Hello ,

I am trying to write an application based on DPDK port hotplug feature . My
requirement is to get an event when a new PCI devices gets added to the
system on the go.

Do we have any in-built mechanism in DPDK (UIO/e1000/vfio drivers ) that i
can use to get notifications when a new device gets added . I know the
alternatives such as inotify etc .

But i am more interested to get equivalent support in dpdk drivers .

Please let me know .

Srikanth
