Hi Ferruh,
does this patch not break rte_eth_from_ring() and rte_eth_from_rings() since
the "auto allocation" you refer to is only performed on eth_dev_configure, I
believe. Currently, you can create an rte_ring and then use it as though it
were an ethdev by calling:
port_id = rte_eth_from_ring(r)
With this change, I believe the user instead has to now call eth_from_ring,
then do a series of configure and queue setup calls just to make the new
ethdev usable.
Regards.
