> When specifying parameters such as hugefile prefix from the
> command-line, it is possibly to supply an empty string. This may
> lead to various problems: for example, if hugefile prefix is

> looking like "/var/run/dpdk//_config", which will technically

> To fix it, check lengths of such user-specified parameters for
> hugefile prefix, as well as hugepage dir and user-specified
> mbuf pool ops string.
