Subject: [RFC PATCH 22/44] eal: separate runtime state update from arg parsing
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2026 17:58:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260429165845.2136843-23-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260429165845.2136843-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>
The eal_parse_args function was performing several updates to the
runtime state that do not logically belong in a parse_args function.
Move these to the "eal_adjust_config()" function, which is now renamed
to the more accurate "eal_apply_runtime_state()". Ensure too, that all
queries for the multi process mode use the runtime state rather than the
original user provided value, which needs resolution if it's AUTO.
