From: Long Li <[email protected]> This series fixes multi-process support for DPDK drivers used on Azure VMs with Accelerated Networking (AN). When AN is toggled, the VF device is hot-removed and hot-added, which can crash secondary processes due to stale fast-path pointers and race conditions.
Patches 1-3 fix the netvsc PMD: - Prevent secondary from calling unsupported promiscuous ops - Fix rwlock misuse and race conditions on VF add/remove events - Add multi-process VF device removal support via IPC Patches 4-5 fix resource leaks: - MANA PD resource leak on device close - netvsc devargs memory leak on hotplug Patches 6-8 fix a common bug across MANA, MLX5, and MLX4 drivers where the secondary process START_RXTX/STOP_RXTX IPC handlers update dev->rx_pkt_burst/tx_pkt_burst but do not update the process-local rte_eth_fp_ops[] array. Since rte_eth_rx_burst() uses rte_eth_fp_ops (not dev->rx_pkt_burst), the secondary retains stale queue data pointers after VF hot-add, causing a segfault.
