Subject: [RFC PATCH 21/44] eal: remove rte_config structure
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:58:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429165845.2136843-22-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429165845.2136843-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The rte_config structure is no longer used, so remove it, and the
function returning a pointer to it.
In the process, as a general cleanup, remove references to rte_config in
error or info messages where it no longer makes sense to do so.
For example, messages around creating or attaching to the shared memory
config were referencing "rte_config", even though rte_config itself
hasn't been in shared memory.
