From 08c028d08c42c1a4cd26aff1ed9c6438ddfd1206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrien Mazarguil Date: Fri, 2 Mar 2018 15:15:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx: fix rdma-core glue path with EAL plugins Glue object files are looked up in RTE_EAL_PMD_PATH by default when set and should be installed in this directory. During startup, EAL attempts to load them automatically like other plug-ins found there. While normally harmless, dlopen() fails when rdma-core is not installed, EAL interprets this as a fatal error and terminates the application. This patch requests glue objects to be installed in a different directory to prevent their automatic loading by EAL since they are PMD helpers, not actual DPDK plug-ins.
