Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/5] eal: new function to create control threads
Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 16:46:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180424144651.13145-3-olivier.matz@6wind.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180424144651.13145-1-olivier.matz@6wind.com>

Many parts of dpdk use their own management threads. Introduce a new
wrapper for thread creation that will be extended in next commits to set
the name and affinity.

To be consistent with other DPDK APIs, the return value is negative in
case of error, which was not the case for pthread_create().
