* netdev-dpdk: Obtain number of queues for vhost ports from attached virtio.Ilya Maximets2016-07-081-16/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, there are few inconsistencies in ways to configure number of queues for netdev device: * dpif-netdev can't know about exact number of queues allocated inside netdev. This leads to constant mapping of queue-ids to 'real' ones. * We are able to configure 'n_rxq' for vhost-user devices, but there is only one sane number of rx queues which must be used and configured manually (number of queues that allocated in QEMU). This patch disables configuration of 'n_rxq' for DPDK vHost devices. Configuration of rx and tx queues now automatically applied from connected virtio device. Standard reconfiguration mechanism was used to apply this changes. Also, now 'n_txq' and 'n_rxq' are always the real numbers of queues in the device.
