Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] doc: announce the deprecation of lcore state FINISHED
Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 14:59:12 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210730195912.17859-1-honnappa.nagarahalli@arm.com> (raw)

Lcore state FINISHED is used by the worker thread to indicate that
it has completed the assigned task. The state is changed to
WAIT by another thread after it observes the updated state. This
additional step is redundant. After this deprecation, the worker
thread will update the state to WAIT.

 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
+* eal: The lcore state FINISHED will be removed from the enum
+  rte_lcore_state_t. The lcore state WAIT is enough to represent the same
+  state.
+
 * kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
   for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
