Bug ID: 600
Summary: Windows DPDK real-time priority threads causing thread
starvation
Product: DPDK
Version: 20.08
Hardware: All
OS: Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: Normal
Component: core
Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
Reporter: odia@nvidia.com
Target Milestone: ---
During our verification tests on Windows DPDK we've noticed that DPDK polling
threads, which run in REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS are causing starvation to other
threads from the OS which need to change affinity and run in lower priority.
While running an application for a while we see the OS thread waits for 2:30
minutes and raises a bugcheck, see below example of such flow:
1) DPDK thread running on core-0 in real-time high priority(24) polling mode.
2) The thread is blocking the system function NtSetSystemInformation
(ExpUpdateTimerConfiguration) in another thread from
switching to core-0 via KeSetSystemGroupAffinityThread since the calling
thread is priority 15.
3) NtSetSystemInformation exclusively acquired system-wide lock
(ExpTimeRefreshLock) hence
it blocks other threads (e.g. calling NtQuerySystemInformation).
