Hi Arnon,
Always happy to see panic calls get removed. I have some comments inline.

Previously, it wasn't possible for mem_cfg_fd to be reused after a
failure. Now it is - please reset it to -1. in these close conditions.

Again, previously this would have aborted on a failure. So it needs to
be reset to a value that allows retry.

Not for this patch, but I just noticed that this should probably use a

Use rte_eal_init_alert to indicate why you are failing the init.

Is it ever possible to recover from this? Still needs
rte_eal_init_alert() call.

How are you cleaning up the threads that were spawned? Lets say this
loop will execute 5 times, and on the 3rd entry, these errors happen.
You now leave DPDK 'half-initialized' - you've spun up threads and
allocated memory.
Also, again use rte_eal_init_alert(). It was added for a reason :)

Same question as before. If pthread_create is failing, there are worse
problems than aborting.

This is worse than a panic. Users will blame applications for appearing
to freeze. Please leave the panics in place rather than do this.

I'm not even sure this check has merit, tbh. Is there ever a chance for
an lcore thread to be spawned like this? Probably a better patch would
just remove all the code you've inserted, but keep the check you
removed.

Same question. Actually this could happen on shutdown, I think? If
there's a race where the pipe is torn down before the thread? Not sure
if there are any ordering guarantees around that.

I don't see how any of this is better for the user. In fact, I think
this is worse because it will make portions of the application stop
working without any way to move forward. rte_panic() will at least give
the process a chance to recover from a potentially ephemeral condition.

This seems to only exist as a way of triggering the run_once check in
the eal_init. It doesn't add anything except one more state variable to
check against. What is the purpose?
Further, it seems unrelated to removing panics.
