[RFC PATCH 15/44] eal: move numa node information to platform info struct

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Wed Apr 29 18:58:07 CEST 2026


The numa node information for the platform is stored in rte_config but
belongs more in platform info struct. Move the data to that location. In
the process remove the hard-coded limit for RTE_MAX_NUMA_NODES for the
array. At least for platform info, we can record details about all numa
nodes, whatever the number.
