Reviewed-by: David Marchand <david.march...@redhat.com> I have some nits below which can be fixed when applying. But I am ok too if we go with the current patch. > diff --git a/Documentation/topics/dpdk/pmd.rst > b/Documentation/topics/dpdk/pmd.rst > index 40e6b7843..eafcbc504 100644 > --- a/Documentation/topics/dpdk/pmd.rst > +++ b/Documentation/topics/dpdk/pmd.rst > @@ -375,4 +375,27 @@ system configuration (e.g. enabling processor C-states) > and workloads. > rate. > > +Max sleep request values can be set for individual PMDs using key:value > pairs. > +Any PMD that has been assigned a specified value will use that.

But for descriptions in the documentation, "PMD thread cores" is strange. We didn't use such denomination so far in the doc. I would go with "PMD on cores 8 and 9" (or PMD threads on cores 8 and 9). > +sleep and all others PMD cores to be able to request a max sleep of 50 > usecs:: Nit: Idem, PMD (or PMD threads) > + > + $ ovs-vsctl set open_vswitch . other_config:pmd-sleep-max=50,8:0,9:0 > + > +The max sleep request for each PMD can be checked in the logs or with:: > + > + $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-sleep-show > + PMD max sleep request is 50 usecs by default. > + PMD load based sleeps are enabled by default. > + PMD thread core 8 NUMA 0: Max sleep request set to 0 usecs. > + PMD thread core 9 NUMA 1: Max sleep request set to 0 usecs. > + PMD thread core 10 NUMA 0: Max sleep request set to 50 usecs. > + PMD thread core 11 NUMA 1: Max sleep request set to 50 usecs. > + PMD thread core 12 NUMA 0: Max sleep request set to 50 usecs. > + PMD thread core 13 NUMA 1: Max sleep request set to 50 usecs. > + > .. _ovs-vswitchd(8): > http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovs-vswitchd.8.html [snip] > diff --git a/lib/dpif-netdev.c b/lib/dpif-netdev.c > index 88d25f1da..d9ee53ff5 100644 > --- a/lib/dpif-netdev.c > +++ b/lib/dpif-netdev.c [snip] > @@ -5065,4 +5077,182 @@ parse_affinity_list(const char *affinity_list, > unsigned *core_ids, int n_rxq) > } > > +static int > +parse_pmd_sleep_list(const char *max_sleep_list, > + struct pmd_sleep **pmd_sleeps) > +{ > + char *list, *copy, *key, *value; > + int num_vals = 0; > + > + if (!max_sleep_list) { > + return num_vals; > + } > + > + list = copy = xstrdup(max_sleep_list); > + > + while (ofputil_parse_key_value(&list, &key, &value)) { > + char *error = NULL; > + unsigned core; > + uint64_t temp, pmd_max_sleep; > + int i; > + > + error = str_to_u64(key, &temp); > + if (error) { > + free(error); > + continue; > + } > + > + error = str_to_u64(value, &pmd_max_sleep); > + if (error) { > + /* No value specified. key is dp default. */ > + core = UINT_MAX; > + pmd_max_sleep = temp; > + free(error); > + } else { > + /* Value specified. key is pmd core id.*/ Nit: extra space between "is pmd". > + if (temp >= UINT_MAX) { > + continue; > + } > + core = (unsigned) temp; > + } > + [snip] -- David Marchand _______________________________________________ dev mailing list d...@openvswitch.org https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
