Subject: RE: [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix secondary process cannot dump packet
Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2022 10:12:33 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CO1PR11MB5105C7AE6F973E7E9E5D2054CE819@CO1PR11MB5105.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

Hi Song,
Currently this patch is just fix the issue detected for rx queue on secondary process.
Later patch for tx queue will be submit.
