[PATCH 00/10] require checking ethdev get return value

[PATCH 00/10] require checking ethdev get return value

[Stephen Hemminger]

Several places flagged by Coverity and Codeql are from code that
calls rte_eth_dev_info_get() but does not check the return value.
If rte_eth_dev_info_get() returns an error, the device info is garbage.

This patch series uses the function attribute to force code
to check the result or there will be a compiler warning.

The series is ordered to fix the current warnings first
before enabling it.

[PATCH 07/10] examples/pipeline: check return value of ethdev functions

The rte_eth_dev_info_get and rte_eth_link_get functions may return
an error, and in that case the information structure is undefined.
The port is valid check is not needed, that can be handled by
rte_eth_dev_info_get checks.
