[dpdk-dev,PATCHv4,2/9] null: fix segfault when null_pmd added to bonding

When device is added to the bonding, the link status callback is added to
the slave's eth_dev->link_intr_cbs list. This list is not initialized for
null pmd and adding it to the bonding segfaults application.

This patch allocates and sets up required structures.

Hi Tomasz,

Thanks for extending null pmd features.
Is it possible to use rte_null_pmd here?
Could you please check ring pmd? It may also uses rte_ring_pmd for link
status callback.

My first attempt was to use ring pmd, and there's no such an issue with it. It works pretty well in bonding.

Tomasz.

HI Tomasz,


Sorry, my English is wrong.
'rte_null_pmd' is defined like below.

static struct eth_driver rte_null_pmd = {
        .pci_drv = {
                .name = "rte_null_pmd",
                .drv_flags = RTE_PCI_DRV_DETACHABLE,
        },
};

I guess you may be able to use 'rte_null_pmd' instead of allocating one
more eth_driver structure like below.

    struct eth_driver *eth_drv = NULL;
    eth_drv = rte_zmalloc_socket(name, sizeof(*eth_drv), 0, numa_node);

Is it possible to use 'rte_null_pmd'?

Yes, you're right. This malloc can be removed.
