Yes, I think so.
If so, shouldn't be preferable the caller passes features pointer as argument?
I thought of that. The reason I did that is to keep the semantics with rte_vhost_driver_get_feature(path). But you are right, we don't have to follow that. More importantly, we may also need change the return value of rte_vhost_driver_get_features(path): which could also fail if 'path' is not found. --yliu
