The sendmsg()/recvmsg() API is used to establish communication between the DPDK processes. The API supposes inter-process file descriptors sending and conversion, the recipient sees the resulting descriptors in the received message - the operating systems creates ones in the right context.The message receiving is performed by EAL in the dedicated thread and it might happen the message is received by EAL and not handled by addressed PMD or application due to some reasons (timeouts, race condition, etc). EAL just dropped unhandled messages causing the file descriptor leakage if these ones were presented in the message. The patch closes the descriptors (if any) in unhandled messages.
