Subject: [DPDK/ethdev Bug 1880] tap: control operations fail if device renamed
Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2026 18:01:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-1880-3@http.bugs.dpdk.org/> (raw)
http://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1880
Bug ID: 1880
Summary: tap: control operations fail if device renamed
Product: DPDK
Version: 25.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: ethdev
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: stephen@networkplumber.org
Target Milestone: ---
The existing TAP PMD code relies on using ifname to track the kernel device.
This is fragile since name can change without DPDK knowing.
Robin raised the issue with netns() usage and containers but the problem is
more general. PMD needs to only use ifindex to find kernel device, then the
special netns code can be removed.
