Hi Ferruh,
We had looked at providing this patch as an LTS backport, but there are some ties to FPGA firmware which complicate its application.  As this is a uncommon net/ark feature we support users on an as-needed basis.
Thanks.
Ed.

Hi Ed,

As far as I can see "single function with multiple port" support was
already there but this commit is fixing queue index usage for it, if
correct can you please update commit log accordingly? (with fixes line
etc..)
This also helps the fix to be backported to LTS versions.


btw, how this feature was working until now, when queue ids "0 to
ark_api_num_queues_per_port()" used for each port?
Was it not tested at all, or is there something changed in FW causing
this issue, if so is there any FW version dependency to this change?

These each are a new eth_dev, so nothing wrong for each to allocate
device private data, but if the only difference in private data is
'ark->qbase', it is possible to use 'eth_dev->process_private' for it,
which is per eth_dev. It is up to you.


Btw, how there are handled in the secondary process? (previous patch)
Since this code just creates new eth_dev, shouldn't secondary process
needs some code to find and re-use them?

it looks like 'num_queues' only used locally and not needed to be part
of device data, unless there is some more usage planned for future.
