>From cover letter for this patch: This patch proposes the addition of an API which allows an application to query the attributes of a service lcore. It adds one such new attribute, named "loops", which is a counter that tracks the number of times the service core has looped in the service runner function (the driver function that invokes services mapped to a service core). This is useful to applications that desire a "liveness" check to make sure a service core is not stuck. When sending a single patch it is not required to send with --cover-letter. I like the description provided in the cover letter, perhaps merge the current commit message with the cover-letter paragraph? For the v2, please include Acked-by: Harry van Haaren <[email protected]>
