[ovs-dev] [PATCH v6 2/7] dpif-netdev: Make PMD auto load balance use common rxq scheduling.

Kevin Traynor ktraynor at redhat.com
Fri Jul 16 14:22:22 UTC 2021


PMD auto load balance had its own separate implementation of the
rxq scheduling that it used for dry runs. This was done because
previously the rxq scheduling was not made reusable for a dry run.

Apart from the code duplication (which is a good enough reason
to replace it alone) this meant that if any further rxq scheduling
changes or assignment types were added they would also have to be
duplicated in the auto load balance code too.

This patch replaces the current PMD auto load balance rxq scheduling
code to reuse the common rxq scheduling code.

The behaviour does not change from a user perspective, except the logs
are updated to be more consistent.

As the dry run will compare the pmd load variances for current and
estimated assignments, new functions are added to populate the current
assignments and use the rxq scheduling data structs for variance
calculations.

Now that the new rxq scheduling data structures are being used in
PMD auto load balance, the older rr_* data structs and associated
functions can be removed.
