This is implemented by moving the rte_eal_mcfg_complete() function call in rte_eal_init() until after rte_eal_pci_probe(). The end result is that the secondary process waits longer, until the primary has completed its PCI probing, and then notifies the secondary process. This race-condition became visible during the development of a function that allows a secondary process to be polling until a primary process exists. The secondary would then probe PCI devices at the same time, causing an error during rte_eal_init() Linux EAL: Fixes: 916e4f4f4e45 ("memory: fix for multi process support") BSD EAL: Fixes: 764bf26873b9 ("add FreeBSD support") Signed-off-by: Harry van Haaren --- lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c | 6 +++--- lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal.c | 6 +++--- 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c b/lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c index a34e61d..06bfd4e 100644 --- a/lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c +++ b/lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /*- * BSD LICENSE * - * Copyright(c) 2010-2014 Intel Corporation.
