  With the latest published interface of
rte_eal_hotplug_[add,remove](), and rte_eth_dev_close(),
rte_eth_dev_close() would cleanup all the data structures of
port's eth dev leaving the device common resource intact
if RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE is set in dev flags.
So "port detach" (~hotplug remove) should be able to work,
with device identifier like "port attach" as eth_dev could have
been closed already and rte_eth_devices[port_id] reused.

This change alters "port detach" cmdline interface to
work with device identifier like "port attach".

"port attach" uses devargs as identifier because there
is no port id before creating it. But "detach port" uses
logically the port id to close.

The word "port" means an ethdev port, so it should be
referenced with a port id.
If you want to close an EAL rte_device, then you should
rename the command.
But testpmd purpose should be to work with ethdev ports only.

PS: Please remind that a device can have multiple ports.

But if "port close" was already called on that port,
eth_dev->state would be set as RTE_ETH_DEV_UNUSED and
that port id could be reused.
So after "port close" if we call "port detach", isn't it
incorrect to use the same port id ?

Renaming the command to "detach <identifier>" ?

Yes it is incorrect to close a port which is already closed :)

Yes something like that.
But why do you want to manage rte_device in testpmd?
Being able to close ports in not enough?
Please describe a scenario.

We just want to support testing hotplug detach along with
hotplug attach from testpmd. Currently there is no way to detach
if we close the port first.

Another reason is that in our new PMD, for detaching one specific port,
we need more than one try as the PMD might return -EAGAIN.
So with the current "port detach" implementation, after closing the port,
if PMD returns -EAGAIN for rte_dev_remove() call, there is no way to
try it again.

This is a bug.
Should we catch -EAGAIN somewhere?

So can I send next revision with command renamed to "detach <identifier>" ?

It is already caught in local_dev_remove() and
rte_dev_remove() fails. Only problem as I said below is
in testpmd if first call to detach_port_device() i.e handler of "port detach", 
rte_dev_remove() returns -EAGAIN and PMD cleaned up the resources partially like eth_dev
resources, the second time call cannot work port_id will not be valid anymore.

Any info on this ? I can even add it as another cmd without disturbing existing
command if needed.

This sounds better option to me. I see the need to remove device via
'identifier' but also still it is easier to use 'port_id' for removal when
applicable, so I am for keeping it.

What do you think adding a new command:
'device detach'

Also testpmd doesn't dead with 'device' much, it mainly works in port level,
because of this does it make sense to add another command something like:
"show device info all"
