            Bug ID: 662
           Summary: Pthread_mutex usage is not safe between
                    primar/secondary process
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 18.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: core
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: stephen@networkplumber.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Posix mutex's are by default private to the process creating them. Several
places in DPDK use pthread_mutex to protect resources in a manner that is n=
ot
safe when used with primary/secondary processes.

This problem was reported against failsafe driver, but it seems to be a wid=
er
problem (assumptions in DPDK). Initial report was on 18.11, but these bugs =
go
back to original code in many cases.

Mutexes that are protecting data structures from multi-process model must c=
all
pthread_setpshared().
