[PATCH v4 02/10] ethdev: skip VMDq pools unless configured
David Marchand

Thu Jul 9 18:02:38 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 MAC related operations (adding,
removing, restoring).
As a side effect, the net/cnxk does not need to manually reset the
mac_pool_sel[] array.

Changes since v3:
- updated doxygen comments,
Changes since v2:
- added an entry in release notes,
- fixed duplicate mac address handling for !vmdq,
- rewrote update of eth_dev_mac_restore to isolate the !vmdq case,

* At port configuration time, the number of VMDq pools advertised by a driver is now used to
validate VMDq related Rx and Tx modes (``RTE_ETH_MQ_RX_VMDQ_FLAG``, ``RTE_ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_DCB``,
``RTE_ETH_MQ_TX_VMDQ_ONLY``).
+ * A check was added in ``rte_eth_dev_mac_addr_add`` to validate that the ``pool`` parameter is 0
+ when VMDq is not configured.
* **mlx5: promoted driver event and steering management APIs from experimental to stable.**
