'strtol()' returns 'long int', but implicitly casting it to 'int'. My concern is
if this cause a static analysis tool warning.
What do you think to have 'socket_id' type as 'long int'?

Here there is an assumption that RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES will be less than
'UCHAR_MAX', perhaps it can be good to add a check to verify this assumption.
