The uio_pci_generic driver clears the bus master bit when the device
file is closed.  So, when the secondary process terminates after probing
a device, that device becomes unusable in the primary process.

To avoid that, the device file is now opened only in the primary
process.  The commit that introduced this regression, 847d78fb95
("bus/pci: fix FD in secondary process"), only mentioned enabling access
to config space from secondary process, which still works, as it doesn't
rely on the device file.

Yes, we can still access the config space from secondary process.

Maybe here also need a 'Cc: stable@dpdk.org' ?

With this, It looks good to me, thanks.

Besides the cc stable tag mentioned by Chaoyong, commit ID should be 12-digit.

Please also fix the coding style:

[PATCH v2] bus/pci: don't open uio device in secondary process

[Konrad Sztyber]

The uio_pci_generic driver clears the bus master bit when the device
file is closed. So, when the secondary process terminates after probing
a device, that device becomes unusable in the primary process.

To avoid that, the device file is now opened only in the primary
process. The commit that introduced this regression, 847d78fb9530
("bus/pci: fix FD in secondary process"), only mentioned enabling access
to config space from secondary process, which still works, as it doesn't
rely on the device file.

[PATCH v3] bus/pci: don't open uio device in secondary process

[Konrad Sztyber]

The uio_pci_generic driver clears the bus master bit when the device
file is closed. So, when the secondary process terminates after probing
a device, that device becomes unusable in the primary process.

To avoid that, the device file is now opened only in the primary process
and the secondary gets it over UNIX domain socket via SCM_RIGHTS.

v3:
  Use the rte_mp_* infrastructure to pass the uio fd from the primary
  process to the secondary.
v2:
  Fixed coding style issues.

Wouldn't this break use of interrupts in the secondary process?

The patch does need the minor fix of the comment style.
So resubmit

Yes, it will. But I don't think we can support interrupts in the 
secondary process *and*, at the same time, keep the device usable in the 
primary process when secondary terminates. Maybe we could pass the fd 
via SCM_RIGHTS? But I don't know if that results in the same struct file 
being used by both processes.

That is what tap, and xdp are doing.

Thanks for the info. I'll take a look and will send a next rev doing 
something similar in uio.

My two cents.
net/tap uses the rte_mp_* infrastructure and this is what you need.
net/af_xdp has two cases, so don't get confused with the custom
SCM_RIGHTS stuff and stick to rte_mp_*.
