[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] eal: simplify exit functions

Thomas Monjalon thomas at monjalon.net
Mon Sep 28 02:00:48 CEST 2020


The option RTE_EAL_ALWAYS_PANIC_ON_ERROR was off by default,
and not customizable with meson. It is completely removed.

The function rte_dump_registers is a trace of the bare metal support
era, and was not supported in userland. It is completely removed.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Monjalon <thomas at monjalon.net>
Acked-by: Ray Kinsella <mdr at ashroe.eu>
---
The deprecation notice for this removal has been missed.
I assume it would not hurt anybody to remove this useless function
from DPDK 20.11. Asking the Technical Board for confirmation.
