Summary: The DPDK memif driver fails to connect a second
zero-copy client port from the same process, logging an "mmap failed: No such device" error.
Product: DPDK
Version: 23.11
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: Normal

1. start two server memifs
./dpdk-testpmd -l 1-2 --file-prefix=pmd1 --vdev=net_memif0,socket=/run/memif_wx0,role=server --vdev=net_memif1,socket=/run/memif_wx1,role=server -- -i

2. start one client memif
./dpdk-testpmd -l 3-4 -m 4096 --file-prefix=pmd2 --vdev=net_memif0,socket=/run/memif_wx0,role=client,zero-copy=yes --single-file-segments -- -i

port 0 is up
testpmd> show port info 0

3. add and start 2nd client memif, print "mmap failed: No such device" client:

Port 1 is attached. Now total ports is 2
