[Antonio] Further to previous line: patches #1 and #2 do fix the issues we saw: - issue with vhostuserclient in a PVP test - issue of new MTU not displayed when an existing mempool is returned. - issue with the NUMA-Aware usecase All other patches #3, #4, #5 and #6 are small improvements or just clean-up that we could even skip at all. Actually patch #4 is not just a clean-up, it's managing an unlikely event that 'might' happen (I've never seen it), that's why I promoted it as a 'fix' in the line above. So just the first 2 patches are needed to fix the mempool issues. > > All other patches in this series are a clean up for code readability or > > small improvements. > > > > Hi Antonio, if the fixes are in patches 1 2 and 4 is there a reason they have > not been grouped in a patchset and patch 1,2,3? > > The other patches could be applied separately afterwards? [Antonio] Patches #1 and #2 are the ones needed to fix the issues. All other patches are clean-up/small improvement, that could be optionally applied. I think it's better to apply them in the given order. > > > List of versions: > > - v8: > > - Debug message rephrased in patch #2. > > - Reworked patch #4 for snprintf error code. > > - Comments in patch #6 moved into patch #1. > > > > - v7: > > - Restored 2 separate patches for the 2 fixes. > > - patch #1: detect when previous mempools must be released. > > - patch #2: mempool name generation for NUMA-awareness test case. > > - patch "netdev-dpdk: manage empty mempool names." renamed as > > "netdev-dpdk: manage failure in mempool name creation." > > - Various rework based on comments. > > > > - v6: > > - patches #1 and #2 squashed into one. > > - Reworked to consider the latest comments. > > - tested the release of pre-existing mempools (reported by Ciara L.) > > - tested the change of MTU when an existing mempool is returned > > (reported by Robert M.) > > - tested the NUMA-Awareness usecase (reported by Ciara L.) > > - v5: manage new MTU value when a pre-existing mempool is returned. > > - v4: fix NUMA awareness usecase > > - v3: avoid deletion of pre-existing mempools > > - v2: rework to accomodate code changes for dpdk ports too > > - v1: 1st implementation. > > > > Fischetti, Antonio (6): > > netdev-dpdk: fix management of pre-existing mempools. > > Fix mempool names to reflect socket id. > > netdev-dpdk: skip init for existing mempools. > > netdev-dpdk: manage failure in mempool name creation. > > netdev-dpdk: Reword mp_size as n_mbufs. > > netdev-dpdk: Rename dpdk_mp_put as dpdk_mp_free. > > > > lib/netdev-dpdk.c | 96 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- > > ----- > > 1 file changed, 59 insertions(+), 37 deletions(-) > > > > -- > > 2.4.11 > > > > _______________________________________________ > > dev mailing list > > [email protected] > > https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
