Subject: [PATCH] doc: add a restriction to multi-process support
Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 04:56:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171128095654.6452-1-junjie.j.chen@intel.com> (raw)

From: Junjie Chen <junjie.j.chen@intel.com>

This patch add a restriction to multi-process support: secondary
processes should only run alongside primary process with same DPDK 
version, so that secondary processes can use the same hugepage mmap
layout as primary process.

 Standalone DPDK processes are primary processes,
 while secondary processes can only run alongside a primary process or
 after a primary process has already configured the hugepage shared memory for them.
+And secondary processes should only run alongside primary process with same DPDK version.
 
 To support these two process types, and other multi-process setups described later,
 two additional command-line parameters are available to the EAL:
