Hi Ferruh, Sure it would work. The reason I did it this way is two-fold: * I disliked having two places where eth_dev->device was conditionally set. It makes it harder to read rte_pmd_ring_probe. * I was actually thinking, doing this patch, that we should modify rte_eth_dev_allocate() to take an rte_device as parameter, as all eth_dev are meant to be backed by an rte_device. Keeping this in mind, I meant to move writing the pointer closer to the rte_eth_dev_allocate() call. But you are right that it is needlessly verbose, using vdev_bus->find_device() to do this stuff. I'm ok with changing it as you described if you prefer. -- Gaëtan
