Currently, 'nb_fwd_lcores' value are both adjusted based on 'nb_fwd_streams' in rss/simple/icmp_echo_fwd_config_setup. But the operation is missing in dcb_fwd_config_setup, which may lead to a bad behavior in which multiple polling threads operate on the same queue.
This patch is OK. But commit log is redundant and confusing. The above is enough to explain what your patch is doing and can even be more simple.
In this case, the device sends and receives packets, causing unexpected results. The procedure is as follows:
I don't understand what you're saying here. The commands you're showing is 8 nbcores dealing with 16 queues. So it's one thread dealing with multiple queues which doesn't have issues at all. Please remove the useless and confusing commands.
1/ run testpmd with "--rxq=8 --txq=8" 2/ port stop all 3/ set nbcore 8 4/ port config 0 dcb vt off 4 pfc on 5/ port config all rxq 16 6/ port config all txq 16 7/ port start all 8/ set fwd mac 9/ start
For the DCB forwarding test, each core is assigned to each traffic class and each core is assigned a multi-stream. Therefore, 'nb_fwd_lcores' value needs to be adjusted based on 'total_tc_num' in all forwarding ports.
Please refer to the RSS fwd config fix patch to write your own commit log. Use simple and easy-understanding words to explain yourself. Below is the reference of RSS.

app/testpmd: limit number of forwarding cores
Number of forwarding cores must be equal or less than number of forwarding streams, otherwise two cores would try to use a same queue on a port, which is not allowed.
