Re: [dpdk-dev] pci device access from dpdk secondary process with igb_uio

["Trahe, Fiona" <fiona.trahe@intel.com>]

Hi Vijay,

Sorry for the delay, we missed this as It arrived while on Christmas holidays.
We'll investigate, though it may take some time as this looks like a pci lib issue
and up to recently we have only been using QAT in primary processes so don't have
expertise yet in this area.

If you could provide some background to your use-case for qat in primary/secondary, that may help.
