Is there any requirements to the order the application must call rte_eth_rx_queue_setup() and rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()?

I.e. does it work if rte_eth_tx_queue_setup() is called before rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(), and in the opposite order?


Although the ethdev documentation says:

"The functions exported by the application Ethernet API to setup a device designated by its port identifier must be invoked in the following order:

rte_eth_dev_configure()
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
rte_eth_dev_start()",

I would assume the order of calling rte_eth_tx_queue_setup() and rte_eth_rx_queue_setup() doesn't matter.


And the rte_eth_dev_reset() function documentation has rx/tx queue setup in the opposite order:

"After calling rte_eth_dev_reset(), the application should use rte_eth_dev_configure(), rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(), rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(), and rte_eth_dev_start() to reconfigure the device as appropriate."
