Calling rte_eth_dev_close() will release resources of eth device and close it. But rte_pci_device struct isn't released when app exit, which will lead to memory leak.
That's a PMD issue. When the last port of a PCI device is closed, the device should be freed.
+ /* Retrieve device address in eth device before closing it. */ + eth_dev = &rte_eth_devices[portid];
You should not access this array, considered internal.

+ rte_dev = eth_dev->device; rte_eth_dev_close(portid); + ret = rte_dev_remove(rte_dev);
