Cgroup is a Linux kernel feature that limits, accounts +for and isolates the resource usage, like CPU, memory, disk I/O, network, +etc of a collection of processes. Now, it's focus on the CPU usage. + +Prerequisites +------------- +Support igb_uio driver, kernel is 3.11+. +Use "modeprobe uio" "modprobe igb_uio" and then +use "./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio device_bus_id" to bind the ports. + +Assuming that an Intel� DPDK build has been set up and the testpmd +applications have been built. + +Os required: Linux and FreeBSD + +Test Case 1: Basic operation +---------------------------- + +To run the application, start the testpmd with the lcoress all running with +threads and also the unique core assigned, command as follows:: + + ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores='0@8,(4-5)@9' -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc + EAL: Master lcore 0 is ready (tid=ffd4900;cpuset=[8]) + EAL: lcore 4 is ready (tid=873e7700;cpuset=[9]) + EAL: lcore 5 is ready (tid=873e7700;cpuset=[9]) + +To check the output, we shall make sure the lcore are init on the correct cpu. +e.g. Duing INIT log we can found below: + +The process should start successfully and display a command prompt as follows:: + + ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores='0@8,(4-5)@9' -n 4 -- -i --portmask=0xc + Checking link statuses... + Port 0 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex + Port 1 Link Up - speed 10000 Mbps - full-duplex + Done + +Start the packet forwarding as follows:: + + testpmd>set fwd mac + +Before running the test, make sure the core is a unique one otherwise, +the throughput will be floating on different cores, +another thing is to make sure all the logic cores are running, command as follows:: + + testpmd>set corelist 4,5 + +Pay attention that set corelist need to be configured before start, +otherwise, it will not work:: + + testpmd>start + testpmd>show config fwd + +Using the command to find the threads that's running, as follows:: + + ps -C testpmd -L -opid,tid,%cpu,psr,args + +Result as follows: + + PID TID %CPU PSR COMMAND + 179459 179459 0.2 8 ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd --lcores=0 at 8,(4-5)@9 -n 4
