The issue was flood by 'commit 7f95f78a8aea ("ethdev: clear data when allocating device")' which now clears rte_eth_dev_data entry. For pci devices the struct is initialized by rte_eth_dev_pci_probe ->eth_dev_attach_secondary(). However, for virtio-user virtio_user_pmd_probe() is called instead of rte_eth_dev_pci_probe(). The fix is to call rte_eth_dev_attach_secondary(), for secondary process, from virtio_user_pmd_probe.
