Hello,
This series is for BugZilla ID 1559.
rte_mempool_set_ops_byname() did not set rte_errno for error exit. As well, other functions did not consistently set the variable.
For avoiding that, they are turned into single-exit functions.
Thank you,

rte_errno is not set for error exits. For the scenario described in
BugZilla ID 1559, rte_mempool_create_empty() calls
rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(), but does not set as well the proper
rte_errno.
rte_errno is now set in rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(); from there it
cascades down to the calling function.

But reading through public API comments none of these functions are
expected to set rte_errno value.
If rte_mempool_create_empty() forgets to set rte_errno, why it is not
enough just to add missing one in rte_mempool_create_empty()?

Thanks for your feedback. Indeed, only rte_mempool_create_empty() returns
a rte_errno
https://doc.dpdk.org/api/rte__mempool_8h.html#a82e301ee33ed7a263ceb4582655dc3ea
I'll push a new series with this change.
Regards,
Ariel

When returning from rte_mempool_set_ops_byname(), rte_errno is not set
for error exits.
The API requires rte_errno to be set in that case.
