IMO, up to this point only eal_init is done so rte_eal_cleanup will be sufficient for this.
Also another way to handle this, use rte_exit instead rte_panic. rte_exit internally calls
rte_eal_cleanup. Refer l2fwd.

Also I think, it is better to release the relevant resources on error.

Yes you are right we should use rte_exit instead of rte_panic, as
rte_exit internally calls rte_eal_cleanup function.

Here I'm solving the problem reported in bugzilla id 437. The bug was
that if we use --vdev=net_memif with l2fwd application (and with its
other variants) then a socket is created by memif PMD, after
rte_eal_init function has run successfully. And if an error occurs
then the application exits without freeing the resources (socket). On
running the application 2nd time we get an error of "socket already
exists".
As in the previous version of patch "
http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/70081/ " it was recommended to clean the
resources when an error occurs.

Here only using rte_eal_cleanup() is not solving the problem as using
memif PMD is creating a socket and it's only cleaned when
rte_eth_dev_close(portid) function is called. so that's why using it
along with rte_exit or rte_panic.

Understood but I am only thinking from user's perspective that user didn't do 
rte_eth_dev_configure and related APIs so closing the device using rte_eth_dev_close
does not look good. 
May be other's (eal and memif PMD owners) can suggest something better. 
Please redirect this query to them for suggestions also.

Maintainer also recommended to call rte_eth_dev_close() for this

In mentioned link, I see that Vipin has also suggested to clean this resource in memif PMD
But did not found any reason to drop that idea. I am still in favor of this.
Also as a query, I see that changes are only l2fwd and its variants. 
Is this problem not applicable to other applications where memif is used ?

You are right, Vipin initially recommended change in Memif PMD but
later agreed upon cleaning the resources in applications.

This problem is applicable to other applications where memif is used.
We are working on other applications as time permits, Some patches
already submitted e.g:
http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=10458

Okay.

So if calling ret_eth_dev_close() makes sense after rte_eth_dev_configure() the socket initialization can be moved to the configure function. One more thought: struct rte_vdev_driver holds .probe and .remove functions. Shouldn't .remove be called before exiting if .probe was called? This would close the socket in case of memif PMD.

Bottom line: Fix memif, don't wallpaper over the bug by fixing the examples.

Other user applications, can and do crash. The driver needs to be robust
and handle that.
