new reorder library along with unit tests,
> sample app and a new entry in the programmers guide describing the library.
> 
> The library provides reordering of mbufs based on their sequence number.
> 
> As mention in the patch describing the library, one use case is the
> packet distributor.
> The distributor receives packets, assigns them a sequence number and sends
> them to the workers.
> The workers process those packets and return them to the distributor.
> The distributor collects out-of-order packets from the workers and uses
> this library to reorder the packets based on the sequence number they
> were assigned.
> 
> v5:
>  - update MAINTAINERS
> 
> v4:
>  - add missing version.map and related versioning macros
> 
> v3:
>  - fix copyright date
>  - add option to sample app to disable reordering
>  - add packet ordering sample guide entry
> 
> v2:
>  - add programmers guide entry describing the library
>  - use malloc instead of memzone to allocate memory
>  - modify create and init implementation, init takes a reorder buffer as input
>    and create reserves memory and call init.
>  - update unit tests
> 
> Sergio Gonzalez Monroy (6):
>   reorder: new reorder library
>   app: New reorder unit test
>   examples: new sample app packet_ordering
>   doc: new reorder library description
>   doc: new packet ordering app description
>   MAINTAINERS: add and claim reorder
