[dpdk-dev] [RFC v2 00/13] Generalize rte_eth_dev model

[Stephen Hemminger]

This set of patches generalize the ethernet device model sufficently
to support virtual, pci, and vmbus devices.

All this is based on the XP principal of only building what is
necessary and no more than that. The rationale is NOT to rework the
DPDK to have same level of bus and parent information as the Linux
device model. This would be unnecessary, fragile and unnecessarily OS
dependent.

Instead, this set of patches does the simple change of refactoring
so that the object relationship between ethernet (rte_eth_dev),
PCI (rte_pci_device) and generic (rte_device) is properly broken
apart.

It does make the simplifying assumption that the device driver knows
what type of bus it is on. For a future case where a device has to
be able to handle different bus families; then the device driver
can have multiple device drivers in one code base (like ixgbe PF/VF).


Jan Blunck (1):
  eal: define container_of macro

Stephen Hemminger (12):
  ethdev: increase length ethernet device internal name
  rte_device: make driver pointer const
  eal: introduce driver type
  pmd: remove useless reset of dev_info->dev_pci
  ethdev: make dev_info generic (not just PCI)
  e1000: localize mapping from eth_dev to pci
  ixgbe: localize mapping from eth_dev to pci_device
  i40e: localize mapping of eth_dev to pci
  virtio: localize mapping from rte_eth to pci
  broadcom: localize mapping from eth_dev to pci
  ethdev: change pci_dev to generic device
  hyperv: VMBUS support infrastucture
