IMO, this solves most of the use cases and helps the application integrate lock-less algorithms with minimal effort.
>
> 3) This is where the application has its own method of reclamation that does not fall under 1) or 2). To address this use case, I think we should make changes to the LPM library. Today, in LPM, the delete and free are combined into a single API. We can split this single API into 2 separate APIs - delete and free (similar thing was done to rte_hash library) without affecting the ABI. This should provide all the flexibility required for the application to implement any kind of reclamation algorithm it wants. Returning the defer queue to the user in the above API does not solve this use case.


Agree, I don't see any case when user will need the defer queue. From my 
perspective reclamation of tbl8 is totally internal and user should not 
worry about it. So, in case of LPM I don't see any real use case when we 
need to enable third way of how RCU can be integrated.
P.S. In rte_fib case we even don't have an opportunity to reclaim it not 
from the library due to rte_fib struct layout is hidden from user. 
Moreover, there may not be tbl8 at all, since it supports different 
algorithms
