Subject: kni: reduce interface name size
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8a0415008a699283e76a23cc2e4c09f02ee118e;p=dpdk.git

kni: reduce interface name size

The name in rte_kni_device_info is passed to the kernel, which allows
interface names with at most 16 bytes (IFNAMSIZ). rte_kni_alloc with a
longer name currently trigger a kernel BUG in alloc_netdev_mqs in
net/core/dev.c. Reduce RTE_KNI_NAMESIZE to prevent this situation.
