[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: fix recording of detected/enabled logical cores

[Thomas Monjalon]

From: Ivan Boule <ivan.boule at 6wind.com>

1) In the EAL initialization phase, invoke the function rte_eal_cpu_init
   to detect the set of running cores (and enable them by default) before
   processing the [enabled] core mask option that is performed during the
   parsing of EAL arguments.

2) In the function rte_eal_cpu_init():
   - to parse the set of all running logical cores on the machine, do not
     use the RTE_LCORE_FOREACH macro that considers the set of already
     detected cores...
     Instead, use a standard loop based on the RTE_MAX_LCORE constant.
   - explicitely set to ROLE_RTE the role of each detected logical core
     that is recorded in the EAL configuration, as all running cores are
     enabled by default.

3) In the function eal_parse_coremask(), update the "lcore_count" field
   of the EAL configuration with the effective number of logical cores
   that are set in the mask of enabled logical cores.
