typedef uint32_t(* rte_thread_func) (void *arg)

Thread function

Function pointer to thread start routine.

Parameters

arg Argument passed to rte_thread_create().

Returns

Thread function exit value.

Definition at line 53 of file rte_thread.h.

typedef struct eal_tls_key* rte_thread_key

TLS key type, an opaque pointer.

Definition at line 78 of file rte_thread.h.

Thread priority values.

Enumerator

normal thread priority, the default
highest thread priority allowed

Definition at line 58 of file rte_thread.h.

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.

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.

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.

Waits for the thread identified by 'thread_id' to terminate

Parameters

thread_id The identifier of the thread.
value_ptr Stores the exit status of the thread.

Returns

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

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)

Get the id of the calling thread.

Returns

Return the thread id of the calling thread.

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.

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.

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.

Initialize the attributes of a thread. These attributes can be passed to the rte_thread_create() function that will create a new thread and set its attributes according to attr.

Parameters

attr Thread attributes to initialize.

Returns

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

Set the thread priority value in the thread attributes pointed to by 'thread_attr'.

Parameters

thread_attr Points to the thread attributes in which priority will be updated.
priority Points to the value of the priority to be set.

Returns

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

Set the CPU affinity value in the thread attributes pointed to by 'thread_attr'.

Parameters

thread_attr Points to the thread attributes in which affinity will be updated.
cpuset Points to the value of the affinity to be set.

Returns

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

Get the value of CPU affinity that is set in the thread attributes pointed to by 'thread_attr'.

Parameters

thread_attr Points to the thread attributes from which affinity will be retrieved.
cpuset Pointer to the memory that will store the affinity.

Returns

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

Set the affinity of thread 'thread_id' to the cpu set specified by 'cpuset'.

Parameters

thread_id Id of the thread for which to set the affinity.
cpuset Pointer to CPU affinity to set.

Returns

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

Get the affinity of thread 'thread_id' and store it in 'cpuset'.

Parameters

thread_id Id of the thread for which to get the affinity.
cpuset Pointer for storing the affinity value.

Returns

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

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;

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.

Get the priority of a thread.

Parameters

thread_id Id of the thread for which to get priority.
priority Location to store the retrieved priority.

Returns

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

Set the priority of a thread.

Parameters

thread_id Id of the thread for which to set priority.
priority Priority value to be set.

Returns

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

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 and an error number is set in rte_errno. rte_errno can be: ENOMEM - Memory allocation error. ENOEXEC - Specific OS error.

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

Parameters

key The key allocated by rte_thread_key_create().

Returns

On success, zero. On failure, a negative number and an error number is set in rte_errno. rte_errno can be: EINVAL - Invalid parameter passed. ENOEXEC - Specific OS error.

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

Parameters

key The key allocated by rte_thread_key_create().
value The value bound to the rte_thread_key key for the calling thread.

Returns

On success, zero. On failure, a negative number and an error number is set in rte_errno. rte_errno can be: EINVAL - Invalid parameter passed. ENOEXEC - Specific OS error.

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

Parameters

key The key allocated by rte_thread_key_create().

Returns

On success, value data pointer (can also be NULL). On failure, NULL and an error number is set in rte_errno. rte_errno can be: EINVAL - Invalid parameter passed. ENOEXEC - Specific OS error.
