This part of the patchset is applied (except patches 4 and 7 that were discussed). > A new testpmd command is added to test device querying. > > Devargs parsing is extended in the relevant buses to test > device declaration. This part uses the new "rte_eth_dev_create" API, > introduced last release and used by only two PMDs, for now. > > The new devargs format is also made available through the new --dev parameter. This second part of the patchset is left for next release. > Next work is to generalize use of new API for eth_dev creation, > compatibility layer for -w, -b and --vdev with --dev, and devargs unit test. I think it's better to wait having the new devargs usable in these options, so we will have more tests and feedbacks. > Gaetan Rivet (13): > bus/pci: implement device iteration and comparison > bus/pci: add device matching field id > bus/vdev: implement device iteration > bus/vdev: add device matching field driver > ethdev: add private generic device iterator > ethdev: register ether layer as a class > ethdev: add device matching field name > app/testpmd: add show device command > bus/pci: pre-process declarative PCI devargs > bus/vdev: pre-process declarative vdev devargs > bus/pci: process declarative PCI devargs > ethdev: process declarative eth devargs > eal: add generic dev parameter Summary: for 18.11, patches 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 are applied, thanks!
