Callback prototype for initializing lcores.

Parameters

lcore_id The lcore to consider.
arg An opaque pointer passed at callback registration.

Returns

• -1 when refusing this operation,
• 0 otherwise.

Definition at line 241 of file rte_lcore.h.

Callback prototype for uninitializing lcores.

Parameters

lcore_id The lcore to consider.
arg An opaque pointer passed at callback registration.

Definition at line 251 of file rte_lcore.h.

Callback prototype for iterating over lcores.

Parameters

lcore_id The lcore to consider.
arg An opaque pointer coming from the caller.

Returns

• 0 lets the iteration continue.
• !0 makes the iteration stop.

Definition at line 309 of file rte_lcore.h.

Callback to allow applications to report lcore usage.

Parameters

lcore_id The lcore to consider.
usage Counters representing this lcore usage. This can never be NULL.

Returns

• 0 if fields in usage were updated successfully. The fields that the application does not support must not be modified.
• a negative value if the information is not available or if any error occurred.

Definition at line 359 of file rte_lcore.h.

The lcore role (used in RTE or not).

Definition at line 33 of file rte_lcore.h.

Per thread 'lcore id'.

Get a lcore's role.

Parameters

lcore_id The identifier of the lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.

Returns

The role of the lcore.

Test if the core supplied has a specific role

Parameters

lcore_id The identifier of the lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.
role The role to be checked against.

Returns

Boolean value: positive if test is true; otherwise returns 0.

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 registered non-EAL thread) or LCORE_ID_ANY (in unregistered non-EAL thread)

Definition at line 78 of file rte_lcore.h.

Get the id of the main lcore

Returns

the id of the main lcore

Return the number of execution units (lcores) on the system.

Returns

the number of execution units (lcores) on the system.

Return the index of the lcore starting from zero.

When option -c or -l is given, the index corresponds to the order in the list. For example: -c 0x30, lcore 4 has index 0, and 5 has index 1. -l 22,18 lcore 22 has index 0, and 18 has index 1.

Parameters

lcore_id The targeted lcore, or -1 for the current one.

Returns

The relative index, or -1 if not enabled.

Return the ID of the physical socket of the logical core we are running on.

Returns

the ID of current lcoreid's physical socket

Return number of physical sockets detected on the system.

Note that number of nodes may not be correspondent to their physical id's: for example, a system may report two socket id's, but the actual socket id's may be 0 and 8.

Returns

the number of physical sockets as recognized by EAL

Return socket id with a particular index.

This will return socket id at a particular position in list of all detected physical socket id's. For example, on a machine with sockets [0, 8], passing 1 as a parameter will return 8.

Parameters

idx index of physical socket id to return

Returns

• physical socket id as recognized by EAL
• -1 on error, with errno set to EINVAL

Get the ID of the physical socket of the specified lcore

Parameters

lcore_id the targeted lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.

Returns

the ID of lcoreid's physical socket

Return the id of the lcore on a socket starting from zero.

Parameters

lcore_id The targeted lcore, or -1 for the current one.

Returns

The relative index, or -1 if not enabled.

Return the cpuset for a given lcore.

Parameters

lcore_id the targeted lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.

Returns

The cpuset of that lcore

Test if an lcore is enabled.

Parameters

lcore_id The identifier of the lcore, which MUST be between 0 and RTE_MAX_LCORE-1.

Returns

True if the given lcore is enabled; false otherwise.

Get the next enabled lcore ID.

Parameters

i The current lcore (reference).
skip_main If true, do not return the ID of the main lcore.
wrap If true, go back to 0 when RTE_MAX_LCORE is reached; otherwise, return RTE_MAX_LCORE.

Returns

The next lcore_id or RTE_MAX_LCORE if not found.

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.

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.

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).

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.

List all lcores.

Parameters

f The output stream where the dump should be sent.

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.

Unregister current thread and release lcore if one was associated.
