Okay so just to understand,
this is the struct I am adding:
struct rte_bus_address {
const void *addr;
size_t size;
};
This is how I pass it to find_device:
struct rte_bus_address dev_addr = {
.addr = da->name,
.size = RTE_DEV_NAME_MAX_LEN
};
dev = da->bus->find_device(NULL, rte_cmp_dev_name, &dev_addr);
And this is how I use it in rte_cmp_dev_name:
rte_cmp_dev_name(const struct rte_device *dev1, const void *addr)
{
const struct rte_bus_address *dev2_addr = addr;
…
}
Is that what you meant?
Also, I'm not sure if the size is really needed, because we check the size of
the parsed name, which may be different than the size of the original name
