Hi,
I am integrating my DPDK app (using DPDK version 22.11) with Netvsc PMD. I
was testing the use case of VF removal with the DPDK app.
I registered for hotplug notification in the DPDK app and enabled DPDK
logs. I see the APIs being invoked for VF removal from the logs below:

However, I see the synthetic interface not being unbound from the
uio_hv_generic driver.

Should it be done as part of hotplug notification by my DPDK app or should
DPDK code already take care of it ?

Regards,

Nandini
