The patchset combines two previously independent sets: 1. netdev-dpdk: Remove dpdkvhostcuse ports (v1) http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-July/074696.html 2. vHost PMD (v3) http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-May/070852.html The set first removes dpdkvhostcuse ports. The vHost Cuse library is due to be deprecated in DPDK v16.11: http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-July/044080.html Then the vHost PMD is added which results in a lot of shared code between the three dpdk port types 'dpdk' 'dpdkr' and 'dpdkvhostuser' as they are now all controlled by the same DPDK API - librte_ether. This patchset removes extended statistics support for dpdkvhostuser ports which was added in the following commit: d6e3feb Add support for extended netdev statistics based on RFC 2819 It is expected that a future release of DPDK will support extended statistics for the vHost PMD so we can expect support for this to be re-added in OVS at a later date. v2: - set NETDEV_DPDK_CLASS init function to NULL - remove DEVARGS_MAX #define - use xasprintf instead of snprintf for eth_dev_attach - change callback functions to static - remove void cast when registering callbacks - remove unnecessary spinlock in send - mutex nesting consistent with rest of code - use MIN(OVS_VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_NUM, RTE_MAX_QUEUES_PER_PORT) instead of OVS_VHOST_MAX_QUEUE_NUM - style fixes Ciara Loftus (4): netdev-dpdk: Remove dpdkvhostcuse ports netdev-dpdk: Consistent naming for vhost functions netdev-dpdk: Add vHost User PMD netdev-dpdk: Add vhost-user 'get_features' & 'get_status' functions INSTALL.DPDK-ADVANCED.md | 241 ------------ INSTALL.DPDK.md | 10 + NEWS | 3 + acinclude.m4 | 12 - lib/netdev-dpdk.c | 978 +++++++++++++++-------------------------------- rhel/README.RHEL | 2 - utilities/automake.mk | 1 - utilities/qemu-wrap.py | 389 ------------------- vswitchd/vswitch.xml | 12 - 9 files changed, 315 insertions(+), 1333 deletions(-) delete mode 100755 utilities/qemu-wrap.py -- 2.4.3 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
