  Device iterator RTE_DEV_FOREACH() failed to return devices from
classifier like "class=vdpa", because matching name from empty kvargs
returns no result. If device name not specified in kvargs, the function
should iterate all devices.

This patch allows empty devargs or devargs without name specified.

Fixes: 6aebb942907d ("kvargs: add function to get from key and value")

Thank you for spotting and fixing this issue. The patch looks good to
me, but may I suggest an alternative that would avoid to browse the
kvlist twice? It is not yes tested, just for discussion. The idea
is to add an errno for error cases of rte_kvargs_get_with_value()
to identify the different cases.

Let me know if it would work for you. I can submit a patch if you want.

I can add a unit test for kvargs, but do you know where we could add a
unit test for the dev iterate?

Thanks,

Yes, the code walk the kvlist twice. An alternative complex code could
be this:

	if (kvlist == NULL)
		return 0;
	name = rte_kvargs_get(kvlist, key);
	if (name == NULL)
		/* Iterate all devices if name not specified. */
		return 0;
	if (strcmp(name, dev->name) != 0)
  		return -1;

rte_errno == ENODEV? we should allow ENOENT - name not specified.

Same, ENODEV? which means name specified but not match.

LGTM, let's use your patch.

Good idea, how about test_devargs.c?

Maybe it is equivalent for common usages, but a difference is that
rte_kvargs_get_with_value(kvlist, "key", "value2") also matches
a kvlist="key=value1,key=value2" (i.e. the case where the key appears
several times with different values).

I think the patch is correct: the item is filtered only if there is no
matching key/value tuple, but the key is found.

If kvlist is NULL (rte_errno=EINVAL), or if the key does not exist
(rte_errno=ENODEV), we return 0.

As a side note, there is an errno ENOKEY, which would be much better
than ENODEV... but it seems it is not POSIX, so it may not exist on
FreeBSD or Windows.

I'm trying my patch, but I run into an issue.
Currently, EAL already depends on kvargs.
If I add a reference to rte_errno from kvargs, it will require a
new dependency to EAL... which is impossible.

Using errno instead of rte_errno is not usual in DPDK.
Having a typedef for this is not very convenient either.

So thinking more about it, your solution looks better.

I have a draft of unit test, I'll send an update of your patch including
it ASAP.

V2 sent, please check.
Unit test not critical, could be sent later IIUC.
