In this patch we suggest a new name for lcore-worker. In case of higher order (greater than 99) logical cores, name is truncated (length is restricted to 16 characters, including the terminating null byte ('\0')) and it makes hard to follow threads.
Ex: This issue can be generated using following arguments: --lcores=0,10@1,100@2 Then we have; lcore-worker-10 lcore-worker-10 Signed-off-by: Abdullah Ömer Yamaç <omer.ya...@ceng.metu.edu.tr> Acked-by: Stephen Hemminger <step...@networkplumber.org> --- Cc: David Marchand <david.march...@redhat.com> --- lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c | 2 +- lib/eal/linux/eal.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c b/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c index ee5c929da8..a1bb5363b1 100644 --- a/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c +++ b/lib/eal/freebsd/eal.c @@ -817,7 +817,7 @@ rte_eal_init(int argc, char **argv) /* Set thread_name for aid in debugging. */ snprintf(thread_name, sizeof(thread_name), - "lcore-worker-%d", i); + "rte-worker-%d", i); rte_thread_setname(lcore_config[i].thread_id, thread_name); ret = pthread_setaffinity_np(lcore_config[i].thread_id, diff --git a/lib/eal/linux/eal.c b/lib/eal/linux/eal.c index 46bf52cef0..9a168b7773 100644 --- a/lib/eal/linux/eal.c +++ b/lib/eal/linux/eal.c @@ -1248,7 +1248,7 @@ rte_eal_init(int argc, char **argv) /* Set thread_name for aid in debugging. */ snprintf(thread_name, sizeof(thread_name), - "lcore-worker-%d", i); + "rte-worker-%d", i); ret = rte_thread_setname(lcore_config[i].thread_id, thread_name); if (ret != 0) -- 2.27.0
