Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] [RFC] eventdev: add event adapter for ethernet Rx queues
Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 10:00:22 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <59250C5E.6020008@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170511163840.GA18505@jerin>

Hi Jerin,

Comments inline.

Also, another function needed is
bool rte_event_eth_rx_adapter_multithread_capable(void). 

This would be used to set the "multithread_capable" service core 
configuration parameter. 

Thanks,
Nikhil

Yes, in this case, the application creates a service per adapter, it may create multiple
Rx event adapters with each adapter handling a subset of Rx queues. As per Harry's
patch, only DPDK internal components are expected to request service cores, once Harry posts
an updated patch, I will make any necesssary changes and post the next version of this
patch.

OK.

Yes, its true.

Sounds good.
