Apologies for the top post on this one. I am going to rebase and resubmit this series in 14 - 18 hours. At that time I am doing the following:
Changing Kevin and Panu's Cc: lines to ACKs Adding: Tested-by: RobertX Wojciechowicz <robertx.wojciechow...@intel.com> The deltas from v8 to v9 are comment changes, and making the -n and -c arguments non-default (including updating the vswitchd documentation where they are specified). Aaron Conole <acon...@redhat.com> writes: > Currently, configuration of DPDK parameters is done via the command line > through a --dpdk **OPTIONS** -- command line argument. This has a number of > challenges, including: > * It must be the first option passed to ovs-vswitchd > * It breaks from the way most other things are configured in OVS > * It doesn't allow an easy way to populate defaults > > > This series brings the following changes to openvswitch: > * All DPDK options are taken from the ovs database rather than the > command line > * DPDK lcores are optionally auto-assigned to a single core based on the > bridge coremask. > * Updated documentation > > v2: > * Dropped the vhost-user socket configuration options.
