This series improves OVS configuration with DPDK in three ways: * netdev-dpdk is patched to work on smaller systems (without 1GB hugepages) or with smaller NICs (without lots of transmission queues). * the 'other_config:nonpmd-cpu-mask' key is introduced: it can be used to limit OVS non PMD threads to a particular set of cores. * the 'other_config:n-pmd-cores' key is introduced: it allows setting the number of PMD threads without specifing a CPU mask.
Daniele Di Proietto (6): netdev-dpdk: create smaller mempools in case of failure netdev-dpdk: Adapt the requested number of tx and rx queues. ovs-thread: Keep a list of all threads. dpif-netdev: Allow controlling non PMD threads' affinity dpif-netdev: Allow configuring number of PMD threads.
