[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: clean up building kernel modules using meson

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] build: clean up building kernel modules using meson

[Bruce Richardson]

The meson.build files for building the kernel modules directory could
be improved now that it is extracted from the EAL. For example, no
global processing is necessary inside the kernel folder, just need to
subdir to the appropriate bsd or linux folder to do the actual work.

NOTE: this patch depends upon patch #35336, to move kernel modules to
  a top-level "kernel" folder.

Hi Hemant,

I haven't been able to reproduce reliably the issue you reported, but the
above fixes what I *think* to be the issue causing the error print. If you
get a chance, can you do a quick re-test and see if it re-occurs for you.
If not, I'll apply this version - otherwise I might just apply V1, since
the error itself appears harmless, as you say.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] build: clean up building kernel modules using meson

[Bruce Richardson]

The meson.build files for building the kernel modules directory could
be improved now that it is extracted from the EAL. For example, no
global processing is necessary inside the kernel folder, just need to
subdir to the appropriate bsd or linux folder to do the actual work.

To avoid potential race conditions with the BSD module builds when
the kernel build system is creating the dev_if.h and other files,
we serialize the kernel module builds (all 2 of them!) by setting
up each module to depend on all the previous.
