Subject: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH] eal: fix parsing zero socket memory and limits
Date: Tue, 22 Jan 2019 19:27:14 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190122162714.9144-1-i.maximets@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CGME20190122162720eucas1p1a9b93996c3a9384ba141313d3de9e37a@eucas1p1.samsung.com>

Modern memory mode allowes to not reserve any memory by the
'--socket-mem' option. i.e. it could be possible to specify
zero preallocated memory like '--socket-mem 0'.
Also, it should be possible to configure unlimited memory
allocations by '--socket-limit 0'.

Both cases are impossible now and blocks starting the DPDK
application:

    ./dpdk-app --socket-limit 0 <...>
    EAL: invalid parameters for --socket-limit
    EAL: Invalid 'command line' arguments.
    Unable to initialize DPDK: Invalid argument

Fixes: 6b42f75632f0 ("eal: enable non-legacy memory mode")
