patch 'pdump: handle primary process exit' has been queued to stable release 24.11.4

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/26/25. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/21344e6cc36bf127fdbe82f28fea62bdd5439987

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] pdump: handle primary process exit

[ upstream commit cefd5edce236e69496693ea0ecbf3e61434ff348 ]

If primary process exits, then it is not possible (or needed)
to cleanup resources. Instead just exit after closing the
capture file.

Bugzilla ID: 1760
Fixes: a99a311ba101 ("app/pdump: exit with primary process")
Fixes: cbb44143be74 ("app/dumpcap: add new packet capture application")
