[PATCH] child process synchronization NIC startup parameters

Kaisen You kaisenx.you at intel.com
Wed Jul 5 09:43:09 CEST 2023


In meson_test, because the child process does not synchronize
the NIC startup parameters of the parent process at startup,
it uses all NICs bound by vfio as startup parameters by default,
and an exception occurs in the subsequent hugefile check,
causing the test to fail. Synchronize the NIC startup parameters
of the parent process to the child process to solve this problem.

Fixes: 786b29255c49 ("test: fix file prefix discovery")
