            Bug ID: 839
           Summary: pdump: any subsequent runs of pdump_autotest fail
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 21.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: other
          Assignee: dev at dpdk.org
          Reporter: konstantin.ananyev at intel.com
  Target Milestone: ---

rte_pdump_init() always allocates new memzone for pdump_stats.
    Though rte_pdump_uninit() never frees it.
    So the following combination will always fail:
    rte_pdump_init(); rte_pdump_uninit(); rte_pdump_init();
    The issue was caught by pdump_autotest UT.
    While first test run successful, any consecutive runs
    of this test-case will fail like that:
RTE>>pdump_autotest
IN PRIMARY PROCESS
rte_pdump_init(): cannot allocate pdump statistics
rte_pdump_init failed
...

I submitted fix to free pdum_stats memzone at rte_pdump_uninit():
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20211026115301.5456-1-konstantin.ananyev@intel.com/

If you think it is not a proper way (instead we should keep memzone forever, or
so),
please feel free to supersede my patch with newer one.
