> 
> igb and ixgbe and some other drivers allocate HW rings using
> rte_eth_dma_zone_reserve(), which checks first if the memzone exists for a
> given name, consisting of port id, queue_id, rx/tx direction, but not for the size,
> alignment, and socket_id.
> If the memzone with a given name exists it is returned, otherwise it is
> allocated.
> Disconnecting dpdk port from one type of interface (igb) and connecting it to
> another type of interface (ixgbe) for the same port id, potentially creates
> memory overlap and corruption, because it may require memzone of bigger
> size.
> That's what is happening from switching from igb to ixgbe having the same port
> id.
> 
> v2->v3: Remove #undef ETH_DMA_MZONE_NAME and minor changes in code
> v2->standard
> v1->v2: Minor changes on code standard and additional fixes in i40e em
> v1->and ice drivers
