My comment on v1 was sent at the same time as this v2. Pasting it here:

"match pattern" can be replaced with "globbing pattern".

I think there are few other places which can be improved.

I see this one in lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_log.c:
        glob (file match) pattern
I suggest "globbing pattern"

And "Glob match string option" -> "Globbing pattern option"
