You're right, I overlooked it:
+ * The API will stop the port, clear the rx/tx queues, re-setup the rx/tx
+ * queues, restart the port.
Jerin, which detail do you think is needed?
Wenzhuo, why this function is needed?
All these actions are already possible independently.
When looking at ixgbe implementation, I see:
ixgbevf_dev_stats_reset() which is not documented in the API
rte_delay_ms(1000);
do {} while
It looks to be some hacks.
If you really need some workarounds to handle some tricky situations,
maybe that the API is not detailed enough.
> But anyway I'm open for changing the name. Is the name process_reset_intr you prefer? Thanks.
Not sure.
If you really intend to add a generic reset, maybe rte_eth_dev_reset()
is a good name. We just need more justification.
After reading the doc, the user can understand it is just a wrapper of
existing functions. But it appears in the code that it does more and can
help in some situations.
