[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 07/10] devargs: make devargs list private

[Thomas Monjalon]

21/03/2018 00:20, Gaetan Rivet:
> Initially, rte_devargs was meant to be populated once and sometimes
> accessed, then never emptied.
> 
> With the new hotplug functionality having better standing, new usage
> appeared with repeated addition of devices and their subsequent removal.
> 
> Exposing devargs_list pushed bus drivers and libraries to be careless
> and inconsistent in their memory management. Making it private will
> allow to rationalize this part of the EAL and ensure that fewer memory
> leaks occur during operations.
