> > + *
> > + * Many features require to store data inside the mbuf. As the room in
> > + * mbuf structure is limited, it is not possible to have a field for
> > + * each feature. Also, changing fields in the mbuf structure can break
> > + * the API or ABI.
> > + *
> > + * This module addresses this issue, by enabling the dynamic
> > + * registration of fields or flags:
> > + *
> > + * - a dynamic field is a named area in the rte_mbuf structure, with a
> > + *   given size (>= 1 byte) and alignment constraint.
> > + * - a dynamic flag is a named bit in the rte_mbuf structure, stored
> > + *   in mbuf->ol_flags.
> > + *
> > + * The typical use case is when a specific offload feature requires to
> > + * register a dedicated offload field in the mbuf structure, and adding
> > + * a static field or flag is not justified.
> > + *
> > + * Example of use:
> > + *
> > + * - A rte_mbuf_dynfield structure is defined, containing the parameters
> > + *   of the dynamic field to be registered:
> > + *   const struct rte_mbuf_dynfield rte_dynfield_my_feature = { ... };
> > + * - The application initializes the PMD, and asks for this feature
> > + *   at port initialization by passing DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_MY_FEATURE in
> > + *   rxconf. This will make the PMD to register the field by calling
> > + *   rte_mbuf_dynfield_register(&rte_dynfield_my_feature). The PMD
> > + *   stores the returned offset.
> > + * - The application that uses the offload feature also registers
> > + *   the field to retrieve the same offset.
> > + * - When the PMD receives a packet, it can set the field:
> > + *   *RTE_MBUF_DYNFIELD(m, offset, <type *>) = value;
> > + * - In the main loop, the application can retrieve the value with
> > + *   the same macro.
> > + *
> > + * To avoid wasting space, the dynamic fields or flags must only be
> > + * reserved on demand, when an application asks for the related feature.
> > + *
> > + * The registration can be done at any moment, but it is not possible
> > + * to unregister fields or flags for now.
> > + *
> > + * A dynamic field can be reserved and used by an application only.
> > + * It can for instance be a packet mark.
