[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] eal: fix use wrong time API

[Thomas Monjalon]

05/05/2021 05:43, Chengwen Feng:
> Currently, the mp uses gettimeofday() API to get the time, and used as
> timeout parameter.
> 
> But the time which gets from gettimeofday() API isn't monotonically
> increasing. The process may fail if the system time is changed.
> 
> This fixes it by using clock_gettime() API with monotonic attribution.
> 
> Fixes: 783b6e54971d ("eal: add synchronous multi-process communication")
> Fixes: f05e26051c15 ("eal: add IPC asynchronous request")

I did some comments on v2 about potential errors to catch,
but you sent this v3 without participating in v2 discussion.
