From: Ciara Power Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2020 13:39:44 +0000 (+0000) Subject: ethdev: add comment to warn of ABI breakage X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=888683110dc766b6907d2686c912e5189e3312ab;p=dpdk.git ethdev: add comment to warn of ABI breakage If a function is added to the eth_dev_ops struct before tx_descriptor_status function, this will cause ABI breakage. This is due to static inline functions using this function, and some other functions above it in the struct, so they cannot change position. A comment is added to inform developers of this possible breakage.
