[dpdk-dev] rte_lcore_to_socket_id(lcore_id) mismatches to that of lstopo

[Moon-Sang Lee]

I printed cpu layout with cpu_layout.py tool in dpdk tools directory and
lstopo linux command.
They shows the same result that my lcore 0, 2, 4, and 6 are in socket #1.
However, rte_lcore_to_socket_id() returns 0 for lcore 0, 2, 4, and 6.
Why does this difference occur and which value should I use to match lcore
to socket?
(i.e. I'm using dpdk 2.2.0 on Xeon E5520 that is based on nehalem
microarchitecture.)

code fragment:
            socketid = rte_lcore_to_socket_id(lcore_id);
            RTE_LOG(INFO, APP, "init_mem: lcore_id = %d, socketid = %d\n",
                                    lcore_id, socketid);

APP: init_mem: lcore_id = 4, socketid = 0
APP: init_mem: lcore_id = 6, socketid = 0
