This patch enhances dpif-netdev-perf to detect iterations with
suspicious statistics according to the following criteria:
- iteration lasts longer than US_THR microseconds (default 250).
This can be used to capture events where a PMD is blocked or
interrupted for such a period of time that there is a risk for
dropped packets on any of its Rx queues.
- max vhost qlen exceeds a threshold Q_THR (default 128). This can
be used to infer virtio queue overruns and dropped packets inside
a VM, which are not visible in OVS otherwise.
Such suspicious iterations can be logged together with their iteration
statistics to be able to correlate them to packet drop or other events
outside OVS.
A new command is introduced to enable/disable logging at run-time and
to adjust the above thresholds for suspicious iterations:
ovs-appctl dpif-netdev/pmd-perf-log-set [on|off]
[-b before] [-a after] [-us usec] [-q qlen]
Turn logging on or off at run-time (on|off).
-b before: The number of iterations before the suspicious iteration to
be logged (default 5).
-a after: The number of iterations after the suspicious iteration to
be logged (default 5).
-q qlen: Suspicious vhost queue fill level threshold. Increase this
to 512 if the Qemu supports 1024 virtio queue length.
(default 128).
-us usec: change the duration threshold for a suspicious iteration
(default 250 us).
If more than 100 iterations before or after a suspicious iteration have
been looged once, OVS falls back to the safe default values (5/5) to
avoid that logging itself causes continuos further logging.
