I have the same comment than what Ali tried with: https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/[email protected]/ I would prefer we don't rely on the content of symbols (that we don't know anything about) when we can filter on the symbol names exactly which is something DPDK controls. My suggestion is to filter symbol *names* with regex ^this_pmd_name[0-9]+$. -- David Marchand
