Subject: [RFC 0/4] move unix domain sockets from /tmp to /run/dpdk
Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2025 10:56:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251231185803.90528-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Current best practice is not to use /tmp for Unix domain sockets.
Move the socket communication to DPDK runtime directory.

To quote systemd:

    /run (traditionally /var/run) where privileged daemons can store
    runtime data, such as communication primitives. This is where your
    daemon should place its sockets.

    https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html*
