You can look at the source of anyone of the applications in samplevnf project in OPNFV which uses the active/shadow method for dynamically modifying the rules and applying them.

In my case, there are two process sharing hugepage memory（struct rte_acl_ctx）, one process call 'rte_acl_build' to add and apply rule, another process call frequently 'rte_acl_classify' to match rule, does it need to add lock? if not, is there other method to implement this safely? ------------------ 原始邮件 ------------------ 发件人: "Ananyev, Konstantin";<[email protected]>; 发送时间: 2018年1月8日(星期一) 晚上7:42 收件人: "真我风采"<[email protected]>;"dev"<[email protected]>; 主题: RE: [dpdk-dev] Thread safety in rte_acl > > Hi, I have two questions : 1.
