[dpdk-dev] Unlinking hugepage backing file after initialiation

[shesha Sreenivasamurthy (shesha)]

Hello,
As of DPDK2.1, backing files are created in hugetablefs during mapping (in 
eal_memory.c::rte_eal_hugepage_init()) and these files are not cleaned up 
(unlinked) after initialization (mmap-ing). This means, when the application 
crashes or stopped, the memory is still consumed. Therefore, is there any 
reason not to unlink backing files after initialization ? If no, I will send a 
patch for the change.
