Hi all, I'm using DPDK-21.11 in ovs-dpdk. I found a "bonding member delete bug" . 1. How to reproduce ``` NOTICE: bondctl is a tool I develop, it's to control DPDK. ### step 1, Add bonding device bond0. bondctl add bond0 mode active-backup ### step 2, Add member m1 into bond0. bondctl set 0000:00:0a.0 master bond0 ### step 3, Add bond0 into ovs bridge. ovs-vsctl add-port brp0 bond0 -- set interface bond0 type=dpdk options:dpdk-devargs=net_bonding-bond0 (this command call @bond_ethdev_start at last.) ### step 4, Delete bond0 from ovs bridge. ovs-vsctl del-port br-phy bond0 (this command call @bond_ethdev_stop at last.) ### step 5, Delete m1 from bond0. bondctl set 0000:00:0a.0 nomaster ### step 6, Delete bond0. bondctl del bond0 ### step 7, Add bond0. bondctl add bond0 mode active-backup ### step 8, Add member m1 into bond0. bondctl set 0000:00:0a.0 master bond0 (this command call @bond_ethdev_start at last.) ### Then got error message. 2023-12-15T08:24:04.153Z|00017|dpdk|ERR|Port 0 must be stopped to allow configurr ation 2023-12-15T08:24:04.153Z|00018|dpdk|ERR|bond_cmd_set_master(581) - can not confii g slave 0000:00:0a.0! ``` 2. Debug I found the reason is, when member port is DOWN, then add operation will call "eth_dev->data->dev_started = 1;", but no one add active member port, so when delete bond0, will NOT call @rte_eth_dev_stop, then add bond0 again, got error. Detail is: ``` ### After step 1-3, add bond0 into ovs-dpdk bond_ethdev_start eth_dev->data->dev_started = 1; for (i = 0; i < internals->slave_count; i++) { if (slave_configure(eth_dev, slave_ethdev) != 0) { if (slave_start(eth_dev, slave_ethdev) != 0) { rte_eth_dev_start ### NOTICE, as member port is DOWN, so will NOT call @activate_slave, so @active_slave_count is 0. bond_ethdev_lsc_event_callback activate_slave(bonded_eth_dev, port_id); ### After step 4, delete bond0 from ovs-dpdk, NOTICE, as @active_slave_count is 0, so will NOT call @rte_eth_dev_stop bond_ethdev_stop for (i = 0; i < internals->slave_count; i++) { if (find_slave_by_id(internals->active_slaves, internals->active_slave_count, slave_id) != internals->active_slave_count) { ret = rte_eth_dev_stop(slave_id); ### After step 5-7, delete bond0 and then add bond0 ### After step 8, add bond0, as it's NOT call @rte_eth_dev_stop, so call @rte_eth_dev_start again will got error. 2023-12-15T08:24:04.153Z|00017|dpdk|ERR|Port 0 must be stopped to allow configurr ation ``` 3. My question Is this bug fixed ? Which commit ? If NOT, how to fix this bug? I think it's better to call @rte_eth_dev_stop for every member, even it's DOWN. How about this? Thanks~ ---- Simon Jones
