This patch provides a PMD specific API to get PMD internal data (internals->if_name). I think we should avoid PMD specific APIs if possible. internals->if_name is provided by application, as devargs to af_packet (iface=..), so app already knows port_id -> if_name mapping. OR With rte_eth_dev_info_get() af_packet returns the if_index for underlying interface, it is possible to use if_indextoname() to get ifname. Because above methods exists to get if_name, I think this API is not necessary. > > Signed-off-by: Charles (Chas) Williams <ciwil...@brocade.com> <...>
