Hi Bernard,

I agree with stop() and close() are only called by primary process,
but it may not need to add like above.
Could you please check rte_ethdev.c?

- struct rte_eth_dev_data *rte_eth_dev_data;
This array is shared between processes.
So we need to initialize of finalize carefully like you said.

- struct rte_eth_dev rte_eth_devices[]
This array is per process.
And 'data' variable of this structure indicates a pointer of rte_eth_dev_data.

All PMDs for physical NIC allocates like above when PMDs are initialized.
(Even when a process is secondary, initialization function of PMDs
will be called)
But virtual device PMDs allocate rte_eth_dev_data and overwrite 'data'
variable of rte_eth_devices while initialization.

As a result, primary and secondary process has their own
'rte_eth_dev_data' for a virtual device.
So I guess all processes need to free it not to leak memory.

Thanks,
Tetsuya
