[ovs-dev] [PATCH v6] netdev-dpdk: add support for the RTE_ETH_EVENT_INTR_RESET event

[Eelco Chaudron]

Currently, OVS does not register and therefore not handle the
interface reset event from the DPDK framework. This would cause a
problem in cases where a VF is used as an interface, and its
configuration changes.

As an example in the following scenario the MAC change is not
detected/acted upon until OVS is restarted without the patch applied:

  $ echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:05:00.1/sriov_numvfs
  $ ovs-vsctl add-port ovs_pvp_br0 dpdk0 -- \
            set Interface dpdk0 type=dpdk -- \
            set Interface dpdk0 options:dpdk-devargs=0000:05:0a.0

  $ ip link set p5p2 vf 0 mac 52:54:00:92:d3:33

Requires patch "bridge: Allow manual notifications about interfaces' updates."

---
v5 -> v6:
  Moved the if_notifier_manual_report() function till after the
  actual reset of the interface to make it more clear that it's
  supposed to happen AFTER the reset.

  Removed empty line in the code

v4 -> v5:
  Using new if_notifier_manual_report() API

v3 -> v4:
  Add support for if-notification to make sure set_config()
  gets called

v2 -> v3:
v1 -> v2:
  Fixed Ilya's comments
