Function Documentation

◆ RTE_DECLARE_PER_LCORE() [1/2]

RTE_DECLARE_PER_LCORE ( unsigned  ,
_lcore_id   
)

Per thread "lcore id".

◆ RTE_DECLARE_PER_LCORE() [2/2]

RTE_DECLARE_PER_LCORE ( rte_cpuset_t  ,
_cpuset   
)

Per thread "cpuset".

◆ rte_eal_lcore_role()

enum rte_lcore_role_t rte_eal_lcore_role ( unsigned int  lcore_id)

Get a lcore's role.

Parameters
lcore_idThe identifier of the lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.
Returns
The role of the lcore.

◆ rte_lcore_id()

static unsigned rte_lcore_id ( void  )
inlinestatic

Return the Application thread ID of the execution unit.

Note: in most cases the lcore id returned here will also correspond to the processor id of the CPU on which the thread is pinned, this will not be the case if the user has explicitly changed the thread to core affinities using –lcores EAL argument e.g. –lcores '(0-3)@10' to run threads with lcore IDs 0, 1, 2 and 3 on physical core 10..

Returns
Logical core ID (in EAL thread) or LCORE_ID_ANY (in non-EAL thread)
