◆ rte_lcore_callback_register()

void * rte_lcore_callback_register	(	const char *	name,
		rte_lcore_init_cb	init,
		rte_lcore_uninit_cb	uninit,
		void *	arg
	)

Register callbacks invoked when initializing and uninitializing a lcore.

This function calls the init callback with all initialized lcores. Any error reported by the init callback triggers a rollback calling the uninit callback for each lcore. If this step succeeds, the callbacks are put in the lcore callbacks list that will get called for each lcore allocation/release.

Note: callbacks execution is serialised under a write lock protecting the lcores and callbacks list.

Parameters

name	A name serving as a small description for this callback.
init	The callback invoked when a lcore_id is initialized. init can be NULL.
uninit	The callback invoked when a lcore_id is uninitialized. uninit can be NULL.
arg	An optional argument that gets passed to the callback when it gets invoked.

Returns: On success, returns an opaque pointer for the registered object. On failure (either memory allocation issue in the function itself or an error is returned by the init callback itself), returns NULL.

◆ rte_lcore_callback_unregister()

void rte_lcore_callback_unregister ( void * handle )

Unregister callbacks previously registered with rte_lcore_callback_register.

This function calls the uninit callback with all initialized lcores. The callbacks are then removed from the lcore callbacks list.

Parameters

handle The handle pointer returned by a former successful call to rte_lcore_callback_register.

◆ rte_lcore_iterate()

int rte_lcore_iterate	(	rte_lcore_iterate_cb	cb,
		void *	arg
	)

Iterate on all active lcores (ROLE_RTE, ROLE_SERVICE and ROLE_NON_EAL). No modification on the lcore states is allowed in the callback.

Note: as opposed to init/uninit callbacks, iteration callbacks can be invoked in parallel as they are run under a read lock protecting the lcores and callbacks list.

Parameters

cb	The callback that gets passed each lcore.
arg	An opaque pointer passed to cb.

Returns: Same return code as the callback last invocation (see rte_lcore_iterate_cb description).

◆ rte_lcore_dump()

void rte_lcore_dump ( FILE * f )

List all lcores.

Parameters

f	The output stream where the dump should be sent.

◆ rte_thread_setname()

int rte_thread_setname	(	pthread_t	id,
		const char *	name
	)

Set thread names.

Note: It fails with glibc < 2.12.

Parameters

id	Thread id.
name	Thread name to set.

Returns: On success, return 0; otherwise return a negative value.

Examples: examples/performance-thread/pthread_shim/main.c.

◆ rte_thread_getname()

__rte_experimental int rte_thread_getname	(	pthread_t	id,
		char *	name,
		size_t	len
	)

Get thread name.

Note: It fails with glibc < 2.12.

Parameters

id	Thread id.
name	Thread name to set.
len	Thread name buffer length.

Returns: On success, return 0; otherwise return a negative value.

◆ rte_thread_register()

int rte_thread_register ( void )

Register current non-EAL thread as a lcore.

Note

This API is not compatible with the multi-process feature:

if a primary process registers a non-EAL thread, then no secondary process will initialise.
if a secondary process initialises successfully, trying to register a non-EAL thread from either primary or secondary processes will always end up with the thread getting LCORE_ID_ANY as lcore.

Returns: On success, return 0; otherwise return -1 with rte_errno set.

◆ rte_thread_unregister()

void rte_thread_unregister ( void )

Unregister current thread and release lcore if one was associated.

◆ rte_ctrl_thread_create()

int rte_ctrl_thread_create	(	pthread_t *	thread,
		const char *	name,
		const pthread_attr_t *	attr,
		void ()(void *)	start_routine,
		void *	arg
	)

Create a control thread.

Creates a control thread with the given name and attributes. The affinity of the new thread is based on the CPU affinity retrieved at the time rte_eal_init() was called, the dataplane and service lcores are then excluded. If setting the name of the thread fails, the error is ignored and a debug message is logged.

Parameters

thread	Filled with the thread id of the new created thread.
name	The name of the control thread (max 16 characters including '\0').
attr	Attributes for the new thread.
start_routine	Function to be executed by the new thread.
arg	Argument passed to start_routine.

Returns: On success, returns 0; on error, it returns a negative value corresponding to the error number.

Examples: examples/kni/main.c, examples/vhost/main.c, and examples/vhost_blk/vhost_blk.c.
