Hello, Following TB decision and recent discussions on the driver specific commands in testpmd, here is a proposal on how the split could be done.
For now, this series simply moves the testpmd code in the driver directory. The driver specific testpmd code is still compiled as part of testpmd compilation via a global meson testpmd_driver_sources list. TODO: - ixgbe bypass commands in testpmd are "dead" code since switch to meson, as the RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_BYPASS define is not set while compiling testpmd. I am tempted to simply drop those, since no one complained about issue for the last two years. For now, this series reinstates them. - this series keeps the command names as is. We could consolidate with a clear prefix so that users directly know they are exerting a special feature that makes no sense on other hw. For this, I had in mind introducing a "driver" top level prefix, where drivers would hook their specific stuff. For example: testpmd> driver ixgbe set vf split drop (port_id) (vf_id) (on|off) - the documentation of those commands is left untouched, we should probably move any existing doc into the driver documentation itself. testpmd documentation could then have a generic "Driver specific commands" section pointing at all other driver docs.
