[PATCH 1/4] ethdev: skip VMDq pools unless configured

David Marchand david.marchand at redhat.com
Fri Apr 3 11:18:32 CEST 2026


The mac_addr_add API describes that only the 0 pool should be passed
unless VMDq has been enabled, though there was no validation so far.
Add such a check, then cleanup the related operations (adding, removing,
restoring).

As a side effect, the net/cnxk does not need to manually reset the
mac_pool_sel[] array.
