[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 00/13] net/sfc: fix device reconfigure

[Andrew Rybchenko]

When I implemented initial version of the driver I had incorrect
understanding of the required state transition to reconfigure
device. It was assumed that close is required before reconfigure.
Looking at description in rte_ethdev.h, rte_eth_dev_close()
description and rte_eth_dev_configure() implementation I see that
I was wrong.

If reconfigure attempt is done without the patch series, testpmd
crashes on segmentation fault. The patch series fixes it. So,
technically it is a bug fix, but unfortunately pretty big.

The patch series should be applied after [1] (patch [2]).

Testing the patch requires [3] (patch [4]). Intel compilation of
the patch fails since it is applied to dpdk.git tree instead of
dpdk-next-net.git.
