[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/5] ethdev: Port ownership

[Matan Azrad]

Add ownership mechanism to DPDK Ethernet devices to avoid multiple
management of a device by different DPDK entities as discussed in:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-September/074656.html

Adjusts failsafe and testpmd to use it.

Matan Azrad (5):
  ethdev: free a port by a dedicated API
  ethdev: add port ownership
  net/failsafe: free an eth port by a dedicated API
  net/failsafe: use ownership mechanism to own ports
  app/testpmd: adjust ethdev port ownership
