Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC V2] ethdev: fix issue that dev close in PMD calls twice

Hi, all

This patch can enhance the security of device uninstallation to 
eliminate dependency on user usage methods.

Can you check this patch?

Ethernet devices in DPDK can be released by rte_eth_dev_close() and
rte_dev_remove(). These APIs both call xxx_dev_close() in PMD layer
to uninstall hardware. However, the two APIs do not have explicit
invocation restrictions. In other words, at the ethdev layer, it is
possible to call rte_eth_dev_close() before calling rte_dev_remove()
or rte_eal_hotplug_remove(). In such a bad scenario, the primary
process may be fine, but it may cause that xxx_dev_close() in the PMD
layer will be called twice in the secondary process. So this patch
fixes it.
