Hi - not sure what you mean by "allowed for non-PMD threads". Is there an
example?
I don't know how OVS determines the cores where non-PMD threads should
run. I guess the most basic requirement is that they should NOT be on
the PMD cores, if possible.
But then, you revert the affinity changes made by rte_eal_init(), so the
only thing we set with the -c value is the lcore_id of the calling
thread. I guess that doesn't have too much relevance. Or is there any
case where the affinity of the non-PMD thread (which calls
rte_eal_init()), changes, and lcore_id should follow that?
