1.9.1

When an application using huge-pages crash or exists, the hugetlbfs backing files are not cleaned up. This is a patch to clean those files. There are multi-process DPDK applications that may be benefited by those backing files. Therefore, I have made that configurable so that the application that does not need those backing files can remove them, thus not changing the current default behavior. The application itself can clean it up, however the rationale behind DPDK cleaning it up is, DPDK created it therefore, it is better it unlinks it.

Hi Shesha,

A few format comments:
- Spacing/tabbing is all wrong for some reason, need to be fixed.
- Signed-off is missing, see 'Contribute by sending patches' in http://dpdk.org/dev.
- No capital letters in the commit title - there is a patch submitted with more detailed info regarding patch format, etc - http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/7762/

When an application using huge-pages crash or exists, the hugetlbfs backing files are not cleaned up. This is a patch to clean those files. There are multi-process DPDK applications that may be benefited by those backing files. Therefore, I have made that configurable so that the application that does not need those backing files can remove them, thus not changing the current default behavior. The application itself can clean it up, however the rationale behind DPDK cleaning it up is, DPDK created it and therefore, it is better it unlinks it.

Hi Shesha,

A few things:
- For some reason the patch didn't upload properly to patchwork and the last bit of the patch is missing. The following link shows that the patch fails basic testing/compilation:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/test-report/2015-October/000352.html
- You seem to be sending two copies of the same patch.
- Please update patchwork status for v1 patch. I think this is because there were two copies of it [patch id 7606]
