One quick question for this change. How can we test the softnic PMD without this mode? The softnic PMD guidance uses testpmd softnic mode in the PMD test section. However, when I switch the forward mode from softnic to IO mode, the testpmd cannot work as expected. I think you need to update the softnic PMD page as well. doc/guides/nics/softnic.rst Thanks, Phil > Signed-off-by: Jasvinder Singh <jasvinder.si...@intel.com> > Acked-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitre...@intel.com> > --- > app/test-pmd/Makefile | 4 - > app/test-pmd/cmdline.c | 82 --- > app/test-pmd/config.c | 56 -- > app/test-pmd/meson.build | 4 - > app/test-pmd/softnicfwd.c | 686 -------------------- > app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 16 - > app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 22 - > doc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst | 10 - > 8 files changed, 880 deletions(-) > delete mode 100644 app/test-pmd/softnicfwd.c <snip> IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
