Detailed Description

Threading functions

Simple threads functionality supplied by EAL.

Definition in file rte_thread.h.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct eal_tls_key* rte_tls_key

TLS key type, an opaque pointer.

Definition at line 26 of file rte_thread.h.

Function Documentation

int rte_thread_set_affinity

(

rte_cpuset_t *

cpusetp

)

Set core affinity of the current thread. Support both EAL and non-EAL thread and update TLS.

Parameters

cpusetp

Pointer to CPU affinity to set.

Returns

On success, return 0; otherwise return -1;

void rte_thread_get_affinity

(

rte_cpuset_t *

cpusetp

)

Get core affinity of the current thread.

Parameters

cpusetp

Pointer to CPU affinity of current thread. It presumes input is not NULL, otherwise it causes panic.

__rte_experimental int rte_thread_tls_key_create	(	rte_tls_key *	key,
		void(*)(void *)	destructor
	)

Create a TLS data key visible to all threads in the process. the created key is later used to get/set a value. and optional destructor can be set to be called when a thread exits.

Parameters

key	Pointer to store the allocated key.
destructor	The function to be called when the thread exits. Ignored on Windows OS.

Returns

On success, zero. On failure, a negative number.

__rte_experimental int rte_thread_tls_key_delete

(

rte_tls_key

key

)

Delete a TLS data key visible to all threads in the process.

Parameters

key	The key allocated by rte_thread_tls_key_create().

Returns

On success, zero. On failure, a negative number.

__rte_experimental int rte_thread_tls_value_set	(	rte_tls_key	key,
		const void *	value
	)

Set value bound to the TLS key on behalf of the calling thread.

Parameters

key	The key allocated by rte_thread_tls_key_create().
value	The value bound to the rte_tls_key key for the calling thread.

Returns

On success, zero. On failure, a negative number.

__rte_experimental void* rte_thread_tls_value_get

(

rte_tls_key

key

)

Get value bound to the TLS key on behalf of the calling thread.

Parameters

key	The key allocated by rte_thread_tls_key_create().

Returns

On success, value data pointer (can also be NULL). On failure, NULL and an error number is set in rte_errno.
