Re: [dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4] net/ixgbe: fix flow ctrl mode setting

["Zhao1, Wei" <wei.zhao1@intel.com>]

Hi，guinan

	More info for this problem:
If some user set mac_ctrl_frame_fwd to 1 from fc ops, then he do a port reset process of
"
1. testpmd> start
2. testpmd> set flow_ctrl mac_ctrl_frame_fwd on 0
3. testpmd> stop
4. testpmd> port stop 0
5. testpmd> port start 0
6. testpmd> start
"
Then after this process, the mac_ctrl_frame_fwd has been change to "off", 
so we should delete " adapter->mac_ctrl_frame_fwd = 0;" from dev-stop.
  
Another problem is "add mac_ctrl_frame_fwd in ixgbe_flow_ctrl_get() for FC info get", it is
Independent on the above one.
