3 comments here: - it is in the wrong section (EAL instead of Drivers) - secondary processes can setup a vdev PMD - before Yuanhan's patch, even PCI PMD were blanking primary process data
Since the code being changed is in rte_ether rather than drivers/net it seemed the logical place to me.. :)
I propose this rebase: - memset(&rte_eth_dev_data[port_id], 0, sizeof(struct rte_eth_dev_data)); eth_dev = eth_dev_get(port_id); + if (rte_eal_process_type() == RTE_PROC_PRIMARY) + memset(eth_dev->data, 0, sizeof(*eth_dev->data)); snprintf(eth_dev->data->name, sizeof(eth_dev->data->name), "%s", name); eth_dev->data->port_id = port_id; eth_dev->data->mtu = ETHER_MTU;
Seems OK to me, assuming Yuanhan's patch is going in as-is. ..Remy
