Bug ID: 21
Summary: Ixgbe driver changes FCTRL without first disabling
RXCTRL.RXEN
Product: DPDK
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: solal.pire...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The Intel 82599 data sheet
(https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/82599-10-gbe-controller-datasheet.pdf,
ยง8.2.3.7.1) states that "Before receive filters are updated/modified the
RXCTRL.RXEN bit should be set to 0b. After the proper filters have been set the
RXCTRL.RXEN bit can be set to 1b to re-enable the receiver."
However, the ixgbe driver's promiscuous and allmulticast enable/disable
functions edit the FCTRL filters without disabling (or at least checking)
RXCTRL.RXEN. (e.g.
