[PATCH 3/4] ethdev: hide VMDq internal sizes

David Marchand david.marchand at redhat.com
Fri Apr 3 11:18:34 CEST 2026


Hide RTE_ETH_NUM_RECEIVE_MAC_ADDR and RTE_ETH_VMDQ_NUM_UC_HASH_ARRAY
in the driver API as those (ambiguous) macros are only a driver concern.

In practice, this is only used by the bnxt and ixgbe (+ clones) drivers.
