It is therefore required to release the eth device resources during an eth device close operation rather than during an rte device removal (detach) operation. In current version many PMDs are still releasing the eth device as part of the rte device removal. In order to allow a smooth transition for all PMDs to behave correctly an ethdev flag RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE is used. When this flag is set it indicates to rte_eth_dev_close() to call rte_eth_dev_release_port(), so the port is freed during the close operation.
