[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/1] net/mlx4: add port parameter

Fri Mar 3 16:40:06 CET 2017


Most ConnectX-3 adapters expose two physical ports on a single PCI bus
address.

Add a new port parameter allowing the user to choose
either or both physical ports to be used by the application.

This parameter is used as follows:

Selecting only the second port:
   -w 00:00.0,port=1

Selecting both ports:
   -w 00:00.0,port=0,port=1

If no parameter is given, the default behavior is unchanged: all ports
are probed.

+  This parameter provides a physical port to probe and can be specified multiple
