- changed memory requirement from total to available. This allows to start on
systems with less total memory and protects from startup on systems with
overloaded memory.
- prevent startup if sysctl settings were not applied. This protects from
situations when the system cannot allocate enough hugepages or apply other
sysctl settings.
|
|
After an interface is added/removed from VPP, it will be reinitialized, which
allows reconfiguring IP addresses on it.
Also modified VPP load priority to start before interfaces, and avoid
reconfiguration during boot.
|
|
Do not allow configure VPP if on the systems with low amount
installed memory
Add sysctl VPP parameters (hugepages, kernel.shmmax)
|
|
- added extra renaming operation to be sure that interface has the same name as
before in the system after it was moved from VPP to kernel
- added extra check after PCI device removal/adding
- added check for proper `retval` for CPI calls where it is available
- replaced empty return with an error in `_get_pci_address_by_interface()`
because not resolved address will lead to inconsistency of the system later
|
|
- added ability to add/remove interfaces without system reboot
- added `attempts` and `interval` to the VPP API connection. This is helpful in
case of high system load or when VPP was just started and API is not yet
available.
- added exceptions to API calls. This allows handling errors in communication
with API properly in conf-mode scripts.
- fixed PCI address search in VPP to match Linux kernel and ethtool style
- fixed systemd daemons control - first reload, then restart
- removed debug prints
- removed `vm.nr_hugepages` configuration. It is not required now but increases
RAM requirements a lot.

Use info from both ethtool and VPP to find PCI address for an
interface.
|
|
Replaced CLI commands with API calls.
CLI commands still can be used via:
```
vpp_control = VPPControl()
vpp_control.cli_cmd('command_here')
```

Add initial configuration mode for VPP (PoC)
set vpp cpu corelist-workers '2'
set vpp cpu main-core '1'
set vpp interface eth1 num-rx-desc '256'
set vpp interface eth1 num-rx-queues '512'
set vpp interface eth1 num-tx-desc '256'
set vpp interface eth1 num-tx-queues '512'
set vpp interface eth1 pci '0000:02:00.0'
set vpp interface eth1 rx-mode 'polling'
set vpp interface eth2 pci '0000:08:00.0'
Limitation:
- 'set vpp interface ethX pci auto' works only per first
commit, then interface detached from default stack and creates
tun interface 'ethX' to communicate with default stack. In this
case we can't get PCI address via ethtool for 'tun' interfaces.
But we can set pci address manualy.
- Interface sync between default stack and VPP-DPDK stack
After vpp change it doesn't trigger iproute2 for changes
(should be written later)
I.e. if we change something in vpp per each commit it restarts
vpp.service it gets empty interface config as we don't configure vpp
directly and it should be configured via iproute2
But then if we do any change on interface (for example description)
it gets IP address, MTU, state, etc.
