Subject: [PATCH v3] app/testpmd: stop secondary process fwd_lcores during primary teardown
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 2025 03:23:12 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250915102312.495221-1-14pwcse1224@uetpeshawar.edu.pk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250804113322.53650-1-14pwcse1224@uetpeshawar.edu.pk>
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")
