The patch series contain the enhancements of EAL and fixes for libraries to run multi-pthreads(either EAL or non-EAL thread) per physical core. Two major changes list as below: - Extend the core affinity of each EAL thread to 1:n. Each lcore stands for a EAL thread rather than a logical core. The change adds new EAL option to allow static lcore to cpuset assginment. Then a lcore(EAL thread) affinity to a cpuset, original 1:1 mapping is the special case. - Fix the libraries to allow running on any non-EAL thread. It fix the gaps running libraries in non-EAL thread(dynamic created by user). Each fix libraries take care the case of rte_lcore_id() >= RTE_MAX_LCORE.
Thanks a million for the comments from Konstantin, Bruce, Mirek and Stephen in RFC review. *** BLURB HERE *** Cunming Liang (15): eal: add cpuset into per EAL thread lcore_config eal: new eal option '--lcores' for cpu assignment eal: add support parsing socket_id from cpuset eal: new TLS definition and API declaration eal: add eal_common_thread.c for common thread API eal: add rte_gettid() to acquire unique system tid eal: apply affinity of EAL thread by assigned cpuset enic: fix re-define freebsd compile complain malloc: fix the issue of SOCKET_ID_ANY log: fix the gap to support non-EAL thread eal: set _lcore_id and _socket_id to (-1) by default eal: fix recursive spinlock in non-EAL thraed mempool: add support to non-EAL thread ring: add support to non-EAL thread timer: add support to non-EAL thread lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/Makefile | 1 + lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c | 13 +- lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal_lcore.c | 14 ++ lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal_memory.c | 2 + lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal_thread.c | 76 +++--- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_launch.c | 1 - lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_log.c | 17 +- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c | 262 ++++++++++++++++++++- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_thread.c | 142 +++++++++++ lib/librte_eal/common/eal_options.h | 2 + lib/librte_eal/common/eal_thread.h | 66 ++++++ .../common/include/generic/rte_spinlock.h | 4 +- lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_eal.h | 27 +++ lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_lcore.h | 37 ++- lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_log.h | 5 + lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/Makefile | 4 + lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal.c | 7 +- lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal_lcore.c | 15 ++ lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal_thread.c | 78 +++--- lib/librte_malloc/malloc_heap.h | 7 +- lib/librte_mempool/rte_mempool.h | 18 +- lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic.h | 1 + lib/librte_pmd_enic/enic_compat.h | 1 + lib/librte_ring/rte_ring.h | 10 +- lib/librte_timer/rte_timer.c | 40 +++- lib/librte_timer/rte_timer.h | 2 +- 26 files changed, 721 insertions(+), 131 deletions(-) create mode 100644 lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_thread.c -- 1.8.1.4
