Function Documentation

int rte_thread_create (rte_thread_t * thread_id, const rte_thread_attr_t * thread_attr, rte_thread_func thread_func, void * arg)

Create a new thread that will invoke the 'thread_func' routine.

Parameters:

thread_id A pointer that will store the id of the newly created thread.
thread_attr Attributes that are used at the creation of the new thread.
thread_func The routine that the new thread will invoke when starting execution.
arg Argument to be passed to the 'thread_func' routine.

Returns:

On success, return 0. On failure, return a positive errno-style error number.

int rte_thread_create_control (rte_thread_t * thread, const char * name, rte_thread_func thread_func, 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 EAL threads 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 RTE_THREAD_NAME_SIZE characters including '\0').
thread_func Function to be executed by the new thread.
arg Argument passed to thread_func.

Returns:

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

__rte_internal int rte_thread_create_internal_control (rte_thread_t * id, const char * name, rte_thread_func func, void * arg)

Create an internal control thread.

Creates a control thread with the given name prefixed. If setting the name of the thread fails, the error is ignored and logged.

The affinity of the new thread is based on the CPU affinity retrieved at the time rte_eal_init() was called, the EAL threads are then excluded.

Parameters:

id Filled with the thread ID of the new created thread.
name The name of the control thread. See RTE_THREAD_INTERNAL_NAME_SIZE for maximum length. The name of the driver or library should be first, then followed by a hyphen and more details. It will be prefixed with RTE_THREAD_INTERNAL_PREFIX by this function.
func Function to be executed by the new thread.
arg Argument passed to func.

Returns:

On success, returns 0; a negative value otherwise.

int rte_thread_join (rte_thread_t thread_id, uint32_t * value_ptr)

Waits for the thread identified by 'thread_id' to terminate

Parameters:

thread_id The identifier of the thread.

Returns:

On success, return 0. On failure, return a positive errno-style error number.

int rte_thread_detach (rte_thread_t thread_id)

Indicate that the return value of the thread is not needed and all thread resources should be release when the thread terminates.

Parameters:

thread_id The id of the thread to be detached.

Returns:

On success, return 0. On failure, return a positive errno-style error number.

rte_thread_t rte_thread_self (void)

void rte_thread_set_name (rte_thread_t thread_id, const char * thread_name)

Set the name of the thread.

This API is a noop if the underlying platform does not support setting the thread name or the platform-specific API used to set the thread name fails.

Parameters:

thread_id The id of the thread to set name.
thread_name The name to set. Truncated to RTE_THREAD_NAME_SIZE, including terminating NUL if necessary.

__rte_internal void rte_thread_set_prefixed_name (rte_thread_t id, const char * name)

Set the name of an internal thread with the common prefix.

This API is a noop if the underlying platform does not support setting the thread name, or if it fails.

Parameters:

id The ID of the thread to set name.
name The name to set after being prefixed. See RTE_THREAD_INTERNAL_NAME_SIZE for maximum length. The name of the driver or library should be first, then followed by a hyphen and more details. It will be prefixed with RTE_THREAD_INTERNAL_PREFIX by this function.

int rte_thread_equal (rte_thread_t t1, rte_thread_t t2)

Check if 2 thread ids are equal.

Parameters:

t1 First thread id.
t2 Second thread id.

Returns:

If the ids are equal, return nonzero. Otherwise, return 0.

int rte_thread_attr_init (rte_thread_attr_t * attr)
