Public bug reported:
* Explain the feature
Assured connections are those connections which deemed of "higher quality" and
less
like to expire than non-assured connections, as they passed some stricter rule
(e.g
in udp reply + connection lasting more than 2 seconds). This feature
offloads only those connections.
* How to test
Create OVS bridge with 2 devices mlx5 rep devices.
Enable HW offload and configure regular connection tracking OpenFlow rules:
e.g:
ovs-ofctl del-flows br-ovs
ovs-ofctl add-flow br-ovs arp,actions=normal
ovs-ofctl add-flow br-ovs "table=0, ip,ct_state=-trk actions=ct(table=1)"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br-ovs "table=1, ip,ct_state=+trk+new
actions=ct(commit),normal"
ovs-ofctl add-flow br-ovs "table=1, ip,ct_state=+trk+est, actions=normal"
Run a short UDP connection (< 2 seconds), e.g:
on mlx5 VF1 iperf -s -u
on mlx5 VF2 iperf -c <ip> -t 1 -u
Run longer UDP connection (> 2 seconds), e.g:
on mlx5 VF1 iperf -s -u
on mlx5 VF2 iperf -c <ip> -t 10 -u
With the above commit quick lived UDP connections (< 2 seconds) will not be
offloaded to the flow table
as can be checked by
cat /proc/net/nf_conntrack | grep -i offload
while connections lasting more than 2 seconds (and of course double sided) will
be offloaded.
* What it could break.
