> Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] testpmd: force user to stop forwarding when
> changing port/core list
>
> Testpmd has the capability of changing the forwarding cores and ports in
> runtime.
> If these are changed when forwarding, two issues may be encountered:
>
> - If "show config fwd" is used, changes made in the core list are applied.
> Therefore, trying to stop forwarding may hang testpmd,
> since it could be waiting for cores to stop that are not actually running
> anything
>
> - If the port list is changed, when stopping forwarding,
> it may miss the stats of some of the ports that were actually being used.
