dpdk-pmdinfo.py does not produce any parseable output. The -r/--raw flag
merely prints multiple independent JSON lines which cannot be fed
directly to any JSON parser. Moreover, the script complexity is rather
high for such a simple task: extracting PMD_INFO_STRING from .rodata ELF
sections. Rewrite it so that it can produce valid JSON.
Remove the PCI database parsing for PCI-ID to Vendor-Device names
conversion. This should be done by external scripts (if really needed).
Here are some examples of use with jq:
Get the complete info for a given driver:
~$ usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py build/app/dpdk-testpmd | \
jq '.[] | select(.name == "dmadev_idxd_pci")'
{
"name": "dmadev_idxd_pci",
"params": "max_queues=0",
"kmod": "vfio-pci",
"pci_ids": [
{
"vendor": "8086",
"device": "0b25",
"subsystem_vendor": "ffff",
"subsystem_device": "ffff"
}
]
}
Get only the required kernel modules for a given driver:
~$ usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py build/app/dpdk-testpmd | \
jq '.[] | select(.name == "net_i40e").kmod'
"* igb_uio | uio_pci_generic | vfio-pci"
Get only the required kernel modules for a given device:
~$ usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py build/app/dpdk-testpmd | \
jq '.[] | select(.pci_ids[] | .vendor == "15b3" and .device == "1013").kmod'
"* ib_uverbs & mlx5_core & mlx5_ib"
Print the list of drivers which define multiple parameters without
string separators:
~$ usertools/dpdk-pmdinfo.py build/app/dpdk-testpmd | \
jq '.[] | select(.params!=null and (.params|test("=[^ ]+="))) | {name,
params}'
...
The script passes flake8, black, isort and pylint checks.
I have tested this with a matrix of python/pyelftools versions:
pyelftools
0.22 0.23 0.24 0.25 0.26 0.27 0.28 0.29
3.6 ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
3.7 ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
Python 3.8 ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
3.9 ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok
3.10 fail fail fail fail ok ok ok ok
All failures with python 3.10 are related to the same issue:
File "elftools/construct/lib/container.py", line 5, in <module>
from collections import MutableMapping
ImportError: cannot import name 'MutableMapping' from 'collections'
Python 3.10 support is only available since pyelftools 0.26. The script
will only work with Python 3.6 and later. Update the minimal system
requirements and release notes.
NB: The output produced by the legacy -r/--raw flag can be obtained with
the following command:
strings build/app/dpdk-testpmd | sed -n 's/^PMD_INFO_STRING= //p'

Some of the drivers doesn't provide PCI ids, but script is listing them
empty, like [1], is it better to omit the output for that case, as done
to 'params' & 'kmod'?
