There was a test to forbid detaching before closing a port.
However, it may interesting to test what happens in such case.
It is possible for a PMD to automatically close the port when detaching.
Yes. In the case of net/sfc it requires a patch to call sfc_dev_close()
from uninit. I think network PMD maintainers should be notified
to double-check drivers.
in order to avoid a crash, it is checked that the port must be stopped
before detaching (as for closing).
I thought that it is sufficient to stop traffic and the port may be stopped
automatically by PMD. Not sure about it, just would like to clarify my
previous notes.
