Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/3] doc: change type of return value of adding MAC addr
Date: Tue, 2 May 2017 20:44:24 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1493729065-17090-3-git-send-email-wei.dai@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1493729065-17090-1-git-send-email-wei.dai@intel.com>
Add following lines in section of API change in release note.
If a MAC address fails to be added without this change, it is still
stored and may be regarded as a valid one. This may lead to errors
in application. The type of return value of eth_mac_addr_add_t in
rte_ethdev.h is changed. Any specific NIC also follows this change.
