[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] kni: support for MAC addr change

Hemant Agrawal hemant.agrawal at nxp.com
Thu Nov 30 12:46:05 CET 2017


This patch adds following:
1. Option to configure the mac address during create. Generate random
   address only if the user has not provided any valid address.
2. Inform usespace, if mac address is being changed in linux.
3. Implement default handling of mac address change in the corresponding
   ethernet device.
