Subject: net/virtio-user: fix multi-process attach
X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~3672
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=727d83ca23115387b6f839d4a351c03afb5d084b;p=dpdk.git

net/virtio-user: fix multi-process attach

Secondary process doesn't properly attach to the rte_eth_device
initialized by the primary process.

Accessing device from secondary process (e.g. via rte_eth_rx_burst),
causes process to crash. because rte_eth_dev_data is not properly set.

The issue was flood by
'commit 7f95f78a8aea ("ethdev: clear data when allocating device")'
which now clears rte_eth_dev_data entry.
For pci devices the struct is initialized by rte_eth_dev_pci_probe
->eth_dev_attach_secondary().
However, for virtio-user virtio_user_pmd_probe() is called instead of
rte_eth_dev_pci_probe().

The fix is to call rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary(), for secondary
process, from virtio_user_pmd_probe.
