Subject: [PATCH V2 1/7] app/testpmd: fix forward lcores number when DCB test

Currently, 'nb_fwd_lcores' value are both adjusted based on 'nb_fwd_streams' in
rss/simple/icmp_echo_fwd_config_setup.
But the operation is missing in dcb_fwd_config_setup, which may lead to a bad
behavior in which multiple polling threads operate on the same queue.
This patch is OK. But commit log is redundant and confusing.
The above is enough to explain what your patch is doing and can even be more 
simple.
Sorry, I will fix it.
In this
case, the device sends and receives packets, causing unexpected results. The
procedure is  as follows:
I don't understand what you're saying here. The commands you're showing is 8 
nbcores dealing with 16 queues. So it's one thread dealing with multiple queues 
which doesn't have issues at all.
Please remove the useless and confusing commands.

In the DCB test scenario, each TC is assigned a core, and one core can process multiple streams, that is, multiple queues.

In this scenario, if four TCs are enabled and the total number of Rx/Tx queues are set to 16, each TC is responsible for four queues. If we set 8 core to start forwarding, and then 8 polling threads will be pulled up. Actually, the last four threads are redundant.

Before changing the number of polling cores, if the number of columns is greater than the number of TCs used later.  In the running process of the dcb_fwd_config_setup(), the data structure 'fwd_lcores[]' corresponding to the last four cores is not reinitialized. As a result, the last four threads would use the queue polled by the first four cores.

It's probably a bit of a twist.  In general, it is conditional that multiple cores operate on the same queue. That's why I posted the following steps.

In different forwarding mode, 'fwd_lcores[]' of all cores may need to be cleared before 'fwd_lcores[]' of each forwarding core is initialized. What do you think?

1/ run testpmd with "--rxq=8 --txq=8"
2/ port stop all
3/ set nbcore 8
4/ port config 0 dcb vt off 4 pfc on
5/ port config all rxq 16
6/ port config all txq 16
7/ port start all
8/ set fwd mac
9/ start

For the DCB forwarding test, each core is assigned to each traffic class and 
each
core is assigned a multi-stream.
Therefore, 'nb_fwd_lcores' value needs to be adjusted based  on 'total_tc_num'
in all forwarding ports.
Please refer to the RSS fwd config fix patch to write your own commit log. Use 
simple and easy-understanding words to explain yourself.
Below is the reference of RSS.

     app/testpmd: limit number of forwarding cores

     Number of forwarding cores must be equal or less than
     number of forwarding streams, otherwise two cores
     would try to use a same queue on a port, which is not allowed.
