[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/7] eventdev: remove event schedule API for SW driver

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/7] eventdev: remove event schedule API for SW driver

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

The software event dev is a centralized software scheduler and needs
`rte_event_schedule` to be called repeatedly in order to distribute the
events. In most cases, this requires a dedicated lcore to achieve this.

With the introduction to the rte_service concept, software eventdev
driver can register event distribution as a service component and
offload it to a service core. Thus removing the requirement of calling
`rte_event_schedule` explicitly and abstracts the differences between
HW and SW PMD to provide a single interface to the application.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/7] eventdev: add API to get service id

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

In case of sw event device the scheduling can be done on a service core
using the service registered at the time of probe.
This patch adds a helper function to get the service id that can be used
by the application to assign a lcore for the service to run on.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/7] event/sw: extend service capability

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

Extend the service capability of the sw event device by exposing service id
to the application.
The application can use service id to configure service cores to run event
scheduling.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/7] app/test-eventdev: update app to use service cores

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

Use service cores for offloading event scheduling in case of
centralized scheduling instead of calling the schedule api directly.
This removes the dependency on dedicated scheduler core specified by
giving command line option --slcore.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/7] eventdev: add API to get service id

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

From: Pavan Bhagavatula <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>

In case of sw event device the scheduling can be done on a service core
using the service registered at the time of probe.
This patch adds a helper function to get the service id that can be used
by the application to assign a lcore for the service to run on.

This removes the dependency on dedicated scheduler core specified by
giving command line option --slcore.

There are references to "slcore" in documentation(doc/guides/tools/testeventdev.rst).
Please remove the slcore references and update example command to use service

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/7] eventdev: add API to get service id

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

From: Pavan Bhagavatula <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>

In case of sw event device the scheduling can be done on a service core
using the service registered at the time of probe.
This patch adds a helper function to get the service id that can be used
by the application to assign a lcore for the service to run on.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/7] test/eventdev: update test to use service core

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

From: Pavan Bhagavatula <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>

Use service core for event scheduling instead of calling the event schedule
api directly.

See note below, about keeping the functionality provided by
fdata->sched_core[] intact.

Previously,  the fdata->sched_core[] array contained a "coremask" for scheduling.
A core running the scheduling could *also* perform other work. AKA: a single core
could perform all of RX, Sched, Worker, and TX.

Due to the service-core requiring to "take" the full core, there is no option to
have a core "split" its work into schedule() and RX,TX,Worker. This is a service core
implementation limitation - however it should be resolved for this sample app too.

The solution is to enable an ordinary DPDK (non-service-core) thread to run
a service. This MUST be enabled at the service-cores library level, to keep atomics
behavior of services etc), and hence removing rte_event_schedule() is still required.

The changes should become simpler than proposed here, instead of the wait_schedule() hack,
we can just run an iteration of the SW PMD using the newly-added service core iter function.

I have (just) sent a patch for service-cores to enable running a service on an ordinary
DPDK lcore, see here: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2017-October/080022.html

Hope you can rework patches 4/7 and 5/7 to use the newly provided functionality!
Let me know if the intended usage of the new function is unclear in any way.

Agreed, current solution for controlled scheduling of event_sw is bit hacky,
the added flexibility of service core API helps a lot. Will rebase my patchset
on top of service core patches and spin up a v4.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/7] eventdev: add API to get service id

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

From: Pavan Bhagavatula <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>

In case of sw event device the scheduling can be done on a service core
using the service registered at the time of probe.
This patch adds a helper function to get the service id that can be used
by the application to assign a lcore for the service to run on.

Extend the service capability of the sw event device by exposing service id

The application can use service id to configure service cores to run event

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 4/7] test/eventdev: update test to use service iter

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

Use service run iter for event scheduling instead of calling the event
schedule api directly.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/7] eventdev: add API to get service id

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

In case of sw event device the scheduling can be done on a service core
using the service registered at the time of probe.
This patch adds a helper function to get the service id that can be used
by the application to assign a lcore for the service to run on.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 4/7] test/eventdev: update test to use service iter

[Pavan Nikhilesh]

Use service run iter for event scheduling instead of calling the event
schedule api directly.

Signed-off-by: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@caviumnetworks.com>
Acked-by: Harry van Haaren <harry.van.haaren@intel.com>
---

 v4 changes:
  - rebase patchset on top of http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/30732/
  for controlled event scheduling in case event_sw
