|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR pthread_setaffinity_np ()
|
|
sets the CPU affinity mask of the thread
|
|
.I thread
|
|
to the CPU set pointed to by
|
|
.IR cpuset .
|
|
If the call is successful,
|
|
and the thread is not currently running on one of the CPUs in
|
|
.IR cpuset ,
|
|
then it is migrated to one of those CPUs.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
.BR pthread_getaffinity_np ()
|
|
function returns the CPU affinity mask of the thread
|
|
.I thread
|
|
in the buffer pointed to by
|
|
.IR cpuset .
|
|
|
|
The argument
|
|
.I cpusetsize
|
|
is the length (in bytes) of the buffer pointed to by
|
|
.IR cpuset .
|
|
Typically, this argument would be specified as
|
|
.IR sizeof(cpu_set_t) .
|
|
|
|
For more details on CPU affinity masks, see
|
|
.BR sched_setaffinity (2).
|
|
For a description of a set of macros
|
|
that can be used to manipulate and inspect CPU sets, see
|
|
.BR CPU_SET (3).
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
|
On success, these functions return 0;
|
|
on error, they return a non-zero error number.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EFAULT
|
|
A supplied memory address was invalid.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
.RB ( pthread_setaffinity_np ())
|
|
The affinity bit mask
|
|
.I mask
|
|
contains no processors that are physically on the system.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BR EINVAL
|
|
.RB ( pthread_setaffinity_np ())
|
|
.I cpuset
|
|
specified a CPU that was outside the range
|
|
permitted by the kernel data type
|
|
.\" cpumask_t
|
|
used to represent CPU sets.
|
|
.\" The raw sched_getaffinity() system call returns the size (in bytes)
|
|
.\" of the cpumask_t type.
|
|
This range is determined by the kernel configuration option
|
|
.BR CONFIG_NR_CPUS .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B EINVAL
|
|
.RB ( pthread_getaffinity_np ())
|
|
.I cpusetsize
|
|
is smaller than the size of the affinity mask used by the kernel.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B ESRCH
|
|
There is no thread matching
|
|
.IR thread
|
|
(e.g., perhaps that thread has already terminated and been joined).
|
|
.SH VERSIONS
|
|
These functions are provided by glibc since version 2.3.4.
|
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
|
These functions are non-standard GNU extensions;
|
|
hence the suffix "_np" (non-portable) in the names.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
These functions are implemented on top of the
|
|
.BR sched_setaffinity (2)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR sched_getaffinity (2)
|
|
system calls.
|
|
|
|
In glibc 2.3.3 only,
|
|
versions of these functions were provided that did not have a
|
|
.I cpusetsize
|
|
argument.
|
|
Instead the CPU set size given to the underlying system calls was always
|
|
.IR sizeof(cpu_set_t) .
|
|
|
|
A new thread created by
|
|
.BR pthread_create ()
|
|
inherits a copy of its creator's CPU affinity mask.
|
|
.SH EXAMPLE
|
|
In the following program, the main thread uses
|
|
.BR pthread_setaffinity_np ()
|
|
to set its CPU affinity mask to include CPUs 0 to 7
|
|
(which may not all be available on the system),
|
|
and then calls
|
|
.BR pthread_getaffinity_np ()
|
|
to check the resulting CPU affinity mask of the thread.
