Hi Ilya,

This patch does not apply to head of master, currently "c899576 build-windows: cccl fail compilation on Wimplicit-function-declaration". 

I'll don't have any comments on the code right now but if you can tell me the commit it's based on I'll check it out.  

Thanks,
Billy

> 
> 	1. Different API for usual (system) and DPDK devices.
> 	   (We have to call 'ovs-appctl netdev-dpdk/detach' each
> 	    time after 'del-port' to actually free the device)
> 	   This is a big issue mostly for virtual DPDK devices.
> 
> 	2. Follows from 1:
> 	   For DPDK devices 'del-port' leads just to
> 	   'rte_eth_dev_stop' and subsequent 'add-port' will
> 	   just start the already existing device. Such behaviour
> 	   will not reset the device to initial state as it could
> 	   be expected. For example: virtual pcap pmd will continue
> 	   reading input file instead of reading it from the beginning.
> 
> 	3. Follows from 2:
> 	   After execution of the following commands 'port1' will be
> 	   configured with the 'old-options' while 'ovs-vsctl show'
> 	   will show us 'new-options' in dpdk-devargs field:
> 
> 	     ovs-vsctl add-port port1 -- set interface port1 type=dpdk \
> 	               options:dpdk-devargs=<eth_pmd_name1>,<old-options>
> 	     ovs-vsctl del-port port1
> 	     ovs-vsctl add-port port1 -- set interface port1 type=dpdk \
> 	               options:dpdk-devargs=<eth_pmd_name1>,<new-options>
> 
> 	4. Follows from 1:
> 	   Not detached device consumes 'port_id'. Since we have very
> 	   limited number of 'port_id's (32 in common case) this may
> 	   lead to quick exhausting of id pool and inability to add any
> 	   other port.
> 
> To avoid above issues we need to detach all the attached devices on port
> destruction.
> appctl 'netdev-dpdk/detach' removed because not needed anymore.
> 
> We need to use internal 'attached' variable to track ports on which
> rte_eth_dev_attach() was called and returned successfully to avoid closing
> and detaching devices that do not support hotplug or by any other reason
> attached using the 'dpdk-extra' cmdline options.
