From: Kumar Amber <kumar.amber at intel.com>
This commit introduces additional command line paramter
for mfex study function. If user provides additional packet out
it is used in study to compare minimum packets which must be processed
else a default value is choosen.
Also introduces a third paramter for choosing a particular pmd core.
$ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set study 500 3

v14:
- fix logging format and xmas ordering
v13:
- reowrked the set command as per discussion
- fixed the atomic set in study
- added bool for handling study mfex to simplify logic and command output
- fixed double space in variable declaration and removed static
v12:
- re-work the set command to sweep
- inlcude fixes to study.c and doc changes
v11:
- include comments from Eelco
- reworked set command as per discussion
v10:
- fix review comments Eelco
v9:
- fix review comments Flavio
v7:
- change the command paramters for core_id and study_pkt_cnt
v5:
- fix review comments(Ian, Flavio, Eelco)
- introucde pmd core id parameter

An implementation can be selected manually by the following command ::
- $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set study
+ $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set [-pmd core_id] [name]
+ [study_cnt]
+
+The above command has two optional parameters: study_cnt and core_id.
+The core_id sets a particular miniflow extract function to a specific
+pmd thread on the core. The third parameter study_cnt, which is specific
+to study and ignored by other implementations, means how many packets
+are needed to choose the best implementation.
Also user can select the study implementation which studies the traffic for
a specific number of packets by applying all available implementations of
miniflow extract and then chooses the one with the most optimal result for
-that traffic pattern.
+that traffic pattern. The user can optionally provide an packet count
+[study_cnt] parameter which is the minimum number of packets that OVS must
+study before choosing an optimal implementation. If no packet count is
+provided, then the default value, 128 is chosen. Also, as there is no
+synchronization point between threads, one PMD thread might still be running
+a previous round, and can now decide on earlier data.
+
+The per packet count is a global value, and parallel study executions with
+differing packet counts will use the most recent count value provided by user.
+
+Study can be selected with packet count by the following command ::
+
+ $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set study 1024
+
+Study can be selected with packet count and explicit PMD selection
+by the following command ::
+
+ $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set -pmd 3 study 1024
+
+In the above command the first parameter is the CORE ID of the PMD
+thread and this can also be used to explicitly set the miniflow
+extraction function pointer on different PMD threads.
+
+Scalar can be selected on core 3 by the following command where
+study count should not be provided for any implementation other
+than study ::

+ $ ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/miniflow-parser-set -pmd 3 scalar
