It would be nice if DPDK EAL could parse size parameter values provided as "1M" or "128k"; but it is clearly not a requirement for this patch. Just mentioning it. > > Signed-off-by: Don Wallwork <[email protected]> > --- > /** > * internal configuration > */ > @@ -102,6 +105,7 @@ struct internal_config { > unsigned int no_telemetry; /**< true to disable Telemetry */ > struct simd_bitwidth max_simd_bitwidth; > /**< max simd bitwidth path to use */ > + size_t huge_worker_stack_size; /**< worker thread stack size in > kbytes */ The command line parameter value has been converted from kbytes to bytes here, so this comment is wrong.
