From 0fb65d2afadad1f092788f5a4f251b09851b3ae7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Trautman Date: Fri, 22 Jul 2016 15:54:18 -0400 Subject: Vanilla_Multi_Queue: Add vanilla ovs multi-queue functionality 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.
