Hi Olivier,

Some parts of dpdk use their own management threads. Most of the time,
the affinity of the thread is not properly set: it should not be scheduled
on the dataplane cores, because interrupting them can cause packet losses.
This patchset introduces a new wrapper for thread creation that does
the job automatically, avoiding code duplication.
v3:
* new patch: use this API in examples when relevant.
* replace pthread_kill by pthread_cancel. Note that pthread_join()
is still needed.
* rebase: vfio and pdump do not have control pthreads anymore, and eal
has 2 new pthreads
* remove all calls to snprintf/strlcpy that truncate the thread name:
all strings lengths are already < 16.
v2:
* set affinity to master core if no core is off, as suggested by
Anatoly

eal: use sizeof to avoid a double use of a define
eal: new function to create control threads
eal: set name when creating a control thread
eal: set affinity for control threads

I face a deadlock issue with your series, that Jianfeng patch does not
resolve ("eal: fix threads block on barrier"). Reverting the series and
Jianfeng patch makes the issue to disappear.
I face the problem in a VM (not seen on the host):
# ./install/bin/testpmd -l 0,1,2 --socket-mem 1024 -n 4 --proc-type auto
--file-prefix pg -- --portmask=3 --forward-mode=macswap
--port-topology=chained --disable-rss -i --rxq=1 --txq=1 --rxd=256
--txd=256 --nb-cores=2 --auto-start
EAL: Detected 3 lcore(s)
EAL: Detected 1 NUMA nodes
EAL: Auto-detected process type: PRIMARY
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/.pg_unix
Then it is stuck. Attaching with GDB, I get below backtrace information:
