Hi Sreejith,
If you would do "make", you will find the help menu. There is mentioned a way to provide " startup.conf " : make run STARTUP_CONF=startup.conf -br Mohsin ________________________________ From: vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io <vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io> on behalf of Sreejith Surendran Nair <sreejith.surendrann...@linaro.org> Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2017 2:58 PM To: Dave Barach (dbarach) Cc: vpp-dev Subject: Re: [vpp-dev] Query regarding VPP Pool allocation Hi Dave, Thanks a lot for the kind help. I was able to resolve the problem. The issue appeared to occur due to incorrect interface name value set to "mhash_set_mem" . When tried to get the interface using mhash_get incorrect value was returned and "pool_elt_at_index" failed to get correct value. Sorry I had an additional small doubt related to configuring VPP to test multi-threading support in debug mode. I am building the package using "make build" and running using "make run".I have configured the vpp startup.conf to enable "workers"(value set to 2 have two core CPU). I had a confusion is it possible to test this way in debug mode as startup file may not be used.

Pools are vectors (dynamic arrays), they expand as necessary. During initial development, please always run TAG=vpp_debug or equivalent images. If you make mistakes with vector-based data structure(s), the code tends to ASSERT(...) immediately. There are a ton of pool-based examples. It’s really no more complicated than: typedef struct { foo_t * foo_pool; } my_main_t; my_main_t my_main; foo_t *object; my_main_t *mp = &my_main; pool_get (mp->foo_pool, object); memset(object, 0, sizeof(*object)); object_index = object - mp->foo_pool; /* invariant forever */ /* recover object by index, safe across pool expansion */ object = pool_elt_at_index (mp->foo_pool, object_index); /* Free the object */ pool_put (mp->foo_pool, object); or pool_put_index (mp->foo_pool, object_index); Notes include: never memorize pointers to objects allocated in this manner, unless you enjoy debugging dangling reference bugs. Always memorize pool indices instead...

I had query regarding "pool_get" API. I am using call "pool_get(om->interfaces,oif) " with parameters "om->interfaces" and "oif" should we need to allocate memory for "om->interfaces" using "pool_alloc" before calling pool_get. I am presently not using "pool_alloc" to allocate memory and using" pool_get" during interface creation and "pool_put" during interface deletion. I followed "af_packet/netmap" as reference implementation, But when I tried to delete the interface I saw "pool_put" call is getting stuck as the next statements are not executed. I thought it may be because "pool_alloc" was not used for "om->interfaces".Also while creating multiple interface and deleting the same I am getting a crash due to pool not free error. If possible kindly request if anyone could please correct me. Thanks & Regards, Sreejith
