Subject: [PATCH] app/testpmd: stop secondary process fwd_lcores during primary teardown
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 04:02:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250910110237.460825-1-14pwcse1224@uetpeshawar.edu.pk> (raw)

When the secondary process testpmd application running any fwd_engine
and after that primary has exited will cause a crash.

This patch forces secondary process forwarding lcores
in fwd_engine to stop before the primary process exits.

Fixes: a550baf24af90f ("app/testpmd: support multi-process")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
