Hello,

I could not get the port link state using rte_eth_link_get from a secondary
process:

        struct rte_eth_link link;
        rte_eth_link_get((uint8_t) port_id, &link);
        if (link.link_status) {
            printf("Link Up\n");
        }
        else {
            printf("Link Down\n");
        }

This code caused either segmentation fault for dpdk-16.11 or EAL fatal
error in dpdk-17.11.

Please suggest me a work around to get the link state (up/down) in
secondary process.

Thanks,
TB
