Hi Gaetan,
When using DPDK PF + DPDK VF, there's too much print like,
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Port 0: VF Mbox event
Make it a little hard to type a CLI.
I think it's introduced by this commit,
commit 76ad4a2d82d4d72c3a7ed4675d77268b5fae3cc9

app/testpmd: add generic event handler
This is a rather simple handler that prints a message with the name of
the current event. It can be used to check PMD callback registration and
triggers.
Seems it's not good to print every event directly. If it's necessary, is it better to redirect the output to a log file?
Thanks.
Best regards
Wenzhuo Lu

I'm not convinced of the logfile solution. I'd like to keep it simple
and contained. Logfile means having to provide a name, or use a default
one with several drawbacks, and a pretty leaky design.
I will add a handle mask that will enable or disable this logging
feature. The default mask would then enable it for LSC and other such
sporadic events, while disabling it for the VF Mbox one. It will be able
to be fine-tuned and configured at runtime by a parameter and/or testpmd
command.
I'll propose it soon.

Agree. Log file may be too heavy. The switches for the print is good enough.
