> Existing service functions allow us to stop a service, but doing so doesn't
> guarantee that the service has finished running on a service core. This
> patch set introduces a function, rte_service_may_be_active(), to check
> whether a stopped service is truly stopped.
> 
> This is needed for flows that modify a resource that the service is
> using; for example when stopping an eventdev, any event adapters and/or
> scheduler service need to be quiesced first.
> 
> This patch set also adds support for the event sw PMD's device stop flush
> callback, which relies on this new mechanism to ensure that the
> scheduler service is no longer active.

> v2:
> - Move function to DPDK_18.08 block in rte_eal_version.map
> - Fix signed vs. unsigned comparison compiler warning
> 
> v3:
> - Move function to EXPERIMENTAL block and add experimental tags
> - Fix typo in function documentation
