To me the name dpdk-testpmd-net is a bit long and does testpmd really just test 
PMDs. I was thinking of the name dpdk-tester is really pretty short and 
descriptive IMO. Adding net or pmd to the name does not really add anything as 
dpdk is kind of networking. Just my $0.04 worth.

Since you did all the work, instead of second patch what do you think
doing something like [1] (basically adding eth_dev->rte_driver link) and
when done for all vdevs, remove eth_dev->data->drv_name completely?

I think this patch is doing something else :)

I'm not sure what is better between big arrays and variable size.
I think you must explain these 2 options in another thread,
because I'm not sure you will have enough attention in a thread starting with
"check number of queues less than RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS".

I didn't get your point.
Currently drv_flags is in rte_pci_driver.
You intend to say that it should be moved to rte_device?

And, all the changes being discussed here are for 17.02.

No. As you have rightly mentioned below (as well as in your Jan'16 
post), it is a mere convenience.

Indeed. My problem (or lack of understanding) is that all PMDs rely on 
it and I don't know in what all pattern they have envisioned using this 
model of ethdev->pci_dev, the initialization sequences.
rte_device->init/uninit would settle most of those worries, I think.

Though I had read it (during the rte_device/driver series) but didn't 
remember it while posting this. I agree with your point of doing away 
with eth_driver.

Indeed. This is a big change. It impacts a lot of EAL code.

Hi,

I had a look at the html output before and after this patch and I don't quite 
agree with it. I see that you are trying to clean up and make the documentation 
more consistent but I don't know if this is the right way to do it.

The problem is that TestPMD is a bit of an outlier. It isn't a sample 
application and it isn't really a test application despite the name (it is more 
of a tester application). Also I don't think that it is a tool/utility like the 
other apps in the target directory (if it is seen as a tool then it should be 
renamed to something like dpdk-tester for consistency). Testpmd also has quite 
a lot of documentation, more than any of our other apps or utilities, which 
again makes it an outlier.

So my preference is to leave TestPMD in the high level index.

However, I do think the High level index should be cleaned up a bit and the 
items re-ordered into a more logical sequence. I'll submit a patch for that.

How do you know eth_driver->p is pointing to a rte_pci_driver or rte_soc_driver?

Netronome NFP devices support 128 queues and future version will support
1024.

A particular VF, our PMD just supports VFs, could get as much as 128.
Although that is not likely, that could be an option for some client.

Clients want to use a DPDK coming with a distribution, so changing the
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS depending on the present devices is not an
option.

We would be happy if RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS could be set to 1024,
covering current and future requirements for our cards, but maybe having
such big arrays inside struct rte_eth_stats is something people do not want
to have.

A solution could be to create such arrays dynamically based on the device
to get the stats from. For example, call to rte_eth_dev_configure could
have ax extra field for allocating a rte_eth_stats struct, which will be
based on nb_rx_q and nb_tx_q params already given to that function.

Maybe the first thing to know is what people think about just incrementing
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS to 1024.

So Thomas, what do you think about this?

RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS come from a limitation in Intel devices.
They have limited number of registers to store the stats per queue.

Considering there are several drivers in a platform bus, each driver
call the scan function, like the rte_eal_soc_scan_platform_bus() you
implemented.
The first will add soc devices to the list, but the remaining calls
are redundant.

The other issue is adding the driver parameter. Do you need extra
information from driver to scan the bus?

No I think OVS should handle the configuration error.
We could also add a function to query this capability before configuring.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] mempool: Add sanity check when secondary link-in less mempools than primary

[Jean Tourrilhes]

If the mempool ops the caller wants to use is not registered, the
library will segfault in an obscure way when trying to use that
mempool. It's better to catch it early and warn the user.

If the primary and secondary process were build using different build
systems, the list of constructors included by the linker in each
binary might be different. Mempools are registered via constructors, so
the linker magic will directly impact which mempools are registered with
the primary and the secondary.
DPDK currently assumes that the secondary has a superset of the
mempools registered at the primary, and they are in the same order
(same index in primary and secondary). In some build scenario, the
secondary might not initialise any mempools at all.

This would also catch cases where there is a bug in the mempool
registration, or some memory corruptions, but this has not been
observed.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] net: align ethdev and eal driver names

[David Marchand]

Some virtual pmds report a different name than the vdev driver name
registered in eal.
While it does not hurt, let's try to be consistent.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net: remove dead driver names

[David Marchand]

Since b1fb53a39d88 ("ethdev: remove some PCI specific handling"),
rte_eth_dev_info_get() relies on dev->data->drv_name to report the driver
name to caller.

Having the pmds set driver_info->driver_name in the pmds is useless,
since ethdev overwrites it right after.
The only thing the pmd must do is:
- for pci drivers, call rte_eth_copy_pci_info() which then sets
  data->drv_name
- for vdev drivers, manually set data->drv_name

At this stage, virtio-user does not properly report a driver name (fixed in
next commit).

That would be fine, as long as it became a well-known standard.
But at least, hope i40evf and ixgbevf to be consistent in this CRC handling.

