[dpdk-dev] 答复： [PATCH] lib/lpm:fix two issues in the delete_depth_small()

[那娜(恒月)]

HI Bruce:    How about this, I send you the test program , then you can demonstrate the bugs .    If you demonstrate the bugs ,then you can get the lpm bug's fix into the release first.        Further ,we explicitly discuss the details about the unit test and make it a patch of dpdk.    Thank you very much!
Regards
Na Na

A patch to add a unit test for the bug would be best.
