This RFC patch addresses the restrictions placed on dpdk port names.
Currently dpdk ports must be named dpdkX where X is the dpdk port-id.
This patch removes this restriction and introduces the requirement to
specify the pci address of the device in the other_config db. eg.
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 my-port -- set Interface my-port
type=dpdk options:dpdk-pci=0000:06:00.0
This patch is a work in progress and minimal testing has been performed,
although a basic setup switching between two dpdk ports has been
verified to work.
This version of the patch has been implemented on top of the hotplug
support patch: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-May/071786.html
I'd welcome feedback on both the idea and the approach.
v2:
- Applied changes on top of hotplug patch and made the combination
compatible.
