No comment about IPsec handling.
The documentation could try to better link things together, see below:
> /**

> +enum rte_eth_event_ipsec_subtype {
> + RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_UNKNOWN = 0,
> + /** Unknown event type */
> + RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_ESN_OVERFLOW,
> + /** Sequence number overflow in security offload */
> + RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_SA_TIME_EXPIRY,
> + /** Soft time expiry of SA */
> + RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_SA_BYTE_EXPIRY,
> + /** Soft byte expiry of SA */
> + RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_MAX
> + /** Max value of this enum */
> +};

You could link it to the event type RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC in this doxygen comment.
> +struct rte_eth_event_ipsec_desc {
> + enum rte_eth_event_ipsec_subtype stype;
stype is not easy to read & understand. What about subtype?
> + /** Type of IPsec event */
You could add the prefix of the events in this comment: RTE_ETH_EVENT_IPSEC_*
> + uint64_t md;
What about metadata?
> + /** Event specific metadata */
Could you describe what is the metadata, depending on each sub-type?
