From 14de8734c401457dab76be917852417203f9bfb3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anatoly Burakov Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2018 13:48:03 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] eal: add --in-memory option This command-line option will cause DPDK to operate entirely in memory and not create any shared files at runtime, including any shared configuration or hugetlbfs files. This is useful for debug purposes, as well as for certain use cases like containers or automatic memory cleanup. Currently, this option acts as a strict superset of --no-shconf and --huge-unlink commands.
