This will introduce a race-condition with data path which may lead to crash [1]. Although the PMD added delay after setting data path pointers to cover the above race-condition, it reduces the probability, but it doesn't solve the problem. To solve the race-condition problem fundamentally, the following requirements are added: 1. The PMD should set the data path pointers to dummy functions after report RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING event. 2. The application should stop data path API invocation when process the RTE_ETH_EVENT_ERR_RECOVERING event. 3. The PMD should set the data path pointers to valid functions before report RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS event. 4. The application should enable data path API invocation when process the RTE_ETH_EVENT_RECOVERY_SUCCESS event. Also, this patch introduce a driver internal function rte_eth_fp_ops_setup which used as an help function for PMD.
