Bug ID: 323
Summary: eal: ctrl thread calculation assumes 1:1 mapping
between cpu and lcore id
Product: DPDK
Version: 18.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: core
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: johan.kallst...@ericsson.com
Target Milestone: ---
ctrl thread calculation assumes 1:1 mapping between cpu and lcore id.
This is not the case when --lcores and the optional cpuset mask is used.
The calculation introduced in c3568ea376700 (and 18.11.2 23a9f69ed3d9) assumes
a 1:1 mapping between cpu and lcore id. This is not the case when --lcores and
the optional cpuset mask is used.
The calculation fails when --lcores and cpuset mask is set so cpu and lcore no
longer maps 1:1.
The code silently started on the wrong physical thread with following eal
arguments(if not cpusets are used to limit the thread affinity):
--master-lcore 0 --lcores (0,19)@(19,1,2,3)
If cpusets are used(and the calculated thread is outside the cpuset) eal fails
to start with the following output:
EAL: Failed to create thread for interrupt handling
EAL: FATAL: Cannot init interrupt-handling thread
EAL: Cannot init interrupt-handling thread
EAL: Error - exiting with code: 1
Cause: Invalid EAL arguments: -1 - Unknown error -1
