This series improves OVS configuration with DPDK in three ways: * netdev-dpdk is patched to work 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.
v1 -> v2: * Fix a few typos (thanks to Kevin) * Rebase against the vhost inclusion * Provide a separate spinlock for stats in netdev-dpdk * Never free the non pmd structure in dpif-netdev * Removed first patch (already applied to master) Daniele Di Proietto (7): netdev-dpdk: Use specific spinlock for stats. netdev-dpdk: Adapt the requested number of tx and rx queues. dpif-netdev: Never free non-pmd structure. ovs-thread: Keep a list of all threads. dpif-netdev: Allow controlling non PMD threads' affinity. dpif-netdev: Allow configuring number of PMD threads. INSTALL.DPDK.md: Update documentation on multiple threads.
