l2fwd patch to demonstrate issue
When a PCAP PMD Ethernet device is first configured, the selected number of RX
and TX queues overrides the max values initially returned by
rte_eth_dev_info_get() (max_rx_queues, max_tx_queues). Now, if one tries to
reconfigure the device with a larger queue count(s), rte_eth_dev_configure()
will fail to an internal capability check. Reconfiguring devices this way is
useful for example in CI usage.
The issue can be reproduced with the attached simple patch to l2fwd example.
Example output from patched l2fwd (v22.11.4):
$ sudo ./examples/dpdk-l2fwd --no-pci --vdev net_pcap0,iface=lo -- -p 0x1
