According to exist implementation, rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup will always return fail if device is already started(rte_eth_dev_start).
This can't satisfied the usage when application want to deferred setup part of the queues while keep traffic running on those queues already be setup. example: rte_eth_dev_config(nb_rxq = 2, nb_txq =2) rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...) rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx = 0 ...) rte_eth_dev_start(...) /* [rx|tx]_burst is ready to start on queue 0 */ rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(idx=1 ...) /* fail*/ Basically this is not a general hardware limitation, because for NIC like i40e, ixgbe, it is not necessary to stop the whole device before configure a fresh queue or reconfigure an exist queue with no traffic on it. The patch add new device capability bit into dev_info, so rte_eth_[rx|tx]_queue_setup will able to started.
