Hi all
While this patch also applied I don't understand it.
Is it mandatory for each PMD to free all its resources in dev_close()?
Or it should be done by the rte_device remove function?
If the resource cleanup should be done by the remove function I think it
should be called for all the devices (pci, vdev, etc).
Is there an exit function for EAL to clean rte_eal_init()? If no, looks like we need it...
