[dpdk-dev] IGB_UIO port unbinding

[Burakov, Anatoly]

Hi everyone

As you may or may not know, the CONFIG_RTE_EAL_UNBIND_PORTS was deprecated in the official Intel(r) DPDK 1.6.0 release package. However, the code itself (e.g. in lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal_pci.c and other places) to support that config option was not removed. My question would be, would anyone be opposed to a patch to remove that code entirely? E.g. does anyone use that functionality?

Best regards,
Anatoly Burakov
DPDK SW Engineer
