[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] ethdev port freeing

The function rte_eth_dev_detach() is freeing a port and its underlying
rte_device object. The issue is that we may have several ports
associated to the same rte_device.

The right replacement is to free the port, and free the rte_device
if no more ports.
At ethdev level, the public function for port freeing is rte_eth_dev_close().
The only miss is rte_eth_dev_release_port() to free all port resources.

This patchset does a cleanup by moving as much ethdev data freeing
as possible in an unique function rte_eth_dev_release_port(),
and call this function in rte_eth_dev_close().


Changes in v4:
  - do not free data fields which are not dynamically allocated blocks
  - remove rte_eth_dev_release_port_secondary()
  - remove testpmd check to detach without closing

Changes in v3:
  - free queues, MAC addresses and private structure
    in rte_eth_dev_release_port.


Note: this patchset depends on multi-process hotplug series by Qi Zhang,
which is accepted but waiting for an unrelated DPAA compilation issue
to be fixed, before landing on master tree.


Thomas Monjalon (4):
  app/testpmd: allow detaching a port not closed
  ethdev: free all common data when releasing port
  ethdev: remove release function for secondary process
  ethdev: complete closing of port
