This patch initiate refactoring of Virtio PCI, by introducing a new device structure for PCI-specific metadata.This works, but this patch seems artificial. The eth_virtio_dev_init expects dev->data->dev_private to be a virtio_hw object. You can introduce this later in the series when really needed.I propose to squash it into patch 5, which moves PCI specific init to a dedicated file. Is that OK for you?
Or leave this commit like this but add a check on the virtio_hw field being the first field of the bus specific objects. Something like: RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON(offsetof(struct virtio_pci_dev, hw) != 0); + the same with virtio_user in the relevant patch. -- David Marchand
