[dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: check string parameter lengths

[Thomas Monjalon]

> When specifying parameters such as hugefile prefix from the
> command-line, it is possibly to supply an empty string. This may
> lead to various problems: for example, if hugefile prefix is
> empty, the runtime config path construction may end up
> looking like "/var/run/dpdk//_config", which will technically
> work, but is wrong and places files in the wrong place.
> 
> To fix it, check lengths of such user-specified parameters for
> hugefile prefix, as well as hugepage dir and user-specified
> mbuf pool ops string.
