Subject: test: add procfs error message for multi-process launch
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8d5e544e73e3dca81ff8a35f22e148cf0a032c3;p=dpdk.git

test: add procfs error message for multi-process launch

Currently, if there is no procfs mounted, test application will
fail to run any multiprocess-related autotests (EAL flags etc.)
without a clear explanation as to why this happens.

Add a check specifically for that condition, as well as add a
general stringified error message to rte_panic.
