port_id is currently defined as uint8_t, which is limited to the range 0 to 255. A larger range is required for vdev scalability.
It is necessary for a redefinition of port_id to extend it from 1 bytes to 2 bytes. All ethdev APIs and usages related to port_id will be changed at the same time. Below is an API/ABI change notice for DPDK 17.11. http://www.dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/27475/ Discussion about port_id is the following thread. http://www.dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/23208/ Zhiyong Yang (2): ethdev: increase port_id range examples: increase port_id range app/pdump/main.c | 2 +- app/test-pmd/cmdline.c | 4 +- app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 4 +- app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 2 +- drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond.h | 40 ++-- drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond_8023ad.c | 6 +- drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond_api.c | 54 +++--- drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond_pmd.c | 10 +- drivers/net/bonding/rte_eth_bond_private.h | 36 ++-- drivers/net/failsafe/failsafe_ether.c | 4 +- drivers/net/failsafe/failsafe_private.h | 4 +- drivers/net/ring/rte_eth_ring.c | 2 +- examples/bond/main.c | 6 +- examples/ip_fragmentation/main.c | 4 +- examples/l3fwd-power/main.c | 7 +- examples/l3fwd/l3fwd.h | 10 +- examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_em.c | 2 +- examples/l3fwd/l3fwd_lpm.c | 2 +- examples/link_status_interrupt/main.c | 5 +- examples/performance-thread/l3fwd-thread/main.c | 7 +- examples/rxtx_callbacks/main.c | 8 +- lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.c | 231 +++++++++++------------ lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.h | 236 ++++++++++++------------ lib/librte_ether/rte_tm.c | 62 +++---- lib/librte_ether/rte_tm.h | 60 +++--- lib/librte_ether/rte_tm_driver.h | 2 +- lib/librte_latencystats/rte_latencystats.c | 8 +- lib/librte_pdump/rte_pdump.c | 16 +- lib/librte_pdump/rte_pdump.h | 4 +- lib/librte_port/rte_port_ethdev.c | 6 +- lib/librte_port/rte_port_ethdev.h | 6 +- 31 files changed, 431 insertions(+), 419 deletions(-) -- 2.13.3
