tap speed argument is not working without generating any error.

This patch sets the configured speed during device start.

Fixes: 02f96a0a82d1 ("net/tap: add TUN/TAP device PMD")

Hi,

The patch looks mainly ok to me.

I'll put some comments inline.

Can you describe the error, paste the log?

I think it would be best to also try setting the speed on the remote
(tap_ioctl(REMOTE_ONLY)), but continue execution even if that fails.

These includes are only useful inside rte_eth_tap.c, I would put them
there only.

Hi Pascal,

It looks like this ioctl fails to set tap speed. And as far as I can see speed
is hardcoded in kernel [1], do you know if it is possible to set speed of tap
interface?

Thanks,
ferruh

Hi Ferruh,

I concur with you, it definitely looks like speed is hardcoded in the
kernel.
And there is no set_settings() callback defined either, so it won't be
possible to set anything using ethtool.

I haven't seen the error and I don't think Vipin Varghese sent a log for
that.
I'm still not sure what the patch was fixing; it would be good to have
that feedback to improve the patch.

Best regards,
Pascal
