Sorry to self-reply.
I think it's better the 'struct rte_eth_dev *dev' hold a pointer to the
'struct rte_eth_fp_ops', e.g.
struct rte_eth_dev {
struct rte_eth_fp_ops *fp_ops;
... // other field
}
The eth framework set the pointer in the rte_eth_dev_pci_allocate(), and driver
fill
corresponding callback:
dev->fp_ops->rx_pkt_burst = xxx_recv_pkts;
dev->fp_ops->tx_pkt_burst = xxx_xmit_pkts;
...
In this way, the behavior of the primary and secondary processes can be
unified, which
is basically the same as that of the original process.
