RE: [PATCH v1 2/2] examples/multi_process: fix memory leak

["Wu, Wenjun1" <wenjun1.wu@intel.com>]

Hi Chengwen,

Thanks for reviewing.
The memory leak occurs similar as what mentioned in https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230705092511.362484-2-wenjun1.wu@intel.com/.
I will perfect the commit description in V2 version.

Thanks,
Wenjun
