Since dynamic fields and flags were added in 19.11, the idea was to use them for new features, not only PMD-specific. The guideline is made more explicit in doxygen, in the mbuf guide, and in the contribution design guidelines. For more information about the original design, see the presentation https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/10/DynamicMbuf.pdf This decision was discussed in the Technical Board: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/dev/2020-June/169667.html Signed-off-by: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net> Acked-by: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com> Acked-by: Jerin Jacob <jerinj@marvell.com>
