According to exist implementation,rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup will
always return fail if device is already started(rte_eth_dev_start).
This can't satisfied the usage when application want to deferred setup
part of the queues while keep traffic running on those queues already
be setup.
example:
rte_eth_dev_config(nb_rxq = 2, nb_txq =2)
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...)
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...)
rte_eth_dev_start(...) /* [rx|tx]_burst is ready to start on queue 0 */
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx=1 ...) /* fail*/
Basically this is not a general hardware limitation, because for NIC
like i40e, ixgbe, it is not necessary to stop the whole device before
configure a fresh queue or reconfigure an exist queue with no traffic
on it.
The patch let etherdev driver expose the capability flag through
rte_eth_dev_info_get when it support deferred queue configuraiton,
then base on these flag, rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup could decide
continue to setup the queue or just return fail when device already
started.
