Hey Folks,

In our application, EAL initialization can take a very long time due to a
large amount of huge page memory.  Under some circumstances such as
software updates, we would like to cut that process off early.  Is it OK to
call rte_exit() while rte_eal_init() is still running?

Thanks.

There is no magic inside DPDK library.
Read the source and decide.
The hugepage startup was a bug in older versions, it should be fixed now.
