Series dpdk: refactor the initialization step | expand

Commit Message

Aaron Conole May 3, 2018, 7:08 p.m. UTC
The normal way of retrieving the running DPDK status involves parsing
log files and issuing various incantations of ovs-vsctl and ovs-appctl
commands to determine whether the rte_eal_init successfully started.

This commit adds two new records to reflect the dpdk version, and
the dpdk initialization status.

To support this, the other_config:dpdk-init configuration block supports
the 'true' and 'try' keywords now, instead of just 'true'.

Look ok overall, minor comments below that can be addressed on commit to DPDK_MERGE if you agree with them.

We should mention this in news as it seems like a relevant enough change for users.

.. versionchanged:: 2.10.0

We've started to track changes in behavior in the docs, I'm wondering if one should be added here but it may look strange as 2.10 above has not been released yet. It's that or we have a 'to-do' to track it when the release is out. Thoughts?

Okay.  Whichever you prefer.

Okay.  I can submit a follow up patch to this (if you want), or I can
submit a v2 of this patch if you want.  Let me know how you'd like it.

I guess it would make more sense to use just write the document ovs
version instead (rather than which version changed it).  And that can be
accomplished with @VERSION@ tag and using a .in file.

Anyway, I missed that particular part of the docs, but that's because I
think some of it was modified between this patch being submitted and
interrim changes.  I can rebase.

I don't think it makes sense to change this version number though (do
you?) since as you note the version hasn't been released.

I agree that 2.10 doesn't make sense. I've haven't used the @version and .in approach before but it sounds interesting. There is a minor nit to be fair though, I won't block on it as it is either.

     A: Firstly, you must have a DPDK-enabled version of Open vSwitch.

 Validating
 ----------
 
+DPDK support can be confirmed by validating the ``dpdk_initialized`` boolean

+initialization succeeded::
+
+  $ ovs-vsctl get Open_vSwitch . dpdk_initialized

 At this point you can use ovs-vsctl to set up bridges and other Open vSwitch
 features. Seeing as we've configured the DPDK datapath, we will use DPDK-type
 ports. For example, to create a userspace bridge named ``br0`` and add two
