OK,

In my own testing I’m seeing the same behavior with a tap interface pinging to 
a bridge with a DPDK device. As such I think this should be ok.

Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] netdev-dpdk: Execute QoS Checking before copying to mbuf

Here is the the testing I just did:
1. Add log in function netdev_dpdk_policer_pkt_handle
static inline bool
netdev_dpdk_policer_pkt_handle(struct rte_meter_srtcm *meter,
                               struct rte_mbuf *pkt, uint64_t time)
{
    uint32_t pkt_len = rte_pktmbuf_pkt_len(pkt) - sizeof(struct ether_hdr);
    VLOG_WARN("GGGG, payload_len:%u, rte_pkt_len:%u",
              pkt_len, rte_pktmbuf_pkt_len(pkt)); 
<------------------------print out pkt_len

    return rte_meter_srtcm_color_blind_check(meter, time, pkt_len) ==
                                                e_RTE_METER_GREEN;
}
2. rebuild a rpm, install in machine, enable DPDK.
3. Create a container on the bridge(userspace bridge). (The container use veth 
device)
4. Config qos on eth dpdk eth by using : ovs-vsctl set port dpdk-uplink-eth3 
qos=@newqos -- --id=@newqos create qos  type=egress-policer 
other-config:cir=1250000 other-config:cbs=2048
5. execute ping on the container and monitor ovs-vswitchd.log. Then I can see:

2017-08-31T01:39:28.036Z|00133|netdev_dpdk|WARN|GGGG, payload_len:88, 
rte_pkt_len:102
2017-08-31T01:39:29.036Z|00134|netdev_dpdk|WARN|GGGG, payload_len:88, 
rte_pkt_len:102
2017-08-31T01:39:30.036Z|00135|netdev_dpdk|WARN|GGGG, payload_len:88, 
rte_pkt_len:102
2017-08-31T01:39:31.036Z|00136|netdev_dpdk|WARN|GGGG, payload_len:88, 
rte_pkt_len:102
So the mbuf->pkt_len has a correct length.
On the code side, we have function dp_packet_set_size(), if ovs compiled with 
dpdk, this function set the mbuf.data_len and mbuf.pkt_len. Many functions 
consume dp_packet_set_size() like netdev_linux_rxq_recv_sock in Netdev-linux.c

#ifdef DPDK_NETDEV
......

static inline void
dp_packet_set_size(struct dp_packet *b, uint32_t v)
{
.....
    b->mbuf.data_len = (uint16_t)v;  /* Current seg length. */
    b->mbuf.pkt_len = v;             /* Total length of all segments linked to
                                      * this segment. */
}
Please let me know if you have any concern on it.

Thanks
Zhenyu Gao

Hi Zhenyu, thanks for the patch, I agree with the objective of the patch but 
have some comments below I'd like to see addressed/tested before signing off.

So dpdk_do_tx_copy will be called as part of netdev_dpdk_eth_send__ if its 
triggered by the following conditions

    if (OVS_UNLIKELY(!may_steal ||
                     batch->packets[0]->source != DPBUF_DPDK)

What will happen in above if the source of the packet is not DPBUF_DPDK?

For the most part it will be ok until 'netdev_dpdk_policer_pkt_handle()' is 
called later on.

This has specific DPDK calls that expect an mbuf source for the packet.

Previously QoS took place after the packet had been copied so this was not an 
issue but now we have DPDK rte functions being called on a non mbuf source 
packet. I'm not sure of the behavior that could occur in this case. Could an 
incorrect length be returned for the call rte_pktmbuf_pkt_len(pkt) in 
'netdev_dpdk_policer_pkt_handle()'?

It could be the case then that non DPDK specific call maybe required to attain 
the length of the packet in 'netdev_dpdk_policer_pkt_handle()' before calling 
the meter itself.

Have you tested this use case?
