Subject: ipc: handle unsupported IPC in sendmsg
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=144767514e5ee8436f6e5959f95c2c6559f315b3;p=dpdk.git

ipc: handle unsupported IPC in sendmsg

Currently, IPC API will silently ignore unsupported IPC.
Fix the API call and its callers to explicitly handle
unsupported IPC cases.
