[dpdk-dev] Multi-process model and mlx4 pmd

[Bill O'Hara]

I see from the Mellanox PMD release notes:

http://www.mellanox.com/related-docs/prod_software/Mellanox_ConnectX3_ConnectX3Pro_DPDK_PMD_Release_Notes_v1.7-8_2.8.4.pdf

that the primary and secondary multi-process model is not supported. Though
it's not noted as a limitation in the DPDK guide here:

http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/mlx4.html

Can anyone shed light on what the source of the limitation is? Is this
something that can be worked around, or fixed in the driver, or something
fundamental?

thanks
