[dpdk-dev] Cleanup of secondary proc fbarray files?

As far as I can tell, DPDK does not destroy secondary process fbarray files - i.e. those whose names end with "_<PID>". With enough secondary processes and memory usage per application, and after enough repeat executions, these can take up a significant amount of space. Is the user expected to clean these up themselves, or is this a bug in DPDK?

Perhaps this is a good candidate for including in rte_eal_cleanup()?

Thanks,
Gage
