[dpdk-dev] Which vmxnet3 pmd is to be used in dpdk 1.6.x?
Hi Stephen, Kindly let me know if the multi-segment support for vmxnet3 pmd is already in, in a formal release of DPDK. Or which formal release you are targeting this for.

Hi Stephen, I believe the 1.6.0r2 is baking. It would be great if you could enhance the vmxnet3 driver on the above with multi-segment support. Any serious usecase ends up using multi-segment, so would be great if r2 can capture it.

Hi Stephen, Can you please advise on your experience of the kind of data rates you have been able to achieve with vmxnet3.

[dpdk-dev] Which vmxnet3 pmd is to be used in dpdk 1.6.x?
Hi,
Regarding performance with vmxnet3 driver, the programmer's guide says thus --
"
Currently, the driver provides basic support for using the device in an
Intel(r) DPDK
application running on a guest OS. Optimization is needed on the backend, that
is, the
VMware* ESXi vmkernel switch, to achieve optimal performance end-to-end.
"
Can someone advise what are the techniques of 'backend optimization on the
vmkernel switch'
I ran some initial tests without any attempt for above optimization and the
data rates I am achieving with vmxnet3 are not very encouraging.
Regards
-Prashant

Hi Srini,
Thanks, I could also make it work, thanks to your cue !
Now then, this multi-segment not being supported in vmxnet3 driver is a big
party-pooper for me. Unfortunately in my usecase, I do indeed make heavy use of
multisegment buffers for sending out the data, so my usecase has failed and I
will have to fix that.
Also, can you please adivse how much is the max data rates you have been able
to achieve with one vmxnet3 10G port.
Thanks a lot for the advice once again.

Prashant, Are you still hitting a crash? Do you have hugetlbfs enabled? if not try adding enabling hugetlbfs. I was able to get vxnet3 up using the vmxnet3 pmd alone in DPDK 1.60r1.

I am trying to bring up DPDK inside Fedora18 Guest on ESXi -- when I used DPDK1.6.0r1 (without debug options turned on for vmxnet3 pmd) the igb_uio could take over the vmxnet3 NIC but I encountered a core dump in the dev init function for the vmxnet3 driver -- anybody encountered a similar issue ? I encountered these problems as well. - igb_uio module does not check if you disable vmxnet3-uio pmds, it will always try to take over vmxnet3 devices. I have a patch waiting in my working dir to cleanly disable vmxnet3-uio pmd. - If you don't bind vmxnet3 devices to uio, but forget to enable vmxnet3-usermap pmd (by specifiying -d librte_pmd_vmxnet3.so), then internal vmxnet3-uio pmd will try to initialise and crash. I did not look any deeper into this, the easiest way is to disable vmxnet3-uio pmd + apply the patch I will send in a few minutes, as a first workaround.

[dpdk-dev] Which vmxnet3 pmd is to be used in dpdk 1.6.x?
Hi, I am also keen to know the answer to the question posted by Srini. The real question is -- is dpdk1.6.0r1 self-sufficient so that I don't need any extensions etc., or do I still need something from outside like the usermap kernel driver etc. Secondly, if I turn on all the debug options for the vmxnet3 pmd in the config file, 1.6.0r1 compilation runs into a problem and reports a function which is defined but not used.

I want to try dpdk with vmxnet3 in Vmware Esxi 5.1. I see that the latest dpdk 1.6.0r1 includes a vmxnet3 pmd. The vmxnet3-usermap-1.1.tar.gz as well includes a vmxnet3 pmd driver.

Hello, I would say the main advantage is the fact that vmxnet3-usermap does not require uio.
