Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/3] doc: change type of return value of adding MAC addr
Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2017 16:21:05 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9d7b6d0a867a27f6702d5b13a24cf54555ea49f0.1492071245.git.wei.dai@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1492071245.git.wei.dai@intel.com>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1492071245.git.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.
