Memory needs\nto be reinitialized, hugetables need to warm up etc.\n\nChanged from\n\nv1:\nFix checkpatch warnings\n\nv2:\nrebase to most recent DPDK.\n\nGraham Whyte (1):\n eal: fixes for re-initialization issues\n\nSinan Kaya (6):\n tailq: skip init if already initialized\n eal_memzone: bail out on initialized\n memseg: init once\n eal_memory: skip initialization\n eal_interrupts: don't reinitialize threads\n eal: initialize worker threads once\n\n lib/eal/common/eal_common_memory.c | 5 +++\n lib/eal/common/eal_common_memzone.c | 7 ++++\n lib/eal/common/eal_common_options.c | 7 ++++\n lib/eal/common/eal_common_tailqs.c | 20 +++++----\n lib/eal/common/malloc_heap.c | 7 ++++\n lib/eal/linux/eal.c | 64 ++++++++++++++++-------------\n lib/eal/linux/eal_interrupts.c | 7 ++++\n lib/eal/linux/eal_memory.c | 12 +++++-\n 8 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-)" }
