[dpdk-stable] patch 'config: enable more than 128 cores for arm64' has been queued to LTS release 16.11.9

[Luca Boccassi]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 16.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/28/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] config: enable more than 128 cores for arm64

[ upstream commit 9b47ed438ab9dba47856c8e93880b88d94715519 ]

When running dpdk applications on cores whose ids are bigger
than original max_core setting, eal error as below:
EAL: Detected 104 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes
EAL: invalid core list
-l CORELIST core indexes between 0 and 128

The fix is to increase max_core to 256 on arm64 platform.

Fixes: b3ce00e5 ("mk: introduce ARMv8 architecture")
