Subject: [PATCH v2] examples/kni: clear warning about discarding const qualifier
Date: Wed,  1 Jun 2022 05:45:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220601054525.7573-1-ke1x.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220531091330.230715-1-ke1x.zhang@intel.com>

The warning info:
warning: passing argument 1 of ‘memcpy’ discards ‘const’
qualifier from pointer target type

Variable is done const intentionally to prevent using it
directly, using the new helper functions :
'eth_hw_addr_set()' and 'eth_hw_addr_random()'

Fixes: ea6b39b5b847 ("kni: remove ethtool support")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
