What do you think just record file path in "pmd_pcap_probe()",
Perform an open operation only in "eth_dev_start()"?
When the secondary process add pcap vdev,
it send the request to primary process,
the primary process probe pcap vdev too ,
Both the two process open the same file (in function "pmd_pcap_probe()")
It's not necessary

Thanks for the fix,
the cleanup seems missing in 'eth_dev_close()' too, what do you think moving
'eth_dev_stop(eth_dev);' inside the 'eth_dev_close()'?
So both 'close' and 'remove' will be covered.
Btw, you have same patch with both "ZhangTengfei <zhangteng...@oppo.com>" sign
and "ZhangTengfei <zypsc...@outlook.com>" sign (this one), can you please
clarify which one do you prefer?

Opening pcap helps us fail early in probe() if something is wrong, otherwise the
driver probed and the problem detected in the start() when it is too late.
start() also opens pcap if it is not already opened.
In your usecase, if the pcap added by the secondary with the intention to use
only by the secondary, yes primary process also opens the pcap unnecessarily,
but that shouldn't be really a concern, this is one time cost in probe().

OK, also can you please use "Name Surname <em...@address.com>" format, to be
consistent, I guess for you it means as following:
Tengfei Zhang <zypsc...@outlook.com>
