Hi Wei,
We can't reproduce your issue in our environment. Below is our steps.
1. disable vector and change burst size
CONFIG_RTE_IXGBE_INC_VECTOR=n
Define PACKET_READ_SIZE to 1 in client_server_mp/mp_server/main.c.
Define PKT_READ_SIZE to 1 in client_server_mp/mp_client/client.c.
2. Run mp_server with one client.
mp_server -n 4 -c 0xf -- -p 0x3 -n 1
Rx function: Rx Burst Bulk Alloc Tx function: simple tx code path
mp_client -n 4 -c 0xf0 --proc-type=secondary -- -n 0
3. Send packets to port0 and port1. Packets normally forwarded by client.
PORTS
-----
Port 0: '90:e2:ba:36:99:3c' Port 1: '90:e2:ba:36:99:3d'
Port 0 - rx: 5000 tx: 1000
Port 1 - rx: 1000 tx: 5000
CLIENTS
-------
Client 0 - rx: 6000, rx_drop: 0
tx: 6000, tx_drop: 0
