[PATCH 15/23] examples/vhost: fix shadow warnings

Stephen Hemminger stephen at networkplumber.org
Tue Apr 7 05:49:41 CEST 2026


The mbuf_pool was being passed as parameter with same as
global; resolve conflict by making variable local to main
and passing where needed.

The num_devices was global but also passed as arg.
Remove the parameter.
