Hi Dmitry,
sorry for the late reply.
I changed a lot what I was doing but the effect is the same: probing,
configuring an VF on secondary process doesn't work properly on all
eth cards.
It works with an Intel E810-C but doesn't work with an MLX5 for example.
It happens that I'm able to configure the VF on MLX5 with no errors on
secondary but when using the rte_eth_tx_burst I get a SIGSEGV:
Thread 4 "lcore-worker-6" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0x7fbeed72d640 (LWP 11614)]

In previous stack trace I see that p->txq.data is NULL.
If I probe, configure the VF on primary this problem doesn't happen.
I'm attaching the code that is not polished but can give you an idea
what I'm doing (wrong).
This code is started with a command line like this, where last par is
the BDF of VF I want to use.
sudo build/simple_eth_tx_mp -l 10-12 --file-prefix tx --allow
'0000:00:00.0' -- 0000:3b:00.2
It simply starts a secondary process that initialize the eth port and
try to send a packet. Probably I'm not configuring properly the queue
and then I get problems.
