[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/virtio-user: fix hugepage files enumeration

[Jianfeng Tan <jianfeng.tan@intel.com>]

After the commit 2a04139f66b4 ("eal: add single file segments option"),
one hugepage file could contain multiple hugepages which are further
mapped to different memory regions.

Original enumeration implementation cannot handle this situation.

This patch filters out the duplicated files; and adjust the size after
the enumeration.

Fixes: 6a84c37e3975 ("net/virtio-user: add vhost-user adapter layer")

@@ -109,7 +109,8 @@ We have below limitations in this solution:
  * Cannot work with --no-huge option. Currently, DPDK uses anonymous mapping
    under this option which cannot be reopened to share with vhost backend.
  * Cannot work when there are more than VHOST_MEMORY_MAX_NREGIONS(8) hugepages.
-   In another word, do not use 2MB hugepage so far.
+   If you have more regions (especially when 2MB hugepages are used), the option,
+   --single-file-segments, can help to reduce the number of shared files.
  * Applications should not use file name like HUGEFILE_FMT ("%smap_%d"). That
    will bring confusion when sharing hugepage files with backend by name.
  * Root privilege is a must. DPDK resolves physical addresses of hugepages
