> This patchset refactor the dpdk-devbind.py script to
> 
> 1) Optimize the bind and status operation delay(It is noticeable
> when the system has fairly large number of PCIe device. For instance,
> OCTEONTX system has around 170 PCIe devices and it takes around
> 19 seconds to bind devices. With this patch it is reduced to less
> than one seconds)
> 
> Patch 3 and 4 address this optimization
> 
> 2) There is a lot of common code in NIC and crypto device
> to get the device info, display status.
> 
> Patch 1 and 2 create a common code to add new devices
> without duplicating the code
> 
> 3) This patch creates the framework to define the DPDK PCI functional
> device by specifying the pci attributes like Vendor ID, Device ID,
> Sub Vendor ID, Sub Device ID and Class.This enables a flexible way to
> add DPDK function devices based on PCI attributes.
> 
> Crypto devices can belong to Encryption class(0x10) or Processor
> class(0x0b) based on the vendor preference.
> 
> Using this framework, The above disparity can be encoded in the following
> format
> 
> encryption_class = [{'Class': '10', 'Vendor': None,
>                      'Device': None, 'SVendor': None, 'SDevice': None}]
> 
> intel_processor_class = [{'Class': '0b', 'Vendor': '8086', 'Device': None,
>                         'SVendor': None, 'SDevice': None}]
> 
> crypto_devices = [encryption_class, intel_processor_class]
> 
> 4) Add eventdev, mempool PCI devices support
> 
> Guduri Prathyusha (7):
>   usertools: refactor the get NIC and crypto details
>   usertools: refactor the show status function
>   usertools: optimize lspci invocation
>   usertools: use optimized driver override scheme to bind
>   usertools: define DPDK PCI functional device
>   usertools: add eventdev PCI functional device
>   usertools: add mempool PCI functional device

Applied, thanks
