- Using 256 queues is not supported upstream...
iavf_dev_configure(): large VF is not supported

I would really love that Intel stops building/testing features with
this out of tree driver........
We have lost and still lose so much time because of it.


- Back to your topic.
Can you try this simple hack:

diff --git a/lib/eal/common/eal_common_thread.c
b/lib/eal/common/eal_common_thread.c
index c5d8b4327d..92160c7fa6 100644

        params->ret = pthread_setaffinity_np(pthread_self(), sizeof(*cpuset),
