Currently, if we call rte_eth_dev_stop(), the sockets are closed. If we attempt to start the port again, socket related operations will not work correctly.
This can be alleviated by closing the socket at the same place in which we currently free the memory, in eth_dev_close(). If an application calls rte_eth_dev_stop() on a port managed by the af_packet PMD, the port becomes unusable. This is in contrast with ports managed by other drivers (e.g virtio). I also managed to reproduce the issue using testpmd. sudo ip link add test-veth0 type veth peer name test-veth1 sudo ip link set test-veth0 up sudo ip link set test-veth1 up AF_PACKET_ARGS=\ "blocksz=4096,framesz=2048,framecnt=512,qpairs=1,qdisc_bypass=0" sudo ./dpdk-testpmd \ -l 0-3 \ -m 1024 \ --no-huge \ --no-shconf \ --no-pci \ --vdev=net_af_packet0,iface=test-veth0,${AF_PACKET_ARGS} \ --vdev=net_af_packet1,iface=test-veth1,${AF_PACKET_ARGS} \ -- \ -i testpmd> start tx_first Forwarding will start, and we will see traffic on the interfaces. testpmd> stop testpmd> port stop 0 Stopping ports...
