[PATCH 8/9] net/mlx5: use common sysfs routines

Sat Sep 12 08:30:27 CEST 2026


Read the bonding interface indexes with the EAL routine rather than
opening each file and parsing it with fscanf().

The index was read with fscanf("%u") and is now converted with base
0, so a value with a leading zero would parse as octal. The kernel
does not print ifindex with leading zeros.
