This v4 scales back some of the work done in the previous versions, since more options need to be looked at for the core handling. For now, then this patchset is reduced to some basic cleanup before any more serious work is done.
* marks the old coremask parameter (-c) and service core mask (-s) as deprecated, so they can be dropped in future. Everything should now be done using core lists where possible. * consolidates the, previously separate but similar, "-l" and "--lcores" flags into just short and long versions of the same thing. This does not affect the "--lcores" flag at all, but expands the scope of what was possible with "-l". * Adds documentation of examples of use of the -l/--lcores parameter Bruce Richardson (3): eal: deprecate old coremask-based EAL parameters eal: merge corelist and core mapping options doc: provide examples of using lcores EAL parameter doc/guides/eventdevs/dlb2.rst | 6 +- doc/guides/faq/faq.rst | 8 +- doc/guides/linux_gsg/build_sample_apps.rst | 7 +- doc/guides/linux_gsg/eal_args.include.rst | 45 ++++-- .../prog_guide/env_abstraction_layer.rst | 3 +- doc/guides/prog_guide/meson_ut.rst | 2 +- doc/guides/prog_guide/multi_proc_support.rst | 2 +- doc/guides/prog_guide/service_cores.rst | 8 +- doc/guides/rel_notes/deprecation.rst | 10 ++ doc/guides/sample_app_ug/ip_frag.rst | 7 +- doc/guides/sample_app_ug/ip_reassembly.rst | 7 +- doc/guides/sample_app_ug/multi_process.rst | 14 +- doc/guides/sample_app_ug/qos_scheduler.rst | 2 +- doc/guides/sample_app_ug/test_pipeline.rst | 2 +- doc/guides/tools/testbbdev.rst | 2 +- lib/eal/common/eal_common_options.c | 141 +++--------------- lib/eal/common/eal_options.h | 4 +- 17 files changed, 91 insertions(+), 179 deletions(-) -- 2.45.2
