Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/15/26. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/756bc07a30c5958db2c3fdf6172fdb3f9d280e5f

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] app/dma-perf: fix hang with worker on main lcore

[ upstream commit 79147f0e226cb773db421eee7a0ca721989162ba ]

When a configured worker lcore is same as EAL main lcore, the main
thread calls `rte_eal_remote_launch()` on itself and then waits for
`worker_info.ready_flag`. The worker function cannot run on the main
lcore while the main thread is blocked in that loop, and the test hangs.

Reject such cases early in the `run_test()`.

Fixes: 623dc9364dc6 ("app/dma-perf: introduce DMA performance test")
