Hi Jan,
Thanks these patches are really very useful.
I haven't finished trying them out but thought you'd prefer to get initial comments earlier. I'll continue to try to them out and revert with any further other comments later.
Regards,
Billy.

> suspicious PMD iterations
>
> This patch enhances dpif-netdev-perf to detect iterations with suspicious
> statistics according to the following criteria:
>
> - iteration lasts longer than US_THR microseconds (default 250).
> This can be used to capture events where a PMD is blocked or
> interrupted for such a period of time that there is a risk for
> dropped packets on any of its Rx queues.
>
> - max vhost qlen exceeds a threshold Q_THR (default 128). This can
> be used to infer virtio queue overruns and dropped packets inside
> a VM, which are not visible in OVS otherwise.
>
> Such suspicious iterations can be logged together with their iteration
> statistics to be able to correlate them to packet drop or other events outside
> OVS.
>
> A new command is introduced to enable/disable logging at run-time and to
> adjust the above thresholds for suspicious iterations:
>
> ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-perf-log-set [on|off]
> [-b before] [-a after] [-us usec] [-q qlen]
>
> Turn logging on or off at run-time (on|off).
>
> -b before: The number of iterations before the suspicious iteration to
> be logged (default 5).
> -a after: The number of iterations after the suspicious iteration to
> be logged (default 5).
> -q qlen: Suspicious vhost queue fill level threshold. Increase this
> to 512 if the Qemu supports 1024 virtio queue length.
> (default 128).
> -us usec: change the duration threshold for a suspicious iteration
> (default 250 us).
>
> If more than 100 iterations before or after a suspicious iteration have been
> looged once, OVS falls back to the safe default values (5/5) to avoid that
[[BO'M]] typo
> logging itself causes continuos further logging.

[[BO'M]] get_tsc_hz calls sleep(1) so won't this block the datapath when logging is turned on? I haven't tested trying to inject occasional long processing interval.
