Hi, Recently I was using the failsafe PMD with multi process scenario and found the secondary process was not working as expected. . I saw you were mentioned as the maintainer for this PMD.
I have attached the patch, please let me know if this is okay. I think in the following commit, the failsafe driver was not changed, but other vdevs were changed. commit 4852aa8f6e2125664698afc43b820bd787b02756 Date: Tue Oct 16 08:16:30 2018 +0800 drivers/net: enable hotplug on secondary process Attach port from secondary should ignore devargs since the private device is not necessary to support. Also previously, detach port on a secondary process will mess primary process and cause the same device can't be attached back again. A secondary process should use rte_eth_dev_release_port_secondary to release a port. Thanks, Param.
