Can't it be moved to dev_configure? The framework does not require that the configuration parameters transferred by the dev_configure API must be updated in the interface of driver. The driver can verify the correctness of these parameters in the interface, and then complete the update in the dev_start stage. It depends on the design and need of the driver. Maybe it's more appropriate to put it in dev_configure, but now we can't ask all these drivers to modify the operation. >> >> >>>> >>>> Like: >>>> set nbcore 4 >>>> port stop all >>>> port config 0 dcb vt off 4 pfc on >>>> port start all >>>> port stop all >>>> port config all rxq 8 >>>> port config all txq 8 >>>> >>>> At the moment, a segmentation fault occurs. >>>> >>>> Fixes: ce8d561418d4 ("app/testpmd: add port configuration settings") >>>> Cc: stable@dpdk.org >>>> >>>> Signed-off-by: Huisong Li >>>> Signed-off-by: Lijun Ou >>>> --- >>>> V1->V2: >>>> - use stream instead of flow >>>> --- >>>> app/test-pmd/cmdline.c | 2 -- >>>> 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) >>>> >>>> diff --git a/app/test-pmd/cmdline.c b/app/test-pmd/cmdline.c index >>>> 4df0c32..e316f5c 100644 >>>> --- a/app/test-pmd/cmdline.c >>>> +++ b/app/test-pmd/cmdline.c >>>> @@ -1837,8 +1837,6 @@ cmd_config_rx_tx_parsed(void *parsed_result, >>>> return; >>>> } >>>> >>>> - fwd_config_setup(); >>>> - >>>> init_port_config(); >>>> >>>> cmd_reconfig_device_queue(RTE_PORT_ALL, 1, 1); >>>> -- >>>> 2.7.4 >>> >>> . >>> > . >
