When compiling drivers on Windows, instances have been seen where a temporary directory fails to get cleaned up due to ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION (32).
Code inspection did not reveal problems with the DPDK code and scripts, and this issue was only seen on Windows. The proposed fix adds a mitigation for this problem, and also sets a flag to ignore cleanup errors. For completeness, the error message is included below. --- stderr --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 631, in _rmtree_unsafe os.rmdir(path) ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 909, in onexc _os.unlink(path) ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "V:\github\dpdk15\dpdk\buildtools\gen-pmdinfo-cfile.py", line 13, in <module> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory(dir=tmp_root) as temp: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 950, in __exit__ self.cleanup() ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 954, in cleanup self._rmtree(self.name, ignore_errors=self._ignore_cleanup_errors) ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 934, in _rmtree _shutil.rmtree(name, onexc=onexc) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 790, in rmtree return _rmtree_unsafe(path, onexc) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 635, in _rmtree_unsafe onexc(os.rmdir, path, err) ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 924, in onexc cls._rmtree(path, ignore_errors=ignore_errors, ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ repeated=(path == name)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 934, in _rmtree _shutil.rmtree(name, onexc=onexc) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 790, in rmtree return _rmtree_unsafe(path, onexc) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 635, in _rmtree_unsafe onexc(os.rmdir, path, err) ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 631, in _rmtree_unsafe os.rmdir(path) ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' [53/450] Compiling C object lib/librte_pcapng.a.p/pcapng_rte_pcapng.c.obj ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
