Thanks for explanation.
Though it seems that the patch while fixing the issue might introduce some inconsistences:
1. right now for i40e: dev_stop(port); dev_start(port) would keep existing HW mirror rule working.
   With your patch is not any more.
2. What about ixgbe? Do we also need to change its behavior?
    As I can see right now ixgbe doesn't reset any mirror rules at dev_stop().
   Would it be reset automatically, or do we need to update ixgbe PMD too?

About #1 - if we'll decide that this is a desired behavior that dev_stop() voids 
all mirror rules, then at least we probably need to update the documentation.
As alternative - at dev_stop() we can reset only actual HW rule, but keep SW configuration intact,
and restore them at dev_start().
I personally think second option is a bit better - as it preserves existing behavior,
and probably more convenient for the user.


About the patch itself, why just not:
while ((p_mirror = TAILQ_FIRST(&pf->mirror_list))) 
    i40e_mirror_rule_reset(dev, p_mirror->index);

?
