Re: [ovs-dev] [PATCH RFC v3 1/1] netdev-dpdk: Add support for DPDK 16.07

Given that using vhost PMD doesn't seem viable in the very short term, I think we should stick with the vhost lib. I sent a patch for ovsrcu to add a new RCU protected array index. http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-August/077097.html Thanks, Daniele 2016-07-28 6:26 GMT-07:00 Loftus,

Re: [ovs-dev] [PATCH RFC v3 1/1] netdev-dpdk: Add support for DPDK 16.07

Thanks for the patch. I have another concern with this. If we're still going to rely on RCU to protect the vhost device (and as pointed out by Ilya, I think we should) we need to use RCU-like semantics on the vid array index. I'm not sure a boolean flag is going to be enough. CCing Jarno: We

[ovs-dev] [PATCH RFC v3 1/1] netdev-dpdk: Add support for DPDK 16.07

This commit introduces support for DPDK 16.07 and consequently breaks compatibility with DPDK 16.04. DPDK 16.07 introduces some changes to various APIs. These have been updated in OVS, including: * xstats API: changes to structure of xstats * vhost API: replace virtio-net references with 'vid'
