After having to change the spp (software patch panel) to get it to compile. I had one problem with the new memory code, but was easy to fix and I had to add the define to enable the experimental code to the Makefile.
The only other change was having to change all of the rte_eth_dev_count() to rte_eth_dev_count_avail(), why did we not add a define or simple inline function to call rte_eth_dev_count_avail() instead of removing the API? I had the same problem with rte_eth_dev_count() in pktgen.
Would it not have been better to add the define of inline function to reduce the amount of changes customers need to do?
Maybe I missed the discussion, sorry if did.
Regards,
Keith
