[RFC PATCH 16/44] eal: move lcore role and count to runtime state

Bruce Richardson bruce.richardson at intel.com
Wed Apr 29 18:58:08 CEST 2026


Move the lcore role and lcore count values from rte_config struct to the
runtime state struct. Update all call sites. The service_lcore_count
value was set but never actually used, so just remove it from rte_config
rather than moving it to the new structure.
