[dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 0/3] add rx buffer size for rte_eth_rxq_info

[Chengchang Tang]

Hi Ferruh,

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to bother you while you are busy with
the release. I know this change may only be accepted in the next release.
I'd like to know what the community thinks about it. If there is no
objection, I will send the patch after current release out.
