[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix testpmd exit using ctrl+d

[Mordechay Haimovsky]

Even after this fix we still have setups that use netvsc  for example,  on which testpmd exits with rte_panic right after loading it even without touching the KBD.

I recommend returning the previous prompt routine in test-pmd/cmdline.c
and rework the SOFTNIC section there, preferably moving its poll section to use rte_service in a separate file cleaning the CLI files from PMD-specific implementation.
