Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/6] net/mlx5: enable secondary process to register DMA memory
Date: Mon,  1 Apr 2019 14:17:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190401211757.26241-5-yskoh@mellanox.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190401211755.KBG3zNs2SyQ-Dt_wanw1OTlr1lisH1yed8CilrtF_OQ@z> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190401211757.26241-1-yskoh@mellanox.com>

The Memory Region (MR) for DMA memory can't be created from secondary
process due to lib/driver limitation. Whenever it is needed, secondary
process can make a request to primary process through the EAL IPC channel
(rte_mp_msg) which is established on initialization. Once a MR is created
by primary process, it is immediately visible to secondary process because
the MR list is global per a device. Thus, secondary process can look up the
list after the request is successfully returned.

-  - All mempools must be initialized before rte_eth_dev_start().
   - External memory unregistered in EAL memseg list cannot be used for DMA
