Dear Reshma,

Thanks for your kind response ! Unfortunately, it still can't work.

1) I double checked the return value (int) of these two functions, both of them return 0.
2) About the DPDK building, we are not using the shared library build.

The DPDK library is for static (.a), by the way, for the primary application we used, I already added static library (librte_pdump.a, librte_pmd_pcap.a) in the Makefile (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y2Oua1T41U86qPUiiOtw7_XCIJzqJDmP/view?usp=sharing).

3) For the primary side, I saw the log showed "-w 0000:00:00.0", which are the input of function rte_eal_init(). Therefore, I also tried to parse "-w 0000:00:00.0" on pdump side, however, it still got the error.

- Log in primary side (Red font I think is related to DPDK)

---------------------

P.S 1. On primary side, If we change  "-w 0000:00:00.0" to  "-w 0000:86:02.0 -w 0000:86:02.1" which is the two bus-info we bind for DPDK.

We will get the error  EAL: Failed to attach device on primary process,  do you have any idea what is the root cause of this issue ?

P.S. 2 : For the DPDK environment we to build, we select x86_64-native-linuxapp-icc and Insert VFIO module.

Hi,

Few options you can double check
1)Make sure your primary application is calling rte_pdump_init()/ret_pudmp_uninit() to initialize/uninitialize the pdump library.
2)If you are using a shared library build,   double check you are  linking pcap pmd properly in primary build as explained in below link
https://www.mail-archive.com/users@dpdk.org/msg05039.html
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62795017/dpdk-pdump-failed-to-hotplug-add-device
3)If you are passing any pci device using  eal "-w" option to primary,  try to pass the same device to secondary also using "-w" option .

If you still see the issue please paste the full primary and secondary application run log with command that you are running.
Also what kind of build you are using.

Thanks,
Reshma