Indeed. This is exactly the issue we will face if we try and move this 
scan/match logic to PCI - all devices are identified in one step.

There is a difference in principle here:
A SoC device/driver combination is essentially focused towards a single 
type of bus<->devices. For example, a NXP PMD would implement a scan 
function which would scan for all devices on NXP's bus. This would not 
conflict with another XYZ SoC PMD which scans its specific bus.

There is caveat to this - the platform bus. There can be multiple 
drivers which can serve platform bus compliant devices. First 
PMD->scan() initiated for such a bus/device would leave all other scans 
redundant.

More similar caveats will come if we consider somewhat generic buses. At 
least I couldn't find any interest for such devices in the ML when I 
picked this series (from where Jan left it).

Probably when more common type of PMDs come in, some default scan 
implementation can check for skipping those devices which are already 
added. It would be redundant but harmless.

I don't think it's a ulimit issue.
Actually, the memory is reserved once at startup. The -m EAL
option allows to specify the amount of memory allocated:

  -m MB   Memory to allocate (see also --socket-mem)

So I guess setting it to an higher value (256?) would do the job.

AFAIK, we don't need it. Above text is not stating anything on that 
grounds either, I think. Isn't it?

My take: PMD implementation would specify this - similar to how it is 
done now. A PCI PMD would perform a container_of(rte_pci_driver,...).
I don't think we need a differentiation here - primarily because 
generic doesn't handle the eth_driver.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] ethdev: check number of queues less than RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS

[Alejandro Lucero]

From: Bert van Leeuwen 

A device can have more than RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS queues which
is used inside struct rte_eth_stats. Ideally, DPDK should be built with
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS to the maximum number of queues a device
can support, 65536, as uint16_t is used for keeping those values for
RX and TX. But of course, having such big arrays inside struct rte_eth_stats
is not a good idea.

Current default value is 16, which could likely be changed to 32 or 64
without too much opposition. And maybe it would be a good idea to modify
struct rte_eth_stats for allowing dynamically allocated arrays and maybe
some extra fields for keeping the array sizes.

On my experience, OvS+DPDK has same issue.
You cannot run OvS on i40evf due to this CRC config mismatch, while OvS on 
ixgbevf works fine.
So, changing on i40evf PMD side would have more benefit, I believe.


[Details below]

ixgbevf is same Intel NIC but implementation is different. It won?t return 
error.

ixgbevf_dev_configure(struct rte_eth_dev *dev)
{

DPDK will just use the standard linux memory allocator, so no limitation in 
DPDK. Now you could be hitting the limit as a user, need to check your system 
to make sure you can allocate that much memory to a user. Try using the command 
ulimit and see what it reports.

I do not remember exactly how to change limits except with ulimit command. I 
may have modified /etc/security/limits.conf file.

[dpdk-dev] Clarification for eth_driver changes

[Shreyansh Jain]

Hello David, list,

I need some help and clarification regarding some changes I am doing to 
cleanup the EAL code.

There are some changes which should be done for 
eth_driver/rte_eth_device structures:

1. most obvious, eth_driver should be renamed to rte_eth_driver.
2. eth_driver currently has rte_pci_driver embedded in it
  - there can be ethernet devices which are _not_ PCI
  - in which case, this structure should be removed.
3. Similarly, rte_eth_dev has rte_pci_device which should be replaced 
with rte_device.

This is what the current outline of eth_driver is:

++
| eth_driver |
| +-+|
| | rte_pci_driver  ||
| | +--+||
| | | rte_driver   |||
| | |  name[]  |||
| | |  ... |||
| | +--+||
| |  .probe ||
| |  .remove||
| |  ...||
| +-+|
|  .eth_dev_init |
|  .eth_dev_uninit   |
++

This is what I was thinking:

+-++--+
| rte_pci_driver  ||eth_driver|
| +--+|   _|_struct rte_driver *p |
| | rte_driver   <---/ | .eth_dev_init|
| |  ... ||| .eth_dev_uninit  |
| |  name||+--+
| |||
| +--+|
|  |
+-+

::Impact::
Various drivers use the rte_pci_driver embedded in the eth_driver object 
for device initialization.
  == They assume that rte_pci_driver is directly embedded and hence 
simply dereference.
  == e.g. eth_igb_dev_init() in drivers/net/e1000/igb_ethdev.c file

With the above change, such drivers would have to access rte_driver and 
then perform container_of to obtain their respective rte_xxx_driver.
  == this would be useful in case there is a non-PCI driver

::Problem::
I am not sure of reason as to why eth_driver embedded rte_pci_driver in 
first place - other than a convenient way to define it before PCI driver 
registration.

As all the existing PMDs are impacted - am I missing something here in 
making the above change?

Probably, similar is the case for rte_eth_dev.

When do you plan to send VMBUS patches?
Could you send a deprecation notice for this change?
Are you aware of the work started by Shreyansh to have a generic bus model?
Could you help in 17.02 timeframe to have a solid bus model?

