Dear Prashant, We had lot of operational issues with dpdk leftover files in the past, so we took special care to made them disappear ASAP.
Even if they are present you will not be able to use secondary process, we simply don't support that use case. Secondary process will not be able to access buffer memory as buffer memory is allocated by VPP and not by DPDK. Please note that VPP is not application built on top of DPDK, for us DPDK is just source of device drivers wit a bit of weight around them. Typical VPP feature code can work even without DPDK being present. If you explain your use case we might be able to advise you how to approach your problem in a way native to VPP, without relying on DPDK legacy features.
