[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/6] kni: add API to set link status on kernel interface

[Dan Gora <dg@adax.com>]

Hi All,

Attached is version 3 of a patchset to add a new API function to
set the link status on kernel interfaces created with the KNI kernel
module.

v3
====
* Use separate function to test rte_kni_update_link() in 'test' app.

* Separate changes to 'test' app into separate patch to facilitate
  possible merge with https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/44730/

* Remove changes to set KNI interfaces to 'up' in example/kni

> v2
> ====
> 
> * Fix bug where "Fixed" and "AutoNeg" were transposed in the link
>   status log message.
> 
> * Add rte_kni_update_link() to rte_kni_version.map
> 
> * Add rte_kni_update_link() tests to kni_autotest
> 
> * Update examples/kni to continuously monitor link status and
>   update the corresponding kernel interface with
>   rte_kni_update_link().
> 
> * Minor improvements to examples/kni: Add log message showing how
>   to show/zero stats.  Improve zeroing statistics.
> 
> Note that checkpatches.sh compains about patch 1/5, but this appears
> to be a bug with check-symbol-change or something.  If I move the
> fragment of the patch modifying rte_kni_version.map to the bottom of
> the patch file, it doesn't complain any more...  I just don't really
> have time to investigate this right now.
  
thanks
