Subject: [PATCH v3 07/16] eal: warn if thread name is truncated
Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2025 12:11:36 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251205201537.251131-8-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251205201537.251131-1-stephen@networkplumber.org>
Thread name is very short 16 characters and therefore the name
dpdk-worker-%d will overflow with more than 9999 worker cores.
Error should be non-fatal since name only matters for debug.
