  It is useful to know when the next timer will expire when
using rte_epoll_wait (or sleep when idle). This experimental
API provides a hook to query the number of ticks remaining.

Hi Stephen,

The code seems fine. My only comment is that there is not a blank line before the new code, in both the .c and .h.

Where, I see the blank line between functions and checkpatch is happy.

You are correct. I just looked at it in Patchwork. Sorry about that. (I should learn never to trust Outlook for Mac.)

Hi Stephen,

This looks like a useful addition.  Some comments in-line:

The timer data instance used above is used by the legacy API.  We should do something like the following instead:

This will select the correct instance that was allocated in shared memory.

This comment is missing the "@warning" and "@b EXPERIMENTAL" lines.

I would say "The next timer has already expired" or "A timer is already running" here... the timer library describes timers that have been started but have not yet expired as "pending".
