[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: return -1 if rte_lcore_index called from non-DPDK thread

[Stephen Hemminger]

If rte_lcore_index() is asked to give the index of the
current lcore (argument -1) and is called from a non-DPDK thread
then it would invalid result. The result would come
lcore_config[-1].core_index which is some other data in the
per-thread area.

The resolution is to return -1 which is what rte_lcore_index()
returns if handed an invalid lcore.

Same issue existed with rte_lcore_to_cpu_id().
