Here the doxygen comment applies to RTE_ECPRI_MSG_TYPE_IQ_DATA.

I think it should either be a standard comment (no doxygen), or
something more complex should be done, like grouping:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30803156/group-level-documentation-for-preprocessor-defines-in-doxygen
(I didn't try)

Does it really need to be packed? Why next types do not need it?
It looks only those which have bitfields are.


I wonder if the 'dw0' could be in this definition instead of in
struct rte_ecpri_msg_hdr?

Something like this:

struct rte_ecpri_common_hdr {
	union {
		uint32_t u32;
		struct {
			...
		};
	};
};

I see 2 advantages:

- someone that only uses the common_hdr struct can use the .u32
  in its software
- when using it in messages, it looks clearer to me:
    msg.common_hdr.u32 = value;
  instead of:
    msg.dw0 = value;

What do you think?

What is the point in having this struct?

>From a software point of view, I think it is a bit risky, because
its size is the size of the largest message. This is probably what
you want in your case, but when a software will rx or tx such
packet, I think they shouldn't use this one. My understanding is
that you only need this structure for the mask in rte_flow.

Also, I'm not sure to understand the purpose of dummy[3], even after reading
your answer to Akhil's question.
