Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Revert "app/testpmd: stop forwarding in secondary process"
Date: Thu,  7 May 2026 13:58:36 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507210152.410419-2-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260507210152.410419-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>

Testpmd must not assume that the secondary process
is testpmd. The notification needs to be done by EAL.

This reverts commit f96273c8e9d39e472bb07acc05e493b1e712e51b.

Bugzilla ID: 1942
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
