Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: check for invalid device name
Date: Mon, 11 Mar 2019 11:15:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190311181544.15646-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Do not allow creating a ethernet device with a name over the
allowed maximum (or zero length). This is safer than silently truncating
which is what happens now.
