Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix the default RSS key
configuration
When an user runs a flow create cmd to configure an RSS rule
without specifying the empty rss actions in testpmd, this mean
that the flow gets the default RSS functions. However, the
testpmd is not set the default RSS key incorrectly when RSS key
is specified in flow create cmd.
Hi Lijun,
I think it works.
When we create an RSS flow rule which doesn't specify any 'rss-hash-key',
the 'rss-hash-key' will be updated with the default key.
Step 1:
testpmd> show port 0 rss-hash key
RSS functions:
all ipv4-frag ipv4-other ipv6-frag ipv6-other ip
RSS key:
4439796BB54C5023B675EA5B124F9F30B8A2C03DDFDC4D02A08C9B334AF64A4
C05C6FA343958D8557D99583AE138C92E81150366
Step 2:
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end actions rss
types ipv4-udp end queues end / end
Flow rule #0 created
Step 3:
testpmd> show port 0 rss-hash key
RSS functions:
all ipv4-udp udp
RSS key:
74657374706D6427732064656661756C74205253532068617368206B65792C206F

Yes, However, it is not the default value that users use when testpmd
starts. This may mislead users. When the driver is initialized, the
default key used by the driver is provided for users. The key varies
according to the DPDK vendor.However, after the DPDK is initialized, if
the user runs the flow create command without specifying the rss key,
the driver obtains another default key value, which may be different
from the default value expected by the user.
It needs a dummy key.
a4391f8bae85 - app/testpmd: set default RSS key as null
Hi, Phil Yang
Yes, I've reviewed the patch("a4391f8bae85 - app/testpmd: set
default RSS key as null") and read all other people's comments.
However, the patch has been reverted in V2 and restored to the orginal
states. The link as follows:
https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/47961/
I also don't think the key_len parameter is very profitable
for users to configure. Others say that other optimizations will be
considered later. Do you have any plans?
Best regards, Liju Ou
