2017-12-15VPP-1102: fix dangling references in RPC handlingDave Barach1-0/+3
Queue RPC calls and send them from the main dispatch loop. As things stood, if the vpp main input queue filled, worker threads could enter a barrier-sync spin-wait in the middle of processing a frame. If thread 0 decided to recreate worker thread data structures, the worker thread(s) could easily crash. Legislate the problem out of existence by enqueueing RPC messages only from the main dispatch loop. At that point, doing a barrier-sync wait is perfectly OK.

- refactor existing congestion control code (RFC 6582/5681).

2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-47/+22
This patch deprecates stack-based thread identification, Also removes requirement that thread stacks are adjacent. Finally, possibly annoying for some folks, it renames all occurences of cpu_index and cpu_number with thread index. Using word "cpu" is misleading here as thread can be migrated ti different CPU, and also it is not related to linux cpu index.
