Subject: [PATCH 2/2] net/sfc: provide cached dev info to use in secondary process
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2026 17:03:14 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260820130314.12251-3-ivan.malov@arknetworks.am> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260820130314.12251-1-ivan.malov@arknetworks.am>
Secondary process support in the 'test-pmd' application now requires that
the driver expose the 'dev_infos_get' method within that context. Use the
cached dev info from the primary process in order to meet the requirement.
