[PATCH 1/4] app/testpmd: fix stats-period option check

[David Marchand]

Rather than silently ignore an invalid value, raise an error for
stats-period user input.

[PATCH 2/4] app/testpmd: fix burst option parsing

[David Marchand]

rte_eth_dev_info_get() is not supposed to fail for a valid port_id, but
for the theoretical case when it would fail, raise an error rather than
skip subsequent options.

'eth_dev_info_get_print_err()' already fail, but it may not be very
clear to the user,
OK to print a failure log, but setting 'rec_nb_pkts = 0;' as above also
will generate an error message that also may be confusing to the user.

What about print an explicit error message for the
'eth_dev_info_get_print_err()' failed case?

rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE, "Failed to retrieve device info, this is
probably a driver bug. "
        "To workaround this issue, please provide a value between 1
and %d\n", MAX_PKT_BURST);

Does it work for you?

'eth_dev_info_get_print_err()' already logs error about getting device
info, but driver recommended 'burst' setting failed information is missing.

What about more direct,
"Failed to get driver recommended burst size, please provide a value
between 1 and MAX_PKT_BURST"

Which is really close to the existing log message.

                                        if (rec_nb_pkts == 0)
                                                rte_exit(EXIT_FAILURE,
                                                        "PMD does not
recommend a burst size. "
                                                        "Provided
value must be between "
                                                        "1 and %d\n",
MAX_PKT_BURST);

I am unconvinced, but if you think strongly for this, I won't debate more.

Yes it is close, and I don't have strong opinion on this,

But existing message says "PMD does not recommend a burst size.", I
think this may be confusing for user.

If I see that message I would either debug relevant driver code or
communicate with driver maintainer for it. But that is not the case,
just failed to get recommended burst size and problem is in testpmd.

Anyway, my concern is existing message can be misleading for user.

Maybe shorter:

[PATCH v2 1/6] app/testpmd: fix stats-period option check

[David Marchand]

Rather than silently ignore an invalid value, raise an error for
stats-period user input.

[PATCH v2 2/6] app/testpmd: fix burst option parsing

[David Marchand]

rte_eth_dev_info_get() is not supposed to fail for a valid port_id, but
for the theoretical case when it would fail, raise an error rather than
skip subsequent options.

[PATCH v2 3/6] app/testpmd: fix error message for invalid option

[David Marchand]

"""
The variable optind is the index of the next element to be processed in
argv.  The system initializes this value to 1.  The caller can reset it
to 1 to restart scanning of the same argv, or when scanning a new
argument vector.
"""

Hence, if an invalid option is passed through testpmd cmdline, getopt
returns '?' and increments optind to the next index in argv for a
subsequent call.
The message should log the previous index.
