2018-11-13vlib rename vlib_frame_args(...) to vlib_frame_scalar_args(..)Damjan Marion1-3/+3
Typically we have scalar_size == 0, so it doesn't matter but vlib_frame_args was providing pointer to scalar frame data, not vector data. To avoid future confusion function is renamed to vlib_frame_scalar_args(...) Change-Id: I48b75523b46d487feea24f3f3cb10c528dde516f Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>

2017-10-06tuntap: Introduce per thread structure to suport multi-threadsSteven1-31/+43
https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/8551/ decoupled the global variable, namely tm->iovecs from TX and RX. However, to support multi-threads, we have to eliminate the use of this global variable with per thread variable. I notice that rx_buffers must also be per thread variable. So, we introduce per thread struct to contain rx_buffers and iovecs. Each thread will find the per thread struct with thread_index.

2017-09-28tun/tap: Bad packets sent to kernel via tun/tap interfaceSteven1-11/+15
It was observed that under heavy traffic, VPP accidentally sent traffic with the wrong source and destination to the tun/tap interface. Traffic appears to be sent to the wrong direction. This problem is only seen when worker thread is configured. When worker thread is used, TX and RX may reside in different core. Yet both TX and RX threads are sharing the same global variable, namely iovecs without any mutex or memory barrier protection. This creates a race condition when heavy traffic is blasted to VPP, like 1000 pps. We could create a mutex or memory barrier to ensure atomic memory access. But why bother? It is a lot cheaper to just decouple the iovecs such that TX and RX have their own iovecs. Change-Id: I86a5a19bd8de54d54f32e1f0845bae6a81bbf686 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>

2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-2/+2
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.
