[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/7] service cores: header and implementation

Harry van Haaren harry.van.haaren at intel.com
Fri Jul 7 18:41:01 CEST 2017


Add header files, update .map files with new service
functions, and add the service header to the doxygen
for building.

This service header API allows DPDK to use services as
a concept of something that requires CPU cycles. An example
is a PMD that runs in software to schedule events, where a
hardware version exists that does not require a CPU.

The code presented here is based on an initial RFC:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-May/065207.html
This was then reworked, and RFC v2 with the changes posted:
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-June/067194.html

This is the fourth iteration of the service core concept,
with 2 RFCs and this being v2 of the implementation.

Signed-off-by: Harry van Haaren <harry.van.haaren at intel.com>

---

v4:
- Fixed (unsigned) checkpatch error
- Fixed misleading-indentation/if { } brackets (checkpatch/Jerin)
- Fixed set function argument to be "enable" instead of "enabled" (Jerin)
- Improve doxygen comment for size of array in rte_service_core_list (Jerin)
- Fixed typos (Jerin)
- Optimized atomic clear after running service (Jerin)
- Added smp_rmb() at end of loop to re-load runstate / mapping (Jerin)
- Fix issue with lcore role not being adhered to (Jerin)
- Add experimental warnings for all service core functions (Thomas)
- Moved service core functions into EXPERIMENTAL section of .map (Thomas)
- Improve documentation of rte_service_lcore_reset_all() (Harry)

v3:
- None.

v2:
Thanks Jerin for review - below a list your suggested changes;
- Doxygen rename to "service cores" for consistency
- use lcore instead of core for function names
- Fix about 10 typos / seplling msitakse ;)
- Dix doxygen /** comments for functions
- Doxygen @param[out] improvements
- int8_t for socket_id to ordinary int
- Rename MACROS for readability
- Align structs to cache lines
- Allocate fastpath-used data from hugepages
- Added/fixed memory barriers for multi-core scheduling
- Add const to variables, and hoist above loop
- Optimize cmpset atomic if MT_SAFE or only one core mapped
- Statistics collection only when requested
- Add error check for array pointer
- Remove panic() calls from library
- Fix TODO notes from previous patchset

There are also some other changes;
- Checkpatch issues fixed
- .map file updates
- Add rte_service_get_by_name() function
