Add support for keepalive functionality to DPDK datapath. By default, the keepalive is OFF and can be enabled/disabled either at start time.
For eg: To enable keepalive feature. 'ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:keepalive=true' To set timer interval of 50ms for monitoring packet processing cores; 'ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . \ other_config:keepalive-interval="50" To set shared memory block name where the events shall be updated 'ovs-vsctl --no-wait set Open_vSwitch . other_config:keepalive-shm-name="/dpdk_keepalive_shm_name"' Signed-off-by: Bhanuprakash Bodireddy <bhanuprakash.bodire...@intel.com> --- vswitchd/vswitch.xml | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 38 insertions(+) diff --git a/vswitchd/vswitch.xml b/vswitchd/vswitch.xml index 14297bf..1c3ba84 100644 --- a/vswitchd/vswitch.xml +++ b/vswitchd/vswitch.xml @@ -274,6 +274,44 @@ </p> </column> + <column name="other_config" key="keepalive" + type='{"type": "boolean"}'> + <p> + Set this value to <code>true</code> to enable keepalive feature. + </p> + <p> + The default value is <code>false</code>.
