Commit Message

Adrian Moreno Dec. 4, 2019, 3:07 p.m. UTC
Currently there are a couple of limitations on the logging system: Most
of the logs are compiled out and both datapath and controlpath logs
share the same loglevel.

This patch tries to help fix that situation by:
- Splitting control plane and data plane logs
- Making control plane logs dynamic while keeping data plane logs
compiled out by default for log levels lower than the INFO.

As a result, two macros are introduced:
- VHOST_LOG_CONFIG(LEVEL, ...): Config path logging. Level can be
dynamically controlled by "lib.vhost.config"

- VHOST_LOG_DATA(LEVEL, ...): Data path logging. Level can be dynamically
controlled by "lib.vhost.data". Every log macro with a level lower than
RTE_LOG_DP_LEVEL (which defaults to RTE_LOG_INFO) will be compiled out.

I propose to remove the Fixes line, as thinking at it again, it is more
an improvement.

Also, I fixed the title to remove the upper case to "Add" so that it
complies with the guidelines.


Thanks,
Maxime
