app/flow-perf: added option to support flow priority
Checks
Commit Message
From: Satheesh Paul <psatheesh@marvell.com>
Added support to specify maximum flow priority option. When
this option is given, each flow will be created with the
priority attribute and the priority will be random between
0 to max-flow-priority. This is useful to measure performance
on NICs which may have to rearrange flows to honor flow priority.
Removed the lower limit of 100000 flows per batch.

--max-priority=N is good, but I think to reflect the exact usage of it we need something like:
--random-priority=lower_hand-upper_hand
That do random prio from lower to upper.

The 32 is some PMD limitation? I don't think all PMDs will have the same limitation, please remove this condition.

This doesn't make sense, the set for pseudo random generator need to store the seed to make sure that you can reproduce the
Same numbers.
The current usage is per core and also it passes rte_rdtsc() which is not pre-known value.
I suggest to pass the seed from the same parameter:
--random-priority=lower-upper;seed
Otherwise you cannot replicate the same test case twice.

--max-priority=N is good, but I think to reflect the exact usage of it we need something like:
--random-priority=lower_hand-upper_hand
That do random prio from lower to upper.
The spec says priority 0 must be supported. Since we have one side of the interval, it may not be useful to take "lower_hand" as input.

Ack. But can we have it as "--random-priority=N,S" which would mean random priority between (0, N - 1) will be used in flow creation and S is the seed for pseudo-random number generator?
