This is highly useful to see on which core PMD is running by
only looking at the thread name. Thread Id still allows to
distinguish different threads running on the same core over the

|dpif_netdev(pmd-c10/id:53)|DBG|flow_add: <...>, actions:2

In gdb, top or any other utility it's useful to quickly catch up
needed thread without parsing logs, memory or matching threads by
port
names they're handling.

This is a really good idea :) One remark should we make it %03d?
There is a hard limit for the thread name. It's 15 meaningful chars
excluding the
terminating null byte. 'pmd-c02/id:' is 11 bytes wide keeping 4 bytes
for the
thread id. 'pmd-c002/id:' is 12 bytes wide with only 3 bytes remaining
for id.
Thread ids could easily become big ( > 1000) for a long running
process, that is
why %02d was chosen, to save some space.
BTW, even on a systems with 100+ CPUs I'm usually placing OVS threads
on a lower
cores. Anyway, this is only the matter of a bit more visual beauty in
the logs.
What do you think?
Makes sense
