[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] simplify unit-testing of rawdevs

[Thomas Monjalon]

> At present the "rawdev_autotest" command creates a skeleton rawdev and runs
> a series of tests on the rawdev API and on that rawdev. While the rawdev
> API set includes a "selftest" function, it is not hooked up to this test so
> to test an individual rawdev driver, e.g. ioat, requires that a new test
> command be added.
> 
> This patchset improves the situation by changing the UT to first run the
> existing API tests, but then call selftest on all rawdevs on the system.
> This removes the need for any new test commands for new drivers. If there
> are multiple rawdevs on a system, the sub-set to be tested can be limited
> via existing means such as using the device block/allow EAL parameters or
> similarly via vdev args, etc.
> 
> As part of this change, the ioat rawdev autotest is fixed to allow calling
> on multiple instances inside the one test run, and thereafter the custom
> test command for it is removed as it is no longer necessary.

Applied, thanks
