[PATCH 10/10] app/dma-perf: support specific error info

Chengwen Feng fengchengwen at huawei.com
Tue Aug 12 04:07:08 CEST 2025


If some entry was not provided in section, it will be segment fault
in original impl. For example:
	dpdk-test-dma-perf --config ./config.ini
	config file parsing...
	Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This commit support specific error information, the new output (e.g.):
	dpdk-test-dma-perf --config ./config.ini
	config file parsing...
	Error: can't get entry 'dst_numa_node' in section 'case1'
