Hi Khadem

Hi Vipin,
Glad you got the reason.
I have only checked it in testpmd, any other application which provides primary-secondary support could also follow the same model.
This patch only adds stability and robustness to primary-secondary applications. Primary applications can be closed, quit or shutdown
by various reasons while secondary end-up with dangling pointers.
Without the primary application, the secondary could not do any rx or tx.


Can you please answer to the previous question `are you SIGKILL or doing graceful shutdown to primary`? IBoth are different behaviour
