Prior to dpdk-22.11, VPP can count on rte_eth_dev_socket_id to return numa node 0 if the device didn't set it. Ever since below patch is committed in dpdk https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220929120512.480-1-olivier.matz@6wind.com/#152498 the aforementioned assumption is no longer true. If the device didn't set the numa node, VPP gets -1 from the aforementioned API call. This causes VPP to crash. This fix is to set the numa node to 0 if the API returns -1, or SOCKET_ID_ANY Type: fix Change-Id: I2fde2870e5a3eb98473fe8d119fef594bfba9a8d Signed-off-by: Steven Luong <sluong@cisco.com>
