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.
