            Bug ID: 120
           Summary: secondary fails failure without option '--legacy-mem'
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 18.05
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: core
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: vipin.varghese at intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Issue Description: Primary is run with option '--legacy-mem
--base-virtaddr=0x30000000000' in shared library mode. Secondary is started
without '--legacy-mem --base-virtaddr=0x30000000000'. 

Workaround: run secondary with option '--legacy-mem'

Question: Does not primary and secondary share rte_configuration. If yes,
secondary will be knowning by default if primary is started with
'--legacy-mem'. Why is that we need to pass '--legacy-mem'?

Reason: Checked DPDK documentation and FAQ unable to find the dependency
stating both primary and secondary requires '--legacy-mem'. Document version
18.11.0
