The comments are different, PKT_TX_IPV4 has different meanings.

 Let's think about these IPv4/6 flags in terms of checksum and IP 
 version/type,

 1. For IPv6
 IP checksum is meaningful only for IPv4,  so we define 'PKT_TX_IPV6  
 /* packet is IPv6 */' to tell driver/HW that this is IPV6
>> packet,
 here we don't talk about the checksum for IPv6 as it is meaningless. Right?

 PKT_TX_IPV6  /* packet is IPv6 */ -- IP type: v6;  HW 
 checksum: meaningless

 2. For IPv4,
 My patch:

 PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* packet is IPv4, and we want hw cksum 
 */--IP type: v4;  HW checksum: Yes
 PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4, and we don't want hw cksum */ 
 --- IP type: v4;  HW checksum: No

 You want:
 PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* we want hw IP cksum */-- IP 
 type: v4;  HW checksum: Yes
 PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4*/   IP type: 
 v4; HW checksum: yes or no?

  driver/HW don't know, just know this is 
 packet with IPv4 header.

  HW checksum: meaningless??

For the user, it's clearer to have one information in a flag.
If you just look at the name of the flag, the natural meaning is 2/,
else we would need to rename them in:
   PKT_TX_IPV4_CKSUM
   PKT_TX_IPV4_NO_CKSUM

in solution 2/, PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM implies PKT_TX_IPV4 so checking
PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM is still enough in drivers.

In the driver, it is also simpler. With solution 1/:

/* check if we need ipcsum */
if (flags & PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM)

/* check if packet is ipv4, may be needed to set a hw field */
if (flags & (PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM|PKT_TX_IPV4))


With solution 2/

/* check if we need ipcsum */
if (flags & PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM)

/* check if packet is ipv4, may be needed to set a hw field */
if (flags & PKT_TX_IPV4)


I agree it can looks like a detail, but I really think it's important
to have the most logical and straightforward api for mbuf, as it's
the core of DPDK.

Olivier

I think it's more like solution 2 with a renaming. And it is more
coherent to always have "IPV4" on all flag names.

I prefer solution 2 because a flag should bring only 1 information.
It's simply saner and could fit to more situations in the future.

Yes, 'PKT_TX_IPV4_CSUM is an alias to PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  and we are going to 
remove it.

No one even planned it.

Hmm, and how this is different from what we have now in the Jijiang's patch?
Except that you renamed PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM to PKT_TX_IPV4_CKSUM?

In TX side,  if just tell driver/HW this is a IPV4 packet , and don't tell  
driver/HW whether TX checksum  or other offload  is required or not , the flag 
is senseless,  and hardware will not do any offload.

The flag is not used in igb/ixgbe codes, which is just used in i40e codes, and 
set this bit(IPv4 packet with no IP checksum offload) in i40e driver.

*td_cmd |= I40E_TX_DESC_CMD_IIPT_IPV4;

There is another bit flag named 'PKT_TX_IPV4_CSUM' which uses the
same bit of 'PKT_TX_IP_CSUM'. It is for identifying if ipv4 hardware
checksum offload is needed or not.
It seems that we do not need 'PKT_TX_IPV6_CSUM'.
'PKT_TX_IPV4' and 'PKT_TX_IPV6' just indicates its packet type, and I guess
other features should not be contained in it, according to its name.

So here I got the option 3:
PKT_TX_IPV4_CKSUM  /* we want hw IPv4 cksum */
PKT_TX_IPV6  /* packet is IPv6 */
PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4 */

Let's think about these IPv4/6 flags in terms of checksum and IP version/type,

1. For IPv6 
IP checksum is meaningful only for IPv4,  so we define 'PKT_TX_IPV6  /* 
packet is IPv6 */' to tell driver/HW that this is IPV6 packet, here we don't 
talk about the checksum for IPv6 as it is meaningless. Right?

PKT_TX_IPV6  /* packet is IPv6 */ -- IP type: v6;  HW checksum: 
meaningless

2. For IPv4,
My patch:

PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* packet is IPv4, and we want hw cksum 
*/--IP type: v4;  HW checksum: Yes
PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4, and we don't want hw cksum */ 
--- IP type: v4;  HW checksum: No

You want:
PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* we want hw IP cksum */-- IP type: 
v4;  HW checksum: Yes
PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4*/   IP type: v4; HW 
checksum: yes or no?

   driver/HW don't know, just know this is packet with IPv4 
header. 

   HW checksum: meaningless??

ok, so we are back between:

1/ (Jijiang's patch)
PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* packet is IPv4, and we want hw cksum */
PKT_TX_IPV6  /* packet is IPv6 */
PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4, and we don't want hw cksum */

with PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM and PKT_TX_IPV4 exclusive

and

2/
PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM  /* we want hw IP cksum */
PKT_TX_IPV6  /* packet is IPv6 */
PKT_TX_IPV4  /* packet is IPv4 */

with PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM implies PKT_TX_IPV4


Solution 2/ looks better from a user point of view. Anyone else has an
opinion?

Olivier

Sorry, didn't get you here.
Are you talking about our discussion should PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM and PKT_TX_IPV4 be 
mutually exclusive or not?

In that mail, I was talking about my suggestion to make  PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM, 
PKT_TX_IPV4 and PKT_TX_IPV6 to occupy 2 bits.
Something like:
#define PKT_TX_IP_CKSUM (1 << X)
#define PKT_TX_IPV6 (2 << X)
#define PKT_TX_IPV4 (3 << X)

"Even better, if we can squeeze these 3 flags into 2 bits.
Would save us 2 bits, plus might be handy, as in the PMD you can do:

switch (ol_flags & TX_L3_MASK) {
case TX_IPV4:
   ...
   break;
case TX_IPV6:
   ...
   break;
case TX_IP_CKSUM:
   ...
   break;
}"

As you pointed out, it will break backward compatibility.
I agreed with that and self-NACKed it.

2014-12-02 Thread Jijiang Liu
Replace PKT_TX_VXLAN_CKSUM with PKT_TX_UDP_TUNNEL_PKT in order to indicate a 
packet is an UDP tunneling packet, and introduce 3 TX offload flags for outer 
IP TX checksum, which are PKT_TX_OUTER_IP_CKSUM, PKT_TX_OUTER_IPV4 and 
PKT_TX_OUTER_IPV6 respectively;Rework csum forward engine and i40e PMD due to
