[PATCH v1] dpdk-devbind.py: Virtio interface issue.

[PATCH v1] dpdk-devbind.py: Virtio interface issue.

[souvikdey33]

This change is required to have the interface name for virtio interfaces.
When we execute the status command the for virtio inerfaces we get
Sample output without the change:
0000:00:04.0 'Virtio network device' if= drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio
Though for other drivers this works.
Sample output with the change:
0000:00:04.0 'Virtio network device' if=eth0 drv=virtio-pci unused=virtio_pci,igb_uio

Hi,

Welcome to DPDK and thanks for the contribution. It looks like a useful fix.

Since you are a new contributor the user guide on "Contributing Code to DPDK"
explains some of the steps involved:

    http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/patches.html

Some comments below.

As you will see in the guide above the subject line should be lowercase and
shouldn't end with a full stop. Also, the prefix would be better as "tools". 
Something like this:

    tools: fix issue with virtio interfaces

The word fix on the command line normally means you should add a "Fixes" line
to the body but in this case the issue was probably always there (or at least
since virtio support was added) so you can probably omit it.

You should add your real name to the sign off.

The commands module is deprecated in Python 2 and removed in Python 3.
Python 2 and 3 should both be supported by the DPDK tools. In which case
you can use subprocess.check_output(), or similar, instead.

This space/tab indentation gives a Python error.

There a number of small Python formatting issues in the patch. The DPDK Python
code follows the pep8 guidelines:

    http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/coding_style.html#python-code

Here are the warnings:

    $ pep8 tools/dpdk-devbind.py

Could you fix those issues and submit a V2 of the patch.

Even if it has always been there, we need to know the commit origin.
The "Fixes:" line makes things clear and helps when backporting.

In that case the fixline should be:

    Fixes: 629395b063e8 ("igb_uio: remove PCI id table")

I am not a python export but in general it is better to use native language
facilities likes os.listdir() rather than using shell pipes.

There should be a way to do this in python without going out to shell.
This would be safer and more secure.

The code already uses os.listdir() (which is the python library version
of ls) in later section. Why not use that here to check for virtio bus.

We did this slightly differently. This is 100% python and is a bit more general. We search for the first "net" directory under the specific device directory.

There should be a way to do this in python without going out to shell.
This would be safer and more secure.

The code already uses os.listdir() (which is the python library version of ls) in later section. Why not use that here to check for virtio bus.

Hi,

I already followed the 100% python way and submitted the v3 of this patch. http://dpdk.org/dev/patchwork/patch/15378/
How will your patch be different in solving the issue. There will always be multiple ways to solving things right.

When I was suggesting pure python, I meant do it without a sub shell. Popen is just
another wrapper around a sub-shell.

As stephen says, using popen is a bit of a hack here.  You could easily use one
of several python-sysfs libraries to simplify the sysfs enumeration and

There should be a way to do this in python without going out to shell.
This would be safer and more secure.

The code already uses os.listdir() (which is the python library version of ls) in later section. Why not use that here to check for virtio bus.

Hi Gary,

That looks like a cleaner solution. Could you submit that as a patch.

Souvik, could you test this patch and confirm it fixes your issue.


Gary, if you submit a patch could you make a few minor changes:

> +    device["Interface"] = ""
> +    for base, dirs, files in os.walk("/sys/bus/pci/devices/%s/" % dev_id):
> +        

If "files" is unused, and it looks like it is, then replace it with "_".


> +            device["Interface"] = ",".join(os.listdir(os.path.join(base,"net")))

There is a space required after "," for PEP8 compliance.

Hi Gary,

That looks like a cleaner solution. Could you submit that as a patch.

Souvik, could you test this patch and confirm it fixes your issue.


Gary, if you submit a patch could you make a few minor changes:

> +    device["Interface"] = ""
> +    for base, dirs, files in os.walk("/sys/bus/pci/devices/%s/" % dev_id):
> +        

If "files" is unused, and it looks like it is, then replace it with "_".


> +            device["Interface"] = 
> + ",".join(os.listdir(os.path.join(base,"net")))

There is a space required after "," for PEP8 compliance.
