[PATCH v3] test: fix option devices

Mingjin Ye mingjinx.ye at intel.com
Mon Oct 14 12:00:26 CEST 2024


Without using allow (-a) or block (-b), EAL loads all devices by default.
Unexpected devices may be loaded when running test cases in sub-processes.

This patch fixes the issue by copying the parameters of the master process
if the allow (-a) or block (-b) option is not used when starting the child
process.

Also, EAL does not allow the options allow (-a) and block (-b) to be used
at the same time.

Fixes: b3ce7891ad38 ("test: fix probing in secondary process")

v2: The long form of the fix option is "--block".

v3: new scheme.
