Cannot set affinity - pthread_setaffinity_np - DPDK21

[Kamaraj P]

Hi Stephen,
Yes. The core mask we have aligned to separate cgroup. Probably this might
be an issue here. We will change the alignment in  our DPDK application.
BTW is there a way to check the cores affinity set to DPDK after
rte_eail_init ? Do we have to use the taskset command ?
Please advise.

Thanks,
Kamaraj
