[ovs-dev] [PATCH 0/5] DPDK enhancements related to configuration

[Aaron Conole]

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.
* vhost-user sockets have additional configuration for socket permissions
* Updated documentation

Aaron Conole (5):
  netdev-dpdk: Restore thread affinity after DPDK init
  netdev-dpdk: Convert initialization from cmdline to db
  netdev-dpdk: Autofill lcore coremask if absent
  lib/daemon: Move the user:group code up one level
  netdev-dpdk: Support user cfg vhost socket perms
