[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/4] net/mlx: enhance rdma-core glue configuration

[Adrien Mazarguil]

The decision to deliver mlx4/mlx5 rdma-core glue plug-ins separately instead
of generating them at run time due to security concerns [1] led to a few
issues:

- They must be present on the file system before running DPDK.
- Their location must be known to the dynamic linker.
- Their names overlap and ABI compatibility is not guaranteed, which may
  lead to crashes.

This series addresses the above by adding version information to plug-ins
and taking CONFIG_RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH into account to locate them on the file
system.

v2 changes:

- Fixed extra "\n" in glue file name generation (although it didn't break
  functionality).

Adrien Mazarguil (4):
  net/mlx: add debug checks to glue structure
  net/mlx: fix missing includes for rdma-core glue
  net/mlx: version rdma-core glue libraries
  net/mlx: make rdma-core glue path configurable
