I agree this is the problem.
In the driver code, 'rte_eth_copy_pci_info' is called only by primary process,
but the generic code is faulty.
And in 19.11 additionally 'eth_dev_pci_specific_init' also seems has same
problem.

Yes these are the two options.
I agree adding check in the 'rte_eth_copy_pci_info' covers all cases and safer.
BUT my concern was adding decision making to simple/leaf function and make it
harder to debug/use, instead of giving what primary/secondary process should
call decision in higher level.
But I just recognized that some PMDs are calling 'rte_eth_copy_pci_info' on
secondary process, like mlx4 or szedata2, and most probably this is not their
intention.
And 'eth_dev->intr_handle' set in 'rte_eth_copy_pci_info', not calling this
function may have side affect of 'eth_dev->intr_handle' not set in secondary.
With above considerations I am OK to your proposal to cover all cases, Thomas,
Andrew, any concern?
@Fang, only can you please make a new version to update the
'rte_eth_copy_pci_info' function comment to document shared data is not updated
for the secondary process?
Thanks,
