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.
