how to create bond port in multiprocess architecture?

[NMR00]

Hi,

We are having a multi process architecture for dpdk where one process controls all the physical ports and a salve process which will use those ports for polling. Now we wanted to use pmd_bond library to bundle 2 or more ports as one and create bond port but facing some issue which are listed below.

1. If we create bond port on primary process then that port is not visible to the slave process.
2. If we try to create the bond port on slave process we are hitting illegal instruction exception at below set of instructions.

int e1000_rar_set(struct e1000_hw *hw, u8 *addr, u32 index)

{

    if (hw->mac.ops.rar_set)

        return hw->mac.ops.rar_set(hw, addr, index);

    return E1000_SUCCESS;

}

So let use know if we can create and use bond port in dpdk multi process architecture. If yes, then it will be helpful to get the correct way to implement it.

Thanks,
