Handling device availability is not consistent #239
Description
During initialisation the number of ports reported by DPDK is checked with what is expected in the config file and errors/warnings are issued based on what is expected vs what is found. If less ports are available than expected a warning is issued and execution continues. If more ports are reported than expected a critical message, indicating abort is to be performed, is written, but the abort doesn't happen.
This section of main.c needs to be examined and cleaned up. My suggestion is to issue a critical error and abort if the number of reported devices does NOT match the number of devices in the config as we have specifically whitelisted all of the devices in the config and if one is missing that is not a state that I think we should continue with.
Code in main.c is about line 1598.
