Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: fix rte_hash_hash comment for ambiguity
Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2019 02:40:16 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1556530816-423522-1-git-send-email-yipeng1.wang@intel.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190429094016.yhPPJNF01Z94JCAEBloUT0F2vrTw1MWio6tGUUE-vTc@z> (raw)

rte_hash_hash is multi-thread safe but not multi-process safe
because of the use of function pointers. Previous document
and comment says the other way around. This commit fixes
the issue.

Fixes: fc1f2750a3ec ("doc: programmers guide")
Fixes: 48a399119619 ("hash: replace with cuckoo hash implementation")
