[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 07/11] kvargs: be strict when matching a key

[Olivier Matz]

When we match a key in is_valid_key() and rte_kvargs_process(), do a
strict comparison (strcmp()) instead of using strstr(s1, s2) which tries
a find s1 in s2. This old behavior could lead to unexpected match, for
instance "cola" match "chocolate".

Surprisingly, no patch was needed on rte_kvargs_count() as it already
used strcmp().
