  Environment configuration is the responsibility of distributions
or upper-level frameworks.
DPDK focus on documenting the requirements and some recommendations.

Maintaining a good adaptative deployment setup is a project by itself.
Anyway this script was interactive, useful only for experimenters.

Personally I use script as a shortcut to allocate hugemaps, and find that bit
useful.

Agree that the environment configuration or deployment script is something else,
and not sure if this script ever claimed to be one, it is more a user helper
script I think.

What do you think remove the build part, which depends to Make build system as
mentioned above, and keep the rest as a helper script (and perhaps rename to
highlight the intention), so basically keep only below part:

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 2: Setup linux environment
----------------------------------------------------------
[45] Insert IGB UIO module
[46] Insert VFIO module
[47] Insert KNI module
[48] Setup hugepage mappings for non-NUMA systems
[49] Setup hugepage mappings for NUMA systems
[50] Display current Ethernet/Baseband/Crypto device settings
[51] Bind Ethernet/Baseband/Crypto device to IGB UIO module
[52] Bind Ethernet/Baseband/Crypto device to VFIO module
[53] Setup VFIO permissions

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 4: Other tools
----------------------------------------------------------
[56] List hugepage info from /proc/meminfo

----------------------------------------------------------
 Step 5: Uninstall and system cleanup
----------------------------------------------------------
[57] Unbind devices from IGB UIO or VFIO driver
[58] Remove IGB UIO module
[59] Remove VFIO module
[60] Remove KNI module
[61] Remove hugepage mappings

It does not cover other kernel modules.

It does not use the standard hugepage directory.

These are just calling another script in usertools.

This script has bad quality and is very partial.
Are we sure we want to keep above parts?
What about adding separate scripts for VFIO permissions
or hugepage mapping and info?

+1 for keeping at least the huge-page setup  part - I use this all the time.

Huge page setup should be made its own script.

Hugepage parameters should just be added to the kernel parameters in
/etc/default/grub and then forgotten about! :-)
Ray Kinsella Aug. 6, 2020, 1:51 p.m. UTC | #8 
Suggest we keep the deprecation notice, 
and note that the script will be replaced with a specific script for hugepages?
