Subject: drivers use of service cores
Date: Tue, 05 Sep 2023 17:40:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6541993.tM3a2QDmDi@thomas> (raw)
Hello,
I think we can improve the developer experience for using service cores
from a driver, like finding or allocating a service core.
We may take some code and ideas from sfc and nfp drivers,
like in these functions:
nfp_map_service()
sfc_mae_counter_service_register()
sfc_get_service_lcore()
If it is not possible to use a service core,
we could default to using a control thread.
So the driver would never fail because of a thread initialization.
What do you think about proposing such a high level API
in order to get more drivers using it?
