Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] app/testpmd: support multi-process
This patch adds multi-process support for testpmd.
The test cmd example as follows:
the primary cmd:
./testpmd -w xxx --file-prefix=xx -l 0-1 -n 2 -- -i\
--rxq=16 --txq=16 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=0 the secondary cmd:
./testpmd -w xxx --file-prefix=xx -l 2-3 -n 2 -- -i\
--rxq=16 --txq=16 --num-procs=2 --proc-id=1

+1 for having this support for testpmd.
Some questions in my mind:
How are the queues distributing here? In example I see 16 defined, are
they for one instance or for all?
Will all processes have same memory region? If installing one RTE_FLOW in
one instance will be active for all?
Same question for detaching device in one instance, how it will reflect on
others?
There is many other scenarios like this, how it will handle those?
Hi，Wisam Monther
Firstly， thank you for your questions. According to the current
implementation scheme, all queues are evenly allocated to different
processes based on proc_num and proc_id。
The number of receiving queues, number of processes, and process ID are
specified for the master and slave processes. After being created by the
main process, the sending and receiving queues are evenly distributed to all
processes. The following shows the calculation rule for the Testpmd to
allocate queues to each process after the proc ID is specified.
start(queue start id) = proc_id * nb_q / num_procs；
end(queue end id) = start + nb_q / num_procs；
For example, if support 16 txq and rxq
the 0 ~7 for primary process
the 8 ~15 for secondary process
all process have the same memory region.
Ok great, Thanks that' make sense.
What about the impact of installing RTE_FLOW rule into one instance, does it
apply on all? I'm talking about SW side, not HW side?
The impact of detaching device from secondary/primary only, how it's designed
to handle such cases?
It is my understanding that installing RTE_FLOW rule will affect a
instance from our modification.But the all instance will changed from HW
side.
If detaching device from secondary only, it will not affect other processes.
Thanks
