As the DPDK's EAL is already initialized by the forwarding application, calling rte_eal_init again in the spdk_env_init is causing issue with rte_error being set to EALREADY. Is there a way for the env_dpdk library of SPDK to consider an already initialized DPDK. Hi Pradeep, There's no way to do that currently, but it's a very reasonable request. Would you mind adding an issue in GitHub for this? Since it's an enhancement request, there's no need to fill out the template - adding what you have here is sufficient. http://github.com/spdk/spdk/issues I'll add some comments on how it might be implemented in SPDK once the issue is filed. Thanks, -Jim Thanks Pradeep. _______________________________________________ SPDK mailing list SPDK(a)lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/spdk
