This is a follow-up of an idea presented at Dublin during the "hotplug talk".
Instead of changing the existing hotplug functions, as in the RFC, some new experimental functions are added. The old functions lose their experimental status in order to provide a non-experimental replacement for deprecated attach/detach functions. It has been discussed briefly in the latest technical board meeting. Changes in v5: - rte_devargs_remove is fixed in case of null devargs (patch 2) - a pointer to the bus is added in rte_device (patch 3) - rte_dev_remove is fixed in case of no devargs (patch 5) Changes in v4 - after Andrew's review: - add API changes in release notes (patches 1 & 2) - fix memory leak in rte_eal_hotplug_add (patch 4) Change in v3: - fix null dereferencing in error path (patch 2) Thomas Monjalon (5): devargs: remove deprecated functions devargs: simplify parameters of removal function eal: add bus pointer in device structure eal: remove experimental flag of hotplug functions eal: simplify parameters of hotplug functions doc/guides/rel_notes/release_18_11.rst | 10 +++ drivers/bus/dpaa/dpaa_bus.c | 2 + drivers/bus/fslmc/fslmc_bus.c | 2 + drivers/bus/ifpga/ifpga_bus.c | 6 +- drivers/bus/pci/bsd/pci.c | 2 + drivers/bus/pci/linux/pci.c | 1 + drivers/bus/pci/private.h | 2 + drivers/bus/vdev/vdev.c | 9 +-- drivers/bus/vmbus/linux/vmbus_bus.c | 1 + drivers/bus/vmbus/private.h | 3 + drivers/net/failsafe/failsafe_eal.c | 3 +- drivers/net/failsafe/failsafe_ether.c | 3 +- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_dev.c | 89 +++++++++++++-------- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_devargs.c | 41 ++-------- lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_dev.h | 36 +++++++-- lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_devargs.h | 81 +------------------ lib/librte_eal/rte_eal_version.map | 10 +-- 17 files changed, 128 insertions(+), 173 deletions(-) -- 2.19.0
