Hi, I've reviewed this patchset - few comments/questions on it... I haven't tested yet - but I'm wondering what is the impact to the dpdk -c parameter. Is it no longer used for OVS? At present the NON_PMD_CORE_ID define overrides the db settings (which is clearly documented). Is it needed now that a db key is available? Perhaps it would make things simpler that the define is overridden when a key is specified? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
