Setting ROLE_RTE for RTE_MAX_LCORE lcores is incorrect. There should be a check
to set only service lcores something like this:
for (i = 0; i < RTE_MAX_LCORE; i++) {
- lcore_states[i].service_mask = 0;
- set_lcore_state(i, ROLE_RTE);
- lcore_states[i].runstate = RUNSTATE_STOPPED;
+ if (lcore_states[i].is_service_core) {
+ lcore_states[i].service_mask = 0;
+ set_lcore_state(i, ROLE_RTE);
+ lcore_states[i].runstate = RUNSTATE_STOPPED;
+ }
Cheers,
Pavan.
