Hi, I would like to use the flow director (on 82599) to steer packets to individual queues. However, I couldn't write a flow filter rule to the NIC. I have tried both the perfect filter and the signature one. Unfortunately, neither of them could work.
The error is: fdir_write_perfect_filter_82599(): Timeout writing flow director filter, or fdir_add_signature_filter_82599(): Timeout writing flow director filter. The OS on my server is ubuntu 16.04, the DPDK version is 18.11 the filter configure I am using is as follows: struct rte_eth_fdir_filter ff; memset(&ff, 0, sizeof(struct rte_eth_fdir_filter)); ff.input.flow.tcp4_flow.ip.dst_ip = 0xA040EC7 ff.input.flow.tcp4_flow.dst_port = 0x1A0A ff.action.report_status = RTE_ETH_FDIR_REPORT_ID; ff.action.behavior = RTE_ETH_FDIR_ACCEPT; ff.action.rx_queue = 1; ret = rte_eth_dev_filter_ctrl(port_id, RTE_ETH_FILTER_FDIR, RTE_ETH_FILTER_ADD, &ff); I am not sure where the problem is. Could you help me out? Thanks.
