Hi Harish,

This issue is not related to the patch, rather to how DPDK and ethdev layer is defined.
In DPDK, after device probe the device is considered usable from ethdev. Then from ethdev the device can be configured (both port and queues) as long as it is not started yet.
The move between device start, stop, port config and queue config can happen multiple times without the need to move through device close.
In fact, the only way to make the device usable again after close is by another probe.

Am not sure I understand. 
You mean it is impossible from your side to detect port configuration in your PMD? Other PMDs do that.

Generally, I think this is a big issue in qede PMD. It is not following the rules of ethdev. 
I guess that with this misfunctionality you will have bugs also with real applications.  

As a temporary walk around you can configure the Tx offload you want through --tx-offloads command line parameter and avoid enablement using the CLI.
This way the port and queues will be reconfigured only once.
