@jafingerhut I am unable to delete table entries on the P4Runtime interface for the DPDK SoftNIC. Even when I read the entries from the table, then try to delete those exact same entries I am getting a "not found" error. Is this a known issue?
The P4Runtme shell code also has the same issue, but it was never uncovered because it was only ever used on tables with no entries.

I can double-check, but if I recall correctly, the current DPDK implementation does not support adding or deleting entries from the control plane specifically for add-on-miss tables. For add-on-miss tables, it only supports adding and deleting entries from the data plane.

Ah good to know. Strangely enough I am able to add entries, but I can not remove them.

@jafingerhut I would like to merge this code before further bitrot sets in. This PR simply cleans up the non-functional PTF DPDK code in the compiler and makes it possible to run it again. The CI tests remain disabled since we have not been able to solve the nondeterministic failures. |
Fixes #4204.
