[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6] net/i40e: determine number of queues per VF during run time

Wei Dai wei.dai at intel.com
Mon Nov 27 09:08:59 CET 2017


Without this patch, the number of queues per i40e  VF is defined as 4
by CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_QUEUE_NUM_PER_VF=4 in config/common_base.
It is fixed value determined in building time and can't be changed
during run time.
With this patch, the number of queues per i40e VF can be determinated
during run time. For example, if the PCI address of an i40e VF is
aaaa:bb.cc, with the EAL parameter -w aaaa:bb.cc,queue-num-per-vf=8,
the number of queues per VF is 8.
If there is no "queue-num-per-vf" setting in EAL parameters, it is 4
by default as before. And if the value after the "queue-num-per-vf"
is invalid, it is set as 4 forcibly. The valid values include 1, 2, 4,
8, 16 .
