[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] eal: simplify devargs and hotplug functions

[Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>]

This is a follow-up of an idea presented at Dublin
during the "hotplug talk".

Instead of changing the existing hotplug functions, as in the RFC,
some new experimental functions are added.
The old functions lose their experimental status in order to provide
a non-experimental replacement for deprecated attach/detach functions.

It has been discussed briefly in the technical board meeting this week.


Change in v3:
  - fix null dereferencing in error path (patch 2)


Thomas Monjalon (4):
  devargs: remove deprecated functions
  devargs: simplify parameters of removal function
  eal: remove experimental flag of hotplug functions
  eal: simplify parameters of hotplug functions
