Thanks Igor for your comments!

A good point on the first item.
For the second question, I walked through device initialization routines to see any other potential issue.
I found one case where index 0 is still required to replay MAC address; ex) MAC address change on the PHY port – index 0
No code path was found to restore a changed MAC value with index 0. Therefore, we may have to use the existing rte_eth_dev_config_restore() function to replay 0 indexed MAC.
Currently rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set() is called to program PHY MAC without setting mac_pool_sel for 0 index.
So the following code is also required inside rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set() routine as a complete solution:
@@ -2237,6 +2234,9 @@ struct rte_eth_dev *

        (*dev->dev_ops->mac_addr_set)(dev, addr);

+       /* Update pool bitmap in NIC data structure */
+       dev->data->mac_pool_sel[0] = 1;
+
        return 0;

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] lib/librte_ether: error handling on MAC address replay

Hello Steve,

Thank you for the patch.

I think a couple of improvements can be done:
1. Function existence check – if (*dev->dev_ops->mac_addr_add) – can be taken out of the loop. We don't need to check it on each iteration.
2. I'm not completely sure, but I think loop can be started from 1, not from 0, because mac_pool_sel[0] is always zero. Am I right?

Best regards,
Igor

Can you please add the above line as part of comment?

Thanks,
