Is func rte_malloc safe to be called between rte_spinlock_lock adn rte_spinlock_unlock or can it be only called at main thread?

Instead though, VPP already has a performant binary API that uses shared memory. Could you not use this? What sort of messages are you trying to send? Chris.

So it's not security to use unix socket too? If i want to send some data from vpp to linux or to another process, any options?

It’s disabled by default. Use the command-line argument “tuntap { enable }” to kick the tires. In addition to the concerns which Chris mentioned, adding ‘system(“foo”)’ calls to vpp is not a security best practice.

Using system() or similar is simply ill-advised; what you’re doing is best done outside of VPP where the penalty of executing fork() is much diminished. If you really must create these interfaces from inside VPP then I suggest you look up the netlink ABI in Linux, which is what the ‘ip’ program uses, and program it directly. Chris.
