A new API for EAL takes a config file data type - either loaded from file, or built up programmatically in the application - and extracts DPDK parameters from it to be used when eal init is called. This allows apps to have an alternative method to configure EAL, other than via command-line parameters. Testpmd application is used to the demonstrate the new eal API. If a --cfgfile-path option is passed into command line non EAL section, then the file is loaded and used by app. If a file called config.ini is present in current working directory, and no --cfgfile-path option is passed in, config.ini file will be loaded and used by app. Last patch demonstrates the usage of JSON file format insted of config.ini JSON file can be called the same way as above, thru --cfgfile-path --- v3: split one patchset into two distinct patchsets: 1. cfgfile library and TEST app changes 2. EAL changes and examples (this patchset depends on cfgfile) v2: lib eal: Rework of rte_eal_configure(struct rte_cfgfile *cfg, char *prgname). Now this function load data from cfg structure and did initial initialization of EAL arguments. Vdev argument are stored in different subsections eg. DPDK.vdev0, DPDK.vdev1 etc. After execution of this function it is necessary to call rte_eal_init to complete EAL initialization. There is no more merging arguments from different sources (cfg file and command line). Added non_eal_configure to testpmd application. Function maintain the same functionality as rte_eal_configure but for non-eal arguments. Added config JSON feature to testpmd last patch from patchset contain example showing use of .json configuration files. lib cfgfile: Rework of add_section(), add_entry() new implementation New members allocated_entries/sections, free_entries/sections in rte_cfgfile structure, change in array of pointers **sections, **entries instead of *sections[], *entries[] Add set_entry() to update/overwrite already existing entry in cfgfile struct Add save() function to save on disc cfgfile structure in INI format Rework of existing load() function simplifying the code Add unit test realloc_sections() in TEST app for testing realloc/malloc of new API functions, add test for save() function Kuba Kozak (3): eal: add functions parsing EAL arguments app/testpmd: changed example to parse options from cfg file app/testpmd: add parse arguments from JSON config file app/test-pmd/Makefile | 6 + app/test-pmd/config.ini | 24 + app/test-pmd/config.json | 33 + app/test-pmd/parameters.c | 1193 +++++++++++++---------- app/test-pmd/testpmd.c | 159 ++- app/test-pmd/testpmd.h | 3 +- config/common_base | 6 + lib/Makefile | 6 +- lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/Makefile | 4 + lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/eal.c | 249 ++++- lib/librte_eal/bsdapp/eal/rte_eal_version.map | 4 + lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_cpuflags.c | 14 +- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_lcore.c | 11 +- lib/librte_eal/common/eal_common_options.c | 5 + lib/librte_eal/common/include/rte_eal.h | 21 + lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/Makefile | 3 + lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/eal.c | 353 +++++-- lib/librte_eal/linuxapp/eal/rte_eal_version.map | 4 + mk/rte.app.mk | 2 +- 19 files changed, 1469 insertions(+), 631 deletions(-) create mode 100644 app/test-pmd/config.ini create mode 100644 app/test-pmd/config.json -- 2.7.4
