[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/5] improve tap behavior

[Pascal Mazon]

The tap does not behave properly in some cases.

It is generally expected that a real device should be available once the
probing has been done.

It is also better to check if an operation (here, setting MAC) is
mandatory before performing it. Typically in cases where the remote
netdevice is a VF with limited capabilities.

This series ensures that the tap works more logically.

v3 changes:
  - rebase on top of next-net/master

v2 changes:
  - fix uninitialized fd variable

Pascal Mazon (5):
  net/tap: add debug messages
  net/tap: remove unnecessary functions
  net/tap: drop unnecessary nested block
  net/tap: create netdevice during probing
  net/tap: do not set remote MAC if not necessary
