2016-08-09hugepage_detect: Change hugepage detection to check for free hugepagesChristian Trautman1-1/+11
Change hugepage detection to check if hugepages are configured. Also verifies enough free hugepages are available based on test configuration. Will result in an exception if not enough hugepages are found. This performs the check based on the guest memory configs as well as the dpdk socket configs. Adds some new methods to check for free hugepages based on all hugepages or for socket free hugepages. Adds new logging indicitaing needed and free hugepages as well as info level event if hugepages are not configured at recommended 1GB size.

2016-05-06dpdk: Support new way of DPDK configuration in ovs-vswitchdMartin Klozik1-0/+9
Configuration of DPDK options in ovs-vswitchd has changed. Previously used option --dpdk was deprecated and all DPDK related options have to be configured through ovsdb via ovs-vsctl calls. VSPERF was modified to detect and use correct version of DPDK configuration. New configuration options should be put into VSWITCHD_DPDK_CONFIG dictionary. VSPERF classes specific to OVS were refactored.
