Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/29/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

[ upstream commit 3370975b994d793a89812031d86534916067dd67 ]

build error:
In function ‘eal_plugin_add’,
    .../lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c:225:2:
    error: ‘strncpy’ output may be truncated copying 4095 bytes from a
           string of length 4095 [-Werror=stringop-truncation]
    strncpy(solib->name, path, PATH_MAX-1);

strncpy may result a not null-terminated string,
replaced it with strlcpy

Fixes: f9a08f650211 ("eal: add support for shared object drivers")
