Set cpu_map max_entries according to NR_CPUS in xdp_redirect_cpu_kern.c
and get currently running cpus in xdp_redirect_cpu_user.c

get_nprocs() gets the number of available cpus, not including offline cpus.
But gaps may exist in cpus, e.g., get_nprocs() returns 4, and cpus are
0-1,4-5. map updates will miss cpus 4-5. And in this situation,
map_update will fail on offline cpus.

This sample test does not need to deal with complication of
cpu offlining, I think. Maybe we can get
	n_cpus = get_nprocs();
	n_cpus_conf = get_nprocs_conf();
	if (n_cpus != n_cpus_conf) {
		/* message that some cpus are offline and not supported. */
		return error
	}


Hi Yonghong,

thanks for pointing this out. Why not just use:

n_cpus = get_nprocs_conf()

and let the user pick the right cpu id with 'c' option (since it is mandatory)?

Not aware of 'c' option. Yes, get_nprocs_conf() directly works too.


Regards,
Lorenzo
