            Bug ID: 258
           Summary: Tap driver unnecessarily triggers timeout on failure
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 19.05
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: anatoly.burakov@intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

When calling tap_mp_attach_queues(), secondary assumes that if a response has
arrived from the primary, the call was successful. When the primary encounters
an error in tap_mp_sync_queues(), it will simply return -1 without sending a
reply. There is no way for a primary to indicate that it has received a
processed the request, but have encountered an error while doing so. This leads
to a situation where the secondary will timeout on waiting for primary to
respond if the primary has encountered failure.

The correct usage of IPC is for primary to respond with a status code, and for
secondary to check whether the status code matches success or failure.
