Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/3] net/vmxnet3: fix vmxnet3 dev_uninit() hot-unplug
Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2018 18:54:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <AB591D64-0091-4656-A87E-41A5E5949A77@vmware.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1541008002.29722.34.camel@debian.org>

Hey I'm taking paternity leave now so late on response.

The v1 was different from what Thomas asked for and (hw->adapter_stopped == 0) was ignored (see cited below). So we felt uncomfortable about that as there is no guarantee that the device has been closed before calling uninit. Now that you fail the uninit call for non-stopped device and return EBUSY, I'm fine with it.

Regards,
Louis

static int
eth_vmxnet3_dev_uninit(struct rte_eth_dev *eth_dev)
{
-	struct vmxnet3_hw *hw = eth_dev->data->dev_private;
-
	PMD_INIT_FUNC_TRACE();
	if (rte_eal_process_type() != RTE_PROC_PRIMARY)
		return 0;
-	if (hw->adapter_stopped == 0)
-		vmxnet3_dev_close(eth_dev);
-
	eth_dev->dev_ops = NULL;
	eth_dev->rx_pkt_burst = NULL;
	eth_dev->tx_pkt_burst = NULL;

    Sorry, been otherwise busy - I can do what you and Chas have asked, but
    the problem is that v1 already did that and the VMWare maintainers
    asked to change it back. So can I assume that the v1 way is the way to
    go?
