Using double negation is not very readable IMO, I would prefer this converted to a true boolean type if required.
variable ‘set' here should a 0 or 1 already, please expand this code to not use !!, using this in modern compilers should not be required. I understand this maybe shorted to write, but not very readable IMO and we need to make DPDK readable.
