- Around line 418-423: Update the device-state save flow around devicestate.Save

OriginalDriver, and MTU fields, and replace only Addresses before saving. Keep
the existing error wrapping and accelerated-to-TAP teardown behavior unchanged.
- Around line 154-180: Update UnderlayInterfaces to merge grout-derived records
with existing hostnetwork records by interface name instead of appending
duplicates. When names match, retain the existing CNIDev and DPDK metadata while

Add the documented DPDK runtime configuration to both deployment templates.
When a physical acceleratedConfig underlay is used, the Grout container must run without --test-mode. Both templates currently omit privileged: true, the hugepages-1Gi request and limit, and the HugePages volume and mount. The /dev/vfio mount alone does not provide the documented non-test DPDK runtime. Apply these settings to charts/openperouter/templates/router.yaml and operator/bindata/deployment/openperouter/templates/router.yaml, while preserving the existing test-mode path for non-accelerated TAP deployments.

@zeeke, understood. The current Grout deployment stays in --test-mode, so this finding remains open for the follow-up work.
Would you like me to open a GitHub issue for the user-controlled non-test DPDK and hugepages configuration?

Ensure that Kind nodes expose /dev/vfio before deploying Grout.
The custom node image only installs Open vSwitch and does not create /dev/vfio. The image workflow also does not check for this path. Because hostPath.type: Directory rejects a missing path, grout-deploy can fail to start the Grout container when the runtime node does not expose /dev/vfio, including in TAP-only mode. Add an explicit node setup or remove this unused mount from the TAP-only patch.

Preserve existing device state when saving addresses.
devicestate.Save replaces the complete state file. This call passes only InterfaceName and Addresses, so it clears any existing PCIAddress, OriginalDriver, and MTU. The normal accelerated-to-TAP transition is not the trigger because teardown detects the acceleration change and deletes the old state first. Load the existing entry before updating Addresses.

Remove the intermediate Save, or persist the PCI address only after every field is collected.
Line 708 persists the entry as soon as PCIAddress is set. OriginalDriver, MTU, and Addresses are still empty at that point. If pci.GetPCIDriver (line 711), netlink.LinkByName (line 716), or hostnetwork.AddressesForInterface (line 722) then fails, the state file stays on disk with a non-empty PCIAddress and an empty OriginalDriver and MTU of 0.
The next reconcile reads that file and skips initialization, because setupGroutPortUnderlay only calls initializeDeviceState when devState.PCIAddress == "" (line 140). The poisoned state then persists:
restoreDeviceDriverrequiresstate.OriginalDriver != ""(line 740), so the NIC is never rebound to its original driver on teardown and stays onvfio-pci.configureGroutPortpassesMTU: &state.MTU(line 462), soensurePortWithOptionssendsmtu 0andmatchesRequestedcan never match the port that grout reports. The port is deleted and recreated on every reconcile.
Collect all fields first, then save once.

Remove an accelerated interface when its effective port name changes.
Line 252 treats all accelerated configurations for the same interface as equivalent. Existing Grout discovery retains the current PortName, so changing only acceleratedConfig.portName does not add the old port to toRemove. The old DPDK port remains active, and setup then targets a second port name for the same PCI device.
Compare the effective Grout port identity during removal detection. Add a regression test for a rename such as p0 to p1.

site:kernel.org sysfs drivers_probe PCI write probe driver no driver match documentation
💡 Result:
In the Linux kernel, writing to the sysfs file /sys/bus/pci/drivers_probe is a mechanism used to manually trigger the driver probing process for a specific PCI device [1][2]. When a PCI device is identified by the system, the kernel typically attempts to automatically bind it to a suitable driver (autoprobe). However, in scenarios where this automatic process is disabled—such as when /sys/bus/pci/drivers_autoprobe is set to 0—or when a driver has been manually unbound, you can force the kernel to attempt to match a specific device to an available driver by writing the device's PCI address (e.g., 0000:03:00.0) to the drivers_probe file [1][3]. This interface is useful for administrative tasks, such as: 1. Managing device binding manually when autoprobe is disabled to perform configuration changes before a driver takes control [1][3]. 2. Re-attaching devices to a driver after they have been detached or unbound, such as in virtualization environments or during testing [2]. If the kernel finds a driver that matches the device's vendor/device IDs, it will bind the device to that driver. If no match is found, the write operation will simply complete without the device being bound. This interface functions similarly to the bind file located within individual driver directories (e.g., /sys/bus/pci/drivers/<driver_name>/bind), but it operates globally across the PCI bus [1][3].

Verify the driver after probing.
Writing to drivers_probe can complete without binding a driver. BindVFIOPCI then returns nil, and callers treat the device as ready for DPDK. Read the driver symlink with GetPCIDriver and return an error unless it is DriverVFIOPCI.

Remove the unsupported mac option.
AcceleratedConfig has no mac field. The API schema and networkDeviceInterfaceToHost only support rxQueues, qSize, promiscuous, and portName. A user who adds mac from this text will submit an invalid Underlay resource. Remove this claim or add the field across the API and runtime contract.

VFIO devices are bound after the grout pod has been created and their IOMMU group numbers are only known at that point. Mounting /dev/vfio exposes those device nodes, but the container runtime has already installed its device-cgroup policy, so DPDK receives EPERM when opening /dev/vfio/vfio or the dynamically selected VFIO group. CDI and device plugins can add the required cgroup rules cleanly, but only during container creation; using them here would require restarting the pod after each new device assignment. Writing devices.allow only supports cgroup v1. On cgroup v2, modifying the policy requires replacing the runtime's device BPF program, while NRI introduces a node-level plugin solely for this injection. Use privileged mode as the portable, immediate way to permit dynamically assigned VFIO devices until creation-time device injection is available. Signed-off-by: Andrea Panattoni <apanatto@redhat.com>

Write device state atomically.
os.WriteFile truncates the existing state file before it writes the replacement. An interruption can leave invalid JSON. Subsequent reconciliation cannot load the state or restore a NIC from vfio-pci.
Write to a temporary file in Dir. Then close it and rename it over the final path.

Match the underlay marker exactly.
Both controller port creation paths write UnderlayInterfaceDescriptionMarker as the complete description. UnderlayInterfaces accepts any description containing the marker, then SetupUnderlay passes the result to UnderlayInterfacesToRemove. A port named for an interface that has a description such as "not-underlay" can therefore be included and removed when that interface is no longer requested.
Compare details.Description with UnderlayInterfaceDescriptionMarker exactly.

Return the grout port deletion error before device restoration.
client.deletePort returns nil when the port is already absent and returns an error when the existence check or interface del fails. The current TAP and accelerated teardown paths log that error and continue, so the port may remain live while the TAP interface, PCI driver, or device state is restored. This violates the teardown order, which removes the Grout port before restoring the backing device.
Return the error from both teardownTapUnderlay and teardownAcceleratedUnderlay.

Restore the MTU when no addresses are saved.
The early return skips MTU restoration when state.Addresses is empty. A device that has no saved addresses can therefore retain the wrong MTU after teardown.
Return early only when InterfaceName is empty. Apply the MTU before iterating over addresses.

Propagate non-absent address deletion failures.
migrateAddressesToGrout calls ensureAddress, then logs every DeleteAddressFromInterface error and continues. If netlink.AddrDel fails without removing the address, route setup and DisableRPFilter can succeed, and configureUnderlayGroutTapPort can return success with the address on both interfaces.
Return non-absent deletion errors. DeleteAddressFromInterface forwards the raw netlink.AddrDel error, so classify the exact already-absent result at this boundary before ignoring it.
