> Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] test/service: fix race condition on stopping lcore
>
> This commit fixes a potential race condition in the tests where the lcore
> running a service would increment a counter that was already reset by the
> test-suite thread. The resulting race-condition incremented value could cause
> CI failures, as indicated by DPDK's CI.
>
> This patch fixes the race-condition by making use of the added
> rte_service_lcore_active() API, which indicates when a service-core is no
> longer in the service-core polling loop.
>
> The unit test makes use of the above function to detect when all statistics
> increments are done in the service-core thread, and then the unit test
> continues finalizing and checking state.
>
> Fixes: f28f3594ded2 ("service: add attribute API")
