Reverting the series and Jianfeng patch makes the issue to disappear. I face the problem in a VM (not seen on the host): # ./install/bin/testpmd -l 0,1,2 --socket-mem 1024 -n 4 --proc-type auto --file-prefix pg -- --portmask=3 --forward-mode=macswap --port-topology=chained --disable-rss -i --rxq=1 --txq=1 --rxd=256 --txd=256 --nb-cores=2 --auto-start EAL: Detected 3 lcore(s) EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes EAL: Auto-detected process type: PRIMARY EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/.pg_unix Then it is stuck.
