◆ 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_register_usage_cb()

__rte_experimental void rte_lcore_register_usage_cb ( rte_lcore_usage_cb cb )

Warning: EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice.

Register a callback from an application to be called in rte_lcore_dump() and the /eal/lcore/info telemetry endpoint handler. Applications are expected to report lcore usage statistics via this callback.

If a callback was already registered, it can be replaced with another callback or unregistered with NULL. The previously registered callback may remain in use for an undetermined period of time.

Parameters

cb	The callback function.

◆ 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_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.
