Hi mlx5 maintainers,

Since we're using a second ConnectX 5 NIC plugged to our second CPU socket, we 
see the following message when flowing packets through that port :

net_mlx5: port 1 using address (0x6000712742c0) of unregistered mempool in 
secondary process, please create mempool before rte_eth_dev_start()

The secondary process has all of the primary process pools registered via 
rte_mempool_walk (2 as we have 2 numa nodes). But that address in the error 
message is actually not between any of the pool->mz->addr_64  + pool->mz->size 
range. So maybe this comes from an automatically created pool of the primary ? 
If so, how can we force it to be created before we call eth_dev_start?

We think the only change is that the second port is now a dedicated NIC on the 
second socket, instead of the second port of the same NIC on the first socket. 
But we are not 100% sure this is the triggering event. The same test worked 
before, still with DPDK 18.08.


Thanks,
Tom
