[Certainly no ABI expert, but...]
I think this is an API break, not ABI break.
Given application code as follows, it will fail to compile - even though
running the new code as a .so wouldn't cause any issues (AFAIK).
void do_hash_stuff(const struct rte_hash *h, ...)
{
/* parameter passed in is const, but updated function prototype is non-const */
rte_hash_add_key_with_hash(h, ...);
}
This means that we can't recompile apps against latest patch without application
code changes, if the app was passing a const rte_hash struct as the first parameter.
