            Bug ID: 1390
           Summary: examples/l3fwd: in event mode tries to RX for not
                    ready port
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: examples
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: konstantin.v.ananyev@yandex.ru
                CC: pbhagavatula@marvell.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Running l3fwd in event mode with SW eventdev, service cores can start RX before
main thread is finished with PMD installation.
Reproducible with latest dpdk main branch.
To reproduce:
./dpdk-l3fwd --lcores=49,51 -n 6 -a ca:00.0 -s 0x8000000000000 \
--vdev event_sw0 -- \
-L -P -p 1  --mode eventdev --eventq-sched=ordered \
--rule_ipv4=test/l3fwd_lpm_v4_u1.cfg \
--rule_ipv6=test/l3fwd_lpm_v6_u1.cfg --no-numa 

At init stage user will most likely see the error message like that:
ETHDEV: lcore 51 called rx_pkt_burst for not ready port 0
0: ./dpdk.org/x84_64-default-linuxapp-gcc10-dbg/examples/dpdk-l3fwd
(rte_dump_stack+0x1f) [15de723]
1: ./dpdk.org/x84_64-default-linuxapp-gcc10-dbg/examples/dpdk-l3fwd
(400000+0x107e167) [147e167]
2: ./dpdk.org/x84_64-default-linuxapp-gcc10-dbg/examples/dpdk-l3fwd
(400000+0xf1e5c8) [131e5c8]
....

And then all depends how luck/unlucky you are.
If there are some actual packet in HW RX queue, then the app will most
likely to crash, otherwise it might survive.
As error message suggests, the problem is that services are started before
main thread finished with NIC setup and initialisation.
The suggested fix moves services startup after NIC setup phase.
