[PATCH v4 08/10] ethdev: add getter for per-queue Tx rate limit
Vincent Jardin

Sun Mar 22 14:46:27 CET 2026
The existing rte_eth_set_queue_rate_limit() API allows setting a
per-queue Tx rate but provides no way to read it back. Applications
such as grout are forced to maintain a shadow copy of the rate to
be able to report it.
Add rte_eth_get_queue_rate_limit() as the symmetric getter, following
the established DPDK pattern (e.g. rte_eth_dev_set_mtu/get_mtu,
rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload/get_vlan_offload).
This adds:
- eth_get_queue_rate_limit_t driver callback in ethdev_driver.h
- rte_eth_get_queue_rate_limit() public experimental API (26.07)
- Trace point matching the existing setter pattern
- Generic testpmd command: show port <id> queue <id> rate
