[PATCH v4 0/2] introduce if_index in device info

[PATCH v4 0/2] introduce if_index in device info

[liljegren.mats2-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w]

Changes since v1:
- Split into two patches: Generic and pcap specific.
- Changed interface name to interface index

Changes since v2:
- Interface index is now unsigned
- Value 0 used as error rather than 0
- Added missing include of net/if.h in rte_eth_pcap.c
- Declared struct args_dict in rte_eth_pcap.h

Changes since v3:
- Changed commit messages
- Removed compiler warning about unused variable pair

[PATCH v4 1/2] ethdev: introduce if_index in device info

[liljegren.mats2-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w]

From: Mats Liljegren <mats.liljegren-AM1FMPraTHU@public.gmane.org>

This field is intended for pcap to describe the name of the interface
as known to Linux. It is an interface index, but can be translated into
an interface name using if_indextoname() function.

When using pcap, interrupt affinity becomes important, and this field
gives the application a chance to ensure that interrupt affinity is set
to the lcore handling the device.

Acked and applied with a typo fixed.

[PATCH v4 2/2] pcap: save if_index of the bound device

[liljegren.mats2-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w]

From: Mats Liljegren <mats.liljegren-AM1FMPraTHU@public.gmane.org>

Use command line parameters to get the name of the interface.
This name is converted into if_index, which is provided as
device info.
