> 
> Problem: When there is little or no TX traffic on an LACP port (bonding mode 4),
> we don't call its tx burst function in a timely manner, and thus we don't
> transmit LACPDUs when we should.
> 
> Solution: Add and maintain an "lacp_master" flag in rte_port struct.
> In the main packet forwarding loop, if port is an LACP master, in 1 out of N
> loops force an empty call to the tx burst API.

By add tx_burst here will change default logic. Some fwd engine are usually used to measure
Performance . Additional cycle in fast path may impact that. It would be better to move additional
sending to your fwd engine.

You may need to check the pid is valid or not.
And the function is simple, could you just assign the lacp_master
in the caller instead of defining a new one?

Same comment as above.
