Hi Pravin,

I think your stuff is on the brink of a creating a mini revolution :)

Some questions inline below --
+    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
What do you mean by portid here, do you mean the physical interface id like eth0 which I have bound to igb_uio now ?
If I have multiple interfaces I have assigned igb_uio to, eg. eth0, eth1, eth2 etc., what is the id mapping for those ?

If I have VM's running, then typically how to interface those VM's to this OVS in user space now, do I use the same classical 'tap' interface and add it to the OVS above.
What is the actual path the data takes from the VM now all the way to the switch, wouldn't it be hypervisor to kernel to OVS switch in user space to other VM/Network ?
I think if we can solve the VM to OVS port connectivity remaining in userspace only, then we have a great thing at our hand. Kindly comment on this.

Regards
-Prashant

Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH RFC] dpif-netdev: Add support Intel DPDK based ports.

From: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar at nicira.com>

Following patch adds DPDK netdev-class to userspace datapath.
Approach taken in this patch differs from Intel® DPDK vSwitch
where DPDK datapath switching is done in saparate process.  This
patch adds support for DPDK type port and uses OVS userspace
datapath for switching.  Therefore all DPDK processing and flow
miss handling is done in single process.  This also avoids code
duplication by reusing OVS userspace datapath switching and
therefore it supports all flow matching and actions that
user-space datapath supports.  Refer to INSTALL.DPDK doc for
further info.

With this patch I got similar performance for netperf TCP_STREAM
tests compared to kernel datapath.

This is based a patch from Gerald Rogers.

This patch is tested on latest OVS master (commit 9d0581fdf22bec79).

+                   Using Open vSwitch with DPDK
+                   ============================
+
+Open vSwitch can use Intel(R) DPDK lib to operate entirely in
+userspace. This file explains how to install and use Open vSwitch in
+such a mode.
+
+The DPDK support of Open vSwitch is considered experimental.
+It has not been thoroughly tested.
+
+This version of Open vSwitch should be built manually with "configure"
+and "make".
+
+Building and Installing:
+------------------------
+
+DPDK:
+cd DPDK
+make install T=x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc
+Refer to http://dpdk.org/ requirements of details.
+
+Linux kernel:
+Refer to intel-dpdk-getting-started-guide.pdf for understanding
+DPDK kernel requirement.
+
+OVS:
+cd $(OVS_DIR)/openvswitch
+./boot.sh
+./configure --with-dpdk=$(DPDK_BUILD)
+make
+
+Refer to INSTALL.userspace for general requirements of building
+userspace OVS.
+
+Using the DPDK with ovs-vswitchd:
+---------------------------------
+
+Fist setup DPDK devices:
+  - insert igb_uio.ko
+    e.g. insmod DPDK/x86_64-default-linuxapp-gcc/kmod/igb_uio.ko
+  - mount hugefs
+    e.g. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G none /mnt/huge/
+  - Bind network device to ibg_uio.
+    e.g. DPDK/tools/pci_unbind.py --bind=igb_uio eth1
+
+Ref to http://www.dpdk.org/doc/quick-start for verifying DPDK setup.
+
+Start vswitchd:
+DPDK configuration arguments can be passed to vswitchd via `--dpdk`
+argument.
+   e.g.
+   ./vswitchd/ovs-vswitchd --dpdk -c 0x1 -n 4 -- unix:$DB_SOCK  --pidfile --detach
+
+To use ovs-vswitchd with DPDK, create a bridge with datapath_type
+"netdev" in the configuration database.  For example:
+
+    ovs-vsctl add-br br0
+    ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev
+
+Now you can add dpdk devices. OVS expect DPDK device name start with dpdk
+and end with portid. vswitchd should print number of dpdk devices found.
+
+    ovs-vsctl add-port br0 dpdk0 -- set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk
+
+Once first DPDK port is added vswitchd, it creates Polling thread and
+polls dpdk device in continues loop. Therefore CPU utilization
+for that thread is always 100%.
+
+Restrictions:
+-------------
+
+  - This Support is for Physical NIC. I have tested with Intel NIC only.
+  - vswitchd userspace datapath does affine polling thread but it is
+    assumed that devices are on numa node 0. Therefore if device is
+    attached to non zero numa node switching performance would be
+    suboptimal.
+  - There are fixed number of polling thread and fixed number of per
+    device queues configured.
+  - Work with 1500 MTU, needs few changes in DPDK lib to fix this issue.
+  - Currently DPDK port does not make use any offload functionality.
+
+Bug Reporting:
+--------------
+
+Please report problems to bugs at openvswitch.org.