For each device to be used by DPDK, which cannot be scanned/identified 
using the existing PCI/VDEV methods (sysfs/bus/pci), 'soc_scan_t' 
provides a way for driver to make those devices part of device lists.

Ideally, 'scan' is not a function of a driver. It is a bus function - 
which is missing in this case.

Its for each driver - assuming that each non-PCI driver which implements 
it knows how to find devices which it can control (for example, special 
area in sysfs, or even platform bus).

> If it's for each bus, why it is in rte_soc_driver?

Short answer - lack of a better place. It should be in dev.h probably 
(rte_device/driver) but it would look out of place (as that represents 
PCI devices also which cannot implement it - all PCI devices are scanned 
in one go irrespective of driver)

> I know you will implement bus driver in the future, but we need to
> make it clear for current simplified implementation.

Current implementation makes only a single assumption - that rather than 
relying on EAL for identifying devices (as being done now), next best 
option in existing framework (driver) should have control of finding 
devices.

This is primarily to make the SoC work parallel to PCI implementation 
without much top-down changes in EAL.

Bus model, improvises it by moving this implementation a little above in 
hierarchy - in rte_bus<-rte_driver<-PMD.

I understand your apprehension - 'driver-scanning-for-devices' is indeed 
not correct real world analogy. It is just a place holder for enabling 
those drivers/PMDs which cannot work in absence of the right model.
And that is still work in progress.

I'm still not sure about the purpose of soc_scan, and how to use it.
If it's for each driver, it should at least struct rte_soc_driver * as
its parameter.
If it's for each bus, why it is in rte_soc_driver?
I know you will implement bus driver in the future, but we need to
make it clear for current simplified implementation.

Well, 'SoC'=='device' in this context. Isn't it?
In which case, 'soc_device' is just redundant/reuse of a descriptive word.

Or, on a second thought, 'SoC' represents a bus type here. In which 
case, this name sounds better. This would also warrant 
rte_eal_soc_register->rte_eal_soc_device_register.

But, if I need to keep it in sync with PCI (rte_eal_pci_register), I 
think original naming is apt.
I prefer continuing with existing (rte_eal_soc_dump) for this reason.

Indeed. I will fix this.
Being BSD, I didn't compile test this part. I will have to find a way to 
fix this in my sanity before sending next series.

I consulted this functionality internally and it seems we do not need this

[dpdk-dev] Clarification for eth_driver changes

Do we really need to keep a eth_driver ?
As far as I can see, it is only a convenient wrapper for existing pci
drivers, but in the end it is just a pci_driver with ethdev context in
it that could be pushed to each existing driver.

In my initial description
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-January/031390.html, what I had
in mind was only having a rte_eth_device pointing to a generic
rte_device.
If we need to invoke some generic driver ops from ethdev (I can only
see the ethdev hotplug api, maybe I missed something), then we would
go through rte_eth_device -> rte_device -> rte_driver.
The rte_driver keeps its own bus/private logic in its code, and no
need to expose a type.

Yes, that's the main change for me.


Thanks.

Why do you need any bus information at ethdev level?

Yes, as in 1bbcc5d21129 ("i40evf: report error for unsupported CRC
stripping config"), where -EINVAL is returned.

Just to make it sure, you mean returning an error in the driver when

Now that the feature seems well implemented, I think you can add
it to the feature matrix (doc/guides/nics/features/qede.ini).

(Please don't top-post.)

As discussed in the thread, it might be better to just change the
default in l3fwd from .hw_strip_crc = 0 to 1.

I'll be looking into changing igbvf and ixgbevf to match the semantics
of i40evf.

[Yao, Lei A]

I'm testing some DPDK sample under VMware. During the testing work, I find 
l3fwd+ ixgbe vf can work ,but  L3fwd + i40evf  can't work. So I reported this 
issue to Bjorn. From my perspective, if can add new parameter in l3fwd sample 
like what have already don?t in  testpmd "crc-strip enable" is a better way 
to resolve this issue.

Ok! Then I'd suggest changing the l3fwd default to actually *strip* CRC instead 
of not doing it. Lei, any comments?

Good. Let's do that!

Not from my perspective. The issue is that Lei needs some kind of work-around 
for l3fwd with i40evf, so I'll let Lei comment on how critical it is.

qede device is capable of 10, 25, 40, 50, 100Gb speeds.
It's configured at factory to have 100Gb, 50Gb, 40Gb or 25Gb speeds.
A unique PCI ID gets assigned to the device based on the speed configured.
25G device can auto-negotiate down to 10G speeds when connected to a 10G
switch.

So only for 25G case the above logic does not work correctly, for which I
have a submitted a minor fix today:
("[PATCH] net/qede: fix unknown speed errmsg for 25G link?). Pls include
it in 16.11.

Thanks,
Harish

I also think drv_flags should part of device not PCI. Most of the flags
there like link state support are generic. If it isn't changed for this
release will probably have to break ABI to fully support VMBUS

No, I was replying to Jianbo.
