[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/7] Register external threads as lcore

2020-06-10 Thread David Marchand
OVS and some other applications have been hacking into DPDK internals to fake EAL threads and avoid performance penalty of only having non-EAL threads. This series proposes to add a new type of lcores and maps those external threads to such lcores. Those threads won't run the DPDK eal mainloop and
