After discussing with Pravin offline, it is good to use first get the
reference
and then access the 'port->netdev' for pmd check.
So, use a nested if statement:
@@ -1864,20 +1874,27 @@ pmd_load_queues(struct pmd_thread *f,
index = 0;
CMAP_FOR_EACH (port, node, &f->dp->ports) {
- if (netdev_is_pmd(port->netdev)) {
- int i;
-
- for (i = 0; i < netdev_n_rxq(port->netdev); i++) {
- if ((index % dp->n_pmd_threads) == id) {
- poll_list = xrealloc(poll_list, sizeof *poll
-
- port_ref(port);
- poll_list[poll_cnt].port = port;
- poll_list[poll_cnt].rx = port->rxq[i];
- poll_cnt++;
+ /* Calls port_try_ref() to prevent the main thread
+ * from deleting the port. */
+ if (port_try_ref(port)) {
+ if (netdev_is_pmd(port->netdev)) {
+ int i;
+
+ for (i = 0; i < netdev_n_rxq(port->netdev); i++)
+ if ((index % dp->n_pmd_threads) == id) {
+ poll_list = xrealloc(poll_list,
+ sizeof *poll_list * (pol
+
+ port_ref(port);
+ poll_list[poll_cnt].port = port;
+ poll_list[poll_cnt].rx = port->rxq[i];
+ poll_cnt++;
+ }
+ index++;
}
- index++;
}
+ /* Unrefs the port_try_ref(). */
+ port_unref(port);
}
Will apply to master soon,
