[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] do deprecation in 2.1

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] do deprecation in 2.1

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemming@brocade.com>

For features that were correctly marked as deprecated in rte_ring and kni
in 2.0, go ahead and remove them in 2.1

The ACL deprecation was only a comment, so mark those functions as deprecated
(instead or removing right now), to allow users to see the problem.

  rte_ring: remove deprecated functions
  kni: remove deprecated functions
  acl: mark deprecated functions

Removing symbols is an ABI break so it additionally requires a soname 
bump for this library.

In addition, simply due to being the first library to do so, it'll also 
then break the combined shared library as is currently is. Mind you, 
this is not an objection at all, the need to change to a linker script 
approach has always been a matter of time.

Also, patch title should be prefixed with "ring pmd" or "drivers/net/ring" rather
than rte_ring, since this is a patch for the ring pmd, not the rte_ring library.

Previously, there was no difference, it was only "ring".
Prefixes don't include full path nor "pmd".
Is it really important to make a difference in the commit title between ring lib
and ring pmd?

Not especially important, no. 

However, if we are going to have prefixes to indicate what component is affected
by a patch, they should at least be unique per component IMHO.

These symbols need to be removed from rte_kni_version.map too, and since 
its an ABI break, the library soname needs a bump as well.

To allow for compatiablity with later releases, any functions
