Approach

What is the motivation for this PR?

We saw below core dump during init_switch.

    warmBootState=...) at vpp/SwitchVpp.cpp:44

This happened during init_switch right after vpp_intf_events_enable_disable, an event came in but event_queue had not been properly initialized.

Work item tracking
  • Microsoft ADO (number only):

How did you do it?

Move event queue initialization before enabling events from vpp.

How did you verify/test it?

Run sonic-mgmt via sonic-net/sonic-buildimage#27039

Any platform specific information?

vpp specific
