I think it's not a good change, because it will break the idea of this patch -
http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=ac5e1d83
<http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/commit/?id=ac5e1d83>
Also, with your patch the application will not start, because rte_eal_pci_probe
will fail:
if (ret < 0)
rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Requested device " PCI_PRI_FMT
" cannot be used\n", dev->addr.domain, dev->addr.bus,
dev->addr.devid, dev->addr.function);
And now I think that maybe we should change the way rte_eal_pci_probe works.
I think we shouldn't stop the application if just one of PCI devices is not
probed successfully.
