Hello Devs
I'm new to DPDK and trying to understand the basics..
I want to write a DPDK app where I want to configure shm rings on the fly,
and I want one thread(per core) to service the ring.
In some of the examples I saw rte_eal_mp_remote_launch() being used, but
this is a one time launch. Can I use pthread_create() on-the-fly (taking
care of CPU core allocation), after doing an initial threads launch using
rte_eal_mp_remote_launch()?
 Thanks
