Subject: [PATCH] eal: increase max file descriptor for secondary process device
Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2024 09:20:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240905162018.74301-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
The TAP and XDP driver both are limited to only 8 queues when
because of the small limit imposed by EAL. Increase the limit
now since this release allows changing ABI.

=======================================================
+* The maximum number of file descriptors that can be passed to a secondary process
+ has been increased from 8 to 253 (which is the maximum possible with Unix domain
+ socket). This allows for more queues when using software devices such as TAP
+ and XDP.
