Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] eal: add API that sleeps while waiting for threads
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2018 23:21:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181015222110.61564-1-ferruh.yigit@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181011195753.4778-1-ferruh.yigit@intel.com>

It is common that sample applications call rte_eal_wait_lcore() while
waiting for worker threads to be terminated.
Mostly master lcore keeps waiting in this function.

The waiting app for termination is not a time critical task, app can
prefer a sleep version of the waiting to consume less cycles.

A sleeping version of the API, rte_eal_wait_lcore_sleep(), has been
added which uses pthread conditions.

Sample applications will be updated later to use this API.

v2:
* use pthread cond instead of usleep
