Yes, that’s the final target: to make every vdev shared between primary and secondary process.
However, now most kinds of the vdevs do not support multi-process. For those devices,
- If they are firstly probed in primary, then we will share the rte_eth_dev_data to the secondary, so that the secondary can get stats or pdump the port.
- If they are firstly probed in secondary, considering it's mostly used by the secondary process, so we will allocate the "port id" exclusively, and keep it in that secondary process privately.
Thanks,
Jianfeng
