[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/6] net/tap: fixes and cleanups

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

The tap device (used by vdev_netvsc on Azure) has a bug that
prevents it working with primary/secondary process model because
the device name generation assumed a single process.  The fix for
this is to have the kernel assign the device name (patch #5).

While investigating this, found a number of other small issues
that should be cleaned up as well.

v2
  - encorporate Keith's style feedback and ack
  - use strlcpy instead of snprintf when copying "dtap%d"
    since it makes intent clearer
  - add another message cleanup

Stephen Hemminger (7):
  net/tap: use strlcpy for interface name
  net/tap: allow full length names
  net/tap: check interface name in kvargs
  net/tap: lower the priority of log messages
  net/tap: let kernel choose tun device name
  net/tap: get rid of global tuntap_name
  net/tap: don't print pointer in info message
