I should have got this warning... but compilation passed fine for me.
Happy you tested it.

Since SPDK has a PCI driver, you'll need to compile code that calls
those PCI driver internal API with ALLOW_INTERNAL_API defined.
You can probably add a #define ALLOW_INTERNAL_API first thing (it's
important to have it defined before including any dpdk header) in
pci.c

Another option, is to add it to lib/env_dpdk/env.mk:ENV_CFLAGS =
$(DPDK_INC) -DALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API.

Can someone from SPDK take over this and sync with Chenbo?


Thanks.
