Thanks! Stephen for looking at my analysis,

yes some hotplug synchronization issue between eal_intr_thread and primary
thread, but we are able to recover with this patch.

Reason is this fail-safe flow is inside our custom added boot-time 
polling to
update DPDK stats and calling ifindex ioctl to get interface data. 
Ideally we
should not start polling so early. but moreover calling ifindex ioctl is 
generic
functionality and should not break failsafe. We added this patch and 
gracefully
prevented the so many multiple crashes.

Setup details :
Azure testbed with Accelerated Networking(SRIOV) enabled, failsafe using 
tap +
mellanox driver.

Warm Regards
