Subject: Thread priority for background tasks
Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2025 20:40:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <98CBD80474FA8B44BF855DF32C47DC35E9FC19@smartserver.smartshare.dk> (raw)
There are only two thread priorities in the enum rte_thread_priority: Normal and Real-time Critical.
I would like to poll ethdev counters, collect garbage and perform other jitter non-sensitive tasks in a control thread with lower priority than my ordinary control threads, so it will be preempted by any work ready for my ordinary control threads.
Which DPDK API am I supposed to use to assign this below-normal priority to my "background" control thread?
Or: Aren't we missing a priority like Linux' SCHED_BATCH?
Med venlig hilsen / Kind regards,
-Morten Brørup
