From: Madhuker Mythri <madhuker.myt...@oracle.com>
Crash occuring while the DPDK secondary processes trying to probe the
tap-device, where tap-device is a sub-device of Fail-safe device.
Some-times we get in-valid sub-devices(with the in-valid port-id’s and
device-names), due to which the IPC communication does not get response and
causes the communication failures b/w primary/secondary process.
So, need to validate the sub-device(tap) while secondary process probe in the
Fail-safe PMD, to avoid such issues.
