Hi,
Recently I was using the failsafe PMD with multi process scenario and found the secondary process was not working as expected. . I saw you were mentioned as the maintainer for this PMD.
I have attached the patch, please let me know if this is okay.
I think in the following commit, the failsafe driver was not changed, but other vdevs were changed.
commit 4852aa8f6e2125664698afc43b820bd787b02756

drivers/net: enable hotplug on secondary process
Attach port from secondary should ignore devargs since the private
device is not necessary to support. Also previously, detach port on
a secondary process will mess primary process and cause the same
device can't be attached back again. A secondary process should use
rte_eth_dev_release_port_secondary to release a port.
Thanks,
Param.
