Subject: [PATCH v2] examples/distributor: update dynamic configuration
Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2022 22:54:25 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220628195425.401077-1-omer.yamac@ceng.metu.edu.tr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220621211346.81545-1-omer.yamac@ceng.metu.edu.tr>

In this patch,
    * It is possible to switch the running mode of the distributor
using the command line argument.
    * With "-c" parameter, you can run RX and Distributor
on the same core.
    * Without "-c" parameter, you can run RX and Distributor
on the different core.
    * Syntax error of the single RX and distributor core is fixed.
    * Consecutive termination of the lcores fixed.
The termination order was wrong, and you couldn't terminate the
application while traffic was capturing. The current order is
RX -> Distributor -> TX -> Workers
    * When "-c" parameter is active, the wasted distributor core is
also deactivated in the main function.

Fixes: 4a7f40c0ff9a ("examples/distributor: add dedicated core")
