Some ethdev need to use eal event to detect hotplug\nbehaviors, the privors way is register eal event callback in app, but seems\nthat it will have some race between these 2 event processes. In oder to fix\nthe it, it might be better to find a way to combind these 2 events detect.\n\nThis patch set introduce a way to combind these 2 event, by register the\nethdev eal event callback in ether dev and trigger the ethdev hotplug event\nin the callback. That will let the ethdev device can easy process hotplug\nby a common way.\n\nHere let i40e/ixgbe pmd driver for example, other driver which support\nhotplug feature could be use this way to detect and process hotplug.\n\npatch history:\nv4->v3:\nchange to use device event handler install api\n\nv3->v2:\nremove the callback from driver to ethdev for common.\n\nv2->v1:\nadd ixgbe hotplug detect case.\nrefine some doc.\n\n\nJeff Guo (4):\n ethdev: Add eal device event callback\n net/ixgbe: install ethdev hotplug handler in ixgbe\n net/i40e: install hotplug handler in i40e\n testpmd: remove the dev event callback register\n\n app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 76 ----------------------------------\n doc/guides/rel_notes/release_18_08.rst | 12 ++++++\n drivers/net/i40e/i40e_ethdev.c | 8 +++-\n drivers/net/ixgbe/ixgbe_ethdev.c | 8 +++-\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev.c | 59 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n lib/librte_ethdev/rte_ethdev_driver.h | 32 ++++++++++++++\n 6 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 78 deletions(-)" }
