This patch series attempts to address the special failure cases of rte_eth_dev_stop() and rte_eth_dev_start().
In case of starting a port, If the port cannot be started and start operation must be retried, PMDs might return (-EAGAIN) to notify about such situation. In case of stopping a port, If the port cannot be stopped in the current state, PMDs might return (-EBUSY) to notify about such situation. These cases are addressed in ethdev API docs. Testpmd is updated to allow users to manually retry start/stop operations. v3: - Allow to retry port stop in testpmd for all errors. - Made error descriptions in the API more generic and moved specific error causes descriptions to PMD. v2: - Fixed documentation build.
