From: Adrien Mazarguil Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 15:34:58 +0000 (+0100) Subject: net/mlx5: spawn rdma-core dependency plug-in X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=59b91bec12c6;p=dpdk.git net/mlx5: spawn rdma-core dependency plug-in When mlx5 is not compiled directly as an independent shared object (e.g. CONFIG_RTE_BUILD_SHARED_LIB not enabled for performance reasons), DPDK applications inherit its dependencies on libibverbs and libmlx5 through rte.app.mk. This is an issue both when DPDK is delivered as a binary package (Linux distributions) and for end users because rdma-core then propagates as a mandatory dependency for everything. Application writers relying on binary DPDK packages are not necessarily aware of this fact and may end up delivering packages with broken dependencies. This patch therefore introduces an intermediate internal plug-in hard-linked with rdma-core (to preserve symbol versioning) loaded by the PMD through dlopen(), so that a missing rdma-core does not cause unresolved symbols, allowing applications to start normally.
