I initialize a port with the following methods on a primary process: rte_dev_probe(vf) rte_eth_dev_configure(port_id, ... ); rte_eth_dev_adjust_nb_rx_tx_desc(port_id, ... ); rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(port_id, .... ); rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(port_id, ... ); rte_eth_dev_start(port_id ... ); Then I use the rte_eth_tx_burst(port_id) in the secondary process but I get this message: called tx_pkt_burst for not ready port 0 Is this expected?
