[ovs-dev] [PATCH 2/4] dpif-netdev: Incremental addition/deletion of PMD threads.

Ilya Maximets i.maximets at samsung.com
Tue Feb 21 14:49:26 UTC 2017


Currently, change of 'pmd-cpu-mask' is very heavy operation.
It requires destroying of all the PMD threads and creating
them back. After that, all the threads will sleep until
ports' redistribution finished.

This patch adds ability to not stop the datapath while
adjusting number/placement of PMD threads. All not affected
threads will forward traffic without any additional latencies.

id-pool created for static tx queue ids to keep them sequential
in a flexible way. non-PMD thread will always have
static_tx_qid = 0 as it was before.
