Subject: [PATCH v2] test/lcores: reduce cpu consumption
Date: Thu,  7 Mar 2024 15:16:06 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240307141608.1450695-1-david.marchand@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240307113324.845309-1-david.marchand@redhat.com>

Busy looping on RTE_MAX_LCORES threads is too heavy in some CI or build
systems running the fast-test testsuite.
Ask for a reschedule at the threads synchronisation points.
