Subject: [PATCH v3 0/7] support reinit flow
Date: Mon, 14 Aug 2023 23:52:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230815035239.1365591-1-okaya@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Sinan Kaya <okaya@kernel.org>
We want to be able to call rte_eal_init() and rte_eal_cleanup()
APIs back to back for maintanance reasons.
Here is a summary of the code we have seen so far:
1. some code support getting called multiple times by keeping
a static variable.
2. some code initializes once but never clean up after them and
don't have a cleanup API.
3. some code assumes that they only get called once during the
lifecycle of the process.
Most changes in this patch center around following the #1 design
principle.
Why?
It is not always ideal to reinitialize a DPDK process. Memory needs
to be reinitialized, hugetables need to warm up etc.
Changed from
v1:
Fix checkpatch warnings
v2:
rebase to most recent DPDK.
