I have an application that is built with version 21.11.0 of the DPDK (ABI22).
Now I run the application on a target machine that has 21.11.2
installed, then the same ABI.
How can I be sure that the DPDK inlined source code in 21.11.0 is the
same or compatible with that in 21.11.2?
I mean, if an inline function in version 21.11.0 has changed in
21.11.2, could I see problems?
Is this important or the fact that the two DPDKs have the same ABI
grants that everything will work?

yes. Especially for bugfix (ie stable) releases.
The only thing is that if a bug fix is done in an inline in 21.11.2
then obviously you have to build with that version to get it.

The fact that I don't have to align the DPDK on the build system and
on the target (provided that they have the same ABI) is very soothing.
Thank you.
