[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 18.05-RC2 0/4] Clean up EAL runtime data paths

[Anatoly Burakov]

As has been suggested [1], all DPDK runtime paths should be put
into a single place. This patchset accomplishes exactly that.

If running as root, all files will be put under /var/run/dpdk/<prefix>,
otherwise they will be put under $XDG_RUNTIME_PATH/dpdk/<prefix>, or, if
that environment variable is not defined, all files will go under
/tmp/dpdk/<prefix>.

This patchset depends on file locking changes [2], and is targeted for RC2.

[1] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/38688/
[2] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/38888/

Anatoly Burakov (4):
  eal: remove unused define
  eal: rename function returning hugepage data path
  eal: add directory for DPDK runtime data
  eal: move all runtime data into DPDK runtime dir

[Anatoly Burakov]

The define was a leftover from IVSHMEM library.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 18.05-RC2 2/4] eal: rename function returning hugepage data path

[Anatoly Burakov]

The original name for this path was not too descriptive and
confusing. Rename it to a more appropriate and descriptive name:
it stores data about hugepages, so name it eal_hugepage_data_path().

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 18.05-RC2 3/4] eal: add directory for DPDK runtime data

[Anatoly Burakov]

Currently, during runtime, DPDK will store a bunch of files here
and there (in /var/run, /tmp or in $HOME). Fix it by creating a
DPDK-specific runtime directory, under which all runtime data
will be placed. The template for creating this runtime directory
is the following:

  <base path>/dpdk/<DPDK prefix>/

Where <base path> is set to either "/var/run" if run as root, or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if run as non-root, with a fallback to /tmp if
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined. So, for example, if run as root,
by default all runtime data will be stored at /var/run/dpdk/rte/.

There is no equivalent of "mkdir -p", so we will be creating the
path step by step.

Nothing uses this new path yet, changes for that will come in
next commit.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/4] Clean up EAL runtime data paths

[Anatoly Burakov]

As has been suggested [1], all DPDK runtime paths should be put
into a single place. This patchset accomplishes exactly that.

If running as root, all files will be put under /var/run/dpdk/<prefix>,
otherwise they will be put under $XDG_RUNTIME_PATH/dpdk/<prefix>, or, if
that environment variable is not defined, all files will go under
/tmp/dpdk/<prefix>.

[1] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/38688/

v2:
- Rebase on rc1

Anatoly Burakov (4):
  eal: remove unused define
  eal: rename function returning hugepage data path
  eal: add directory for DPDK runtime data
  eal: move all runtime data into DPDK runtime dir

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/4] eal: rename function returning hugepage data path

[Anatoly Burakov]

The original name for this path was not too descriptive and
confusing. Rename it to a more appropriate and descriptive name:
it stores data about hugepages, so name it eal_hugepage_data_path().

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/4] eal: add directory for DPDK runtime data

[Anatoly Burakov]

Currently, during runtime, DPDK will store a bunch of files here
and there (in /var/run, /tmp or in $HOME). Fix it by creating a
DPDK-specific runtime directory, under which all runtime data
will be placed. The template for creating this runtime directory
is the following:

  <base path>/dpdk/<DPDK prefix>/

Where <base path> is set to either "/var/run" if run as root, or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if run as non-root, with a fallback to /tmp if
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined. So, for example, if run as root,
by default all runtime data will be stored at /var/run/dpdk/rte/.

There is no equivalent of "mkdir -p", so we will be creating the
path step by step.

Nothing uses this new path yet, changes for that will come in
next commit.

<snip>


No full code review, high level comments:

We have to be careful in changing /var/run/.rte_config, which has always been
the default DPDK primary application lockfile. This has been used to identify
if a primary DPDK application is alive (see rte_eal_primary_proc_alive()) and
possibly the write-lock on this file is checked by other tools/utilities directly
without any DPDK function call.

Changing the filepath just before a release isn't a good idea - we should treat
this as an ABI/API break, as the change will break functionality in other projects
such as CollectD[1], which (by default ;) rely on the defaults. There is a config
file for CollectD to manually override the location, but this will cause headaches
from a usability POV.

I'm not opposed to the change - particularly as I gather the new memory subsystem
causes a number of lockfiles to be created - but we must do our due diligence and
give other projects fair-warning that this change is coming.

As such, I recommend this patchset in its current form (particularly patches 2,3,4)
to be deferred past 18.05.

What about if we keep the .rte_config file in the same place but move the
rest? The number of new files causes quite a bit of clutter. We can then
have a deprecation notice for the move in 18.05 and finish the cleanup in
18.08.

data_path sounds like packet processing data path.  eal_hugepage_data_file?.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/4] Clean up EAL runtime data paths

[Anatoly Burakov]

As has been suggested [1], all DPDK runtime paths should be put
into a single place. This patchset accomplishes exactly that.

If running as root, all files will be put under /var/run/dpdk/<prefix>,
otherwise they will be put under $XDG_RUNTIME_PATH/dpdk/<prefix>, or, if
that environment variable is not defined, all files will go under
/tmp/dpdk/<prefix>.

[1] http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/38688/

v3:
- Rebase on rc2
- Leave rte_config path in place, to be fixed for next release

v2:
- Rebase on rc1

  eal: remove unused define
  eal: rename function returning hugepage data path

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 3/4] eal: add directory for DPDK runtime data

[Anatoly Burakov]

Currently, during runtime, DPDK will store a bunch of files here
and there (in /var/run, /tmp or in $HOME). Fix it by creating a
DPDK-specific runtime directory, under which all runtime data
will be placed. The template for creating this runtime directory
is the following:

  <base path>/dpdk/<DPDK prefix>/

Where <base path> is set to either "/var/run" if run as root, or
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if run as non-root, with a fallback to /tmp if
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined. So, for example, if run as root,
by default all runtime data will be stored at /var/run/dpdk/rte/.

There is no equivalent of "mkdir -p", so we will be creating the
path step by step.

Nothing uses this new path yet, changes for that will come in
next commit.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 4/4] eal: move all runtime data into DPDK runtime dir

[Anatoly Burakov]

Fix all calls to functions in eal_filesystem to produce paths
residing inside dedicated DPDK runtime directory. Leaving DPDK
runtime config in place as 3rd-party applications within the
DPDK ecosystem might rely on this path to determine whether
DPDK is running, so moving that will be postponed to the next
release cycle.
