2016-08-24Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionalityChristian Trautman1-0/+2
Adds multi-queue for vanilla OVS using virtio-net. TunTap ports will use multi_queue parameter when ports are created/deleted if guest nic queues are enabled and vswitch is ovs vanilla. Virtio net will now add guest nic queues to qemu command line if appropriate. Reworked multi-queue documentation to reflect these changes. Adds vhost net thread affinitization which is recommended when performing vanilla ovs multi-queue. Guests will require ethtool if using l2fwd or linux bridge as the loopback application when vanilla ovs multi-queue is enabled. Modified dpdk setting in vswitch conf to be better worded for separation from vanilla ovs multi-queue. Updated release and installation doc for new vloop image that includes required ethtool utility.

2016-05-12dpdk: Support of DPDK v16.04Martin Klozik1-1/+2
Configuration options modified by VSPERF were split between config_base and config_linuxapp files. Makefile was modified to reflect this change. Additional changes: * content of qemu shared dir is copied without preservation of attributes to avoid compilation issues due misaligned clocks => could produce broken igb_uio module * added support of new testpmd "Bye.." message * DPDK sources are copied from RTE_SDK_USER directory for all VNF variants - this has been wrongly reverted by inttest patch Change-Id: Id502a072c1f843258496decbf031e7ba7264d459 JIRA: VSPERF-297 Signed-off-by: Martin Klozik <martinx.klozik@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Maryam Tahhan <maryam.tahhan@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Al Morton <acmorton@att.com> Reviewed-by: Christian Trautman <ctrautma@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Brian Castelli <brian.castelli@spirent.com> Reviewed-by: Michal Weglicki <michalx.weglicki@intel.com>
