Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] mempool: remove non-EAL thread note from header
Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 12:04:28 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1490202268-3799-1-git-send-email-gage.eads@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1490063680-13969-1-git-send-email-gage.eads@intel.com>
Commit 30e6399892276 ("mempool: support non-EAL thread") added the capability
for non-EAL threads to use the mempool library. This commit removes the note
indicating that the mempool library cannot be used safely by non-EAL threads.
Also, fix a typo.

* Note: the mempool implementation is not preemptable. A lcore must
* not be interrupted by another task that uses the same mempool
- * (because it uses a ring which is not preemptable). Also, mempool
- * functions must not be used outside the DPDK environment: for
- * example, in linuxapp environment, a thread that is not created by
- * the EAL must not use mempools. This is due to the per-lcore cache
- * that won't work as rte_lcore_id() will not return a correct value.
