Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] ixgbe: fix multi-process support
Date: Fri,  5 Dec 2014 13:46:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1417787182-20712-1-git-send-email-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <533710CFB86FA344BFBF2D6802E60286C9D147@SHSMSX101.ccr.corp.intel.com>

When using multiple processes, the TX function used in all processes
should be the same, otherwise the secondary processes cannot transmit
more than tx-ring-size - 1 packets.
To achieve this, we extract out the code to select the ixgbe TX function
to be used into a separate function inside the ixgbe driver, and call
that from a secondary process when it is attaching to an
already-configured NIC.

Testing with symmetric MP app shows that we are able to RX and TX from
both primary and secondary processes once this patch is applied.

Signed-off-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

----
V2 Changes:
* Moved check for primary/secondary process into set_tx_function instead
  of ixgbe_txq_vec_setup, which reduces scope of diff.
* Added/cleaned up some code comments for this change
