Subject: [dpdk-dev] rte_hash_iterate EAGAIN limit
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2020 14:25:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAD_8n+QsRVPsf6OJMuXJh1zd3iveWFmPnaOq_NDgS1p28i_n1g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'd like to submit a patch which changes the behavior of rte_hash_iterate
such that it will only check a small number of hash table positions (maybe
32), and if they're all empty, return -EAGAIN.

This will enable a user to call the function in a main packet processing
loop to do garbage collection on a hash table.

Would such a change be welcome?

Thanks in advance,
Reuben
