Commit Message

Currently mempool name size limited to 25 characters by
RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE. netdev-dpdk tries to create mempool with the
following name pattern: "ovs_%{hash}_%{socket}_%{mtu}_%{n_mbuf}".

We have 3 chars for "ovs" + 4 chars for delimiters + 8 chars for
hash (because it's the 32 bit integer printed in hex) + 1 char for
socket_id (mostly 1, but it could be 2 on some systems; larger?) = 16.

Only 25 - 16 = 9 characters remains for mtu + n_mbufs.
Minimum usual value for mtu is 1500 --> 2030 (4 chars) after
dpdk_buf_size conversion and the minimum value for n_mbufs is 16384
(5 chars). So, all the 9 characters are used.

If we'll try to create port with mtu = 9500, mempool creation will
fail, because FRAME_LEN_TO_MTU(dpdk_buf_size(9500)) = 10222 (5 chars)
and this value will overflow the RTE_MEMPOOL_NAMESIZE limit.

Same issue will happen if we'll try to create port with big enough
number of queues or will try to create big enough number of PMD
threads (number of tx queues will enlarge the mempool requirements).

Fix that by removing the delimiters. To keep the readability (at least
partial) of the mempool names exact field sizes with zero padding
are used.

Following limits should be suitable for now:
 - Hash length: 8 chars (uint32_t in hex)
 - Socket ID  : 2 chars (For systems with up to 10 sockets)
 - MTU        : 5 chars (MTU (10^5 - 1) should be enough for now)
 - n_mbufs    : 7 chars (Up to 10^7 of mbufs)

   Total      : 22 + 3 (for "ovs") = 25

Thanks for this fix Ilya.

I've tested this, and can confirm that it resolves a SEGV that previously occurred in the case of 'large' MTU values (in the case of my test, 9710).

Thanks all for the work on this, I'll look to push this to the dpdk merge branch today.
