[PATCH v1] net/vdev_netvsc: fix creating short name devices

[PATCH v1] net/vdev_netvsc: fix creating short name devices

[Ophir Munk]

Prior to this commit the vdev_netvsc PMD was creating tap and failsafe
devices with long names, such as "net_tap_net_vdev_netvsc0" or
"net_failsafe_net_vdev_netvsc0".
Long names containing more than 32 characters may be rejected by some
APIs (e.g. membuf pool creation).
This commits fixes this issue by creating tap and failsafe devices
with short names such as "tap_net_vsc0" or "net_failsafe_vsc0".

Fixes: e7dc5d7becc5 ("net/vdev_netvsc: implement core functionality")

Since EAL allows to use long names, I don't think it is a problem of the netvsc device.
If a DPDK entity wants to use this name for some reason it needs to adjust it to the usage. 

I agree that short names are better and may help for such like cases.

I suggest the next title:
net/vdev_netvsc: use short device names

Hi. 
Discussed with Thomas.
Please consider the following commit message:

net/vdev_netvsc: shorten devices names

Prior to this commit the vdev_netvsc PMD was creating tap and failsafe
devices with long names, such as "net_tap_net_vdev_netvsc0" or
"net_failsafe_net_vdev_netvsc0".
This commits creates tap and failsafe devices with short names such as
"net_tap_netvsc0" or "net_failsafe_netvsc0".

Don't forget? Should fixes line be removed, why?

Applied to dpdk-next-net/master, thanks.

(used suggested commit title/log [1])

net/vdev_netvsc: shorten devices names

Prior to this commit the vdev_netvsc PMD was creating tap and failsafe
devices with long names, such as "net_tap_net_vdev_netvsc0" or
"net_failsafe_net_vdev_netvsc0".
This commits creates tap and failsafe devices with short names such as
"net_tap_netvsc0" or "net_failsafe_netvsc0".
