All the daq methods (e.g. dpdk_daq_acquire) will run on the snort's thread context.More details: The thread which calls rte_eal_init() will become DPDK's master thread. So, when you only specify one lcore with eal's -c option, such as: -c 40, no DPDK's slave threads will be created. And the affinity of the snort thread which becomes DPDK's master thread will be set to CPU6 (the 7th CPU). When you specify more than one lcores with eal's -c option, such as: -c ff, seven slave threads will be created by rte_eal_init(). But they won't be used. And the daq methods (e.g. dpdk_daq_acquire) will be called in the snort thread context. Best regards, Tiwei BieI'm asked that question because I had in plan update daq module for OpenDataPlane: https://github.com/Xiche/daq_odp And for some previous version there were problems in scaling snort across number of cpus. Which looks like solved in 3.X and will be never fixed in 2.9.x. But now I think I can follow your patch to integrate ODP to mainline snort.
Cool! Glad to hear that! :-) Best regards, Tiwei Bie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
