I would like to include this driver for v18.08. Please send the next
the version in order to complete review before giving RC1 pull request.
I've been working on a test bench with real packet I/O and some more
reasonable load to verify load balancing behavior and tune some
parameters to let it have a chance to perform in a real-world application.
Currently, the only experience comes from a pipeline simulator without
real I/O, and where new packets are always available, plus some very
limited experience from a prototype integration in a real product.
All this to feel somewhat comfortable it will perform in a product.
I think 18.08 will be difficult. When would you need to have something
ready to meet that deadline?
It is OK to postpone to v19.02 if it is difficult.
According to https://core.dpdk.org/roadmap/, The integration deadline for
v18.11 is October 5, 2018.
Considering it only driver change, two/three weeks would be enough to review
it. So September mid
would be a reasonable target.
OK, sounds like 18.11 might be doable. Thanks. Do you mark drivers
experimental, just to warn people there might be dragons? Or is that
just APIs?
I've been planning to run it on a system with a weak memory model, too.
If someone want to help out here, that would be appreciated.
