[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] ring: provide rte_ring_as_ethdev API

[Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>]

This patch set aims to provide a shorter simpler alternative the public API functions for using rings as ethdevs provided by the librte_pmd_ring library. This alternative just provides simple RX and TX burst functions and a conversion API, without any of the complexities present in the pmd_ring version. This replacement should allow the public APIs in the pmd_ring library to be deprecated in the future.

Bruce Richardson (3):
  ethdev: Remove ethdev.h dependency on mbuf +  mempool
  ring: add support for converting a ring to ethdev
  ring: autotest for using ring as ethdev
