[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 2/2] eal: add generic thread-local-storage functions

Tue Jan 5 18:06:35 CET 2021


Add support for TLS functionality in EAL.

The following functions are added:
rte_thread_tls_key_create - function to create a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_key_delete - function to delete a TLS data key.
rte_thread_tls_value_set - function to set value bound to the TLS key
rte_thread_tls_value_get - function to get value bound to the TLS key

TLS key will be defined by the new type rte_tls_key.

The API Allocates the thread local storage (TLS) key.
Any thread of the process can subsequently use this key
to store and retrieve values that are local to the thread.

Those functions are added in addition to TLS capability
in rte_per_lcore.h to allow user to use the thread reasouce
destruction capability in rte_thread_tls_key_create.

Windows implementation is under librte_eal/windows and
implemented using WIN32 API for Windows only.

common implementation is under librte_eal/common and
implemented using pthread for UNIX compilation.

v3: switch from pthread shim to generic eal implementation [DmitryK]
v4: modify file names, function names, move unix code to common
for future external pthreads support [DmitryK]
v5: rename var used for external pthreads, add description in
meson_options.txt. [DmitryK]
v6: remove external_pthread support as it collide with pthread
shim implementation [DmitryK]
v7: move unix code to unix instead of common, rename functions
add more documentation [Thomas]
