[JS] now, returning to 1 mbps pipes situation, try reducing tc
period

first at subport and then at  pipe level, if that help in getting
even

traffic across low bandwidth pipes.

reducing subport tc from 10 to 5 period also solved the problem
with 1

Mbit/s pipes.

so, my second problem has been solved,

but the first one with some of low bandwidth pipes stop
transmitting still

remains.

I see, try removing "pkt_len <= pipe_tc_ov_credits" condition in
the

grinder_credits_check() code for oversubscription case, instead use

this pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits + pipe_tc_ov_credits;

if I do what you suggest, I will get this code

enough_credits = (pkt_len <= subport_tb_credits) &&

(pkt_len <= subport_tc_credits) &&

(pkt_len <= pipe_tb_credits) &&

(pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits) &&

(pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits + pipe_tc_ov_credits);

And this doesn't make sense since if condition pkt_len <=
pipe_tc_credits is true

then condition (pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits + pipe_tc_ov_credits) is
also always true.

[JS] my suggestion is to remove“pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits“,
“ pkt_len

<= pipe_tc_ov_credits”and use only “pkt_len <= pipe_tc_credits
+

pipe_tc_ov_credits“

While keeping tc_ov flag on.

Your suggestion just turns off TC_OV feature.

I don't see your point.

This new suggestion will also effectively turn off the TC_OV
feature since

the only effect of enabling TC_OV is adding additional condition

pkt_len <= pipe_tc_ov_credits

which doesn't allow a pipe to spend more resources than it should.

And in the case of support congestion a pipe should spent less
than %100 of pipe's maximum rate.

And you suggest to allow pipe to spend 100% of it's rate plus some
extra.

I guess effect of this would even more unfair support's bandwidth
distibution.

Btw, a pipe might stop transmitting even when there is no
congestion at a subport.

Although I didn’t try this solution but the idea here is - in a

particular round, of pkt_len is less than pipe_tc_credits( which is
a

constant value each time) but greater than pipe_tc_ov_credits, then
it

might hit the situation when no packet will be scheduled from the
pipe

even though there are fixed credits greater than packet size is

available.

But that is a perfectly normal situation and that's exactly the idea
behind TC_OV.
It means a pipe should wait for the next subport->tc_ov_period_id
when pipe_tc_ov_credits will be reset to a new value

But here it’s not guaranteed that new value of pipe_tc_ov_credits
will be sufficient for low bandwidth pipe to send their packets as
each time pipe_tc_ov_credits is freshly computed.

pipe->tc_ov_credits = subport->tc_ov_wm * params->tc_ov_weight;

which allows the pipe to continue transmitting.

No that won’t happen if new tc_ov_credits value is again less than
pkt_len and will hit deadlock.

new tc_ov_credits can't not be less than subport->tc_ov_wm_min,
and tc_ov_wm_min is equal to port->mtu.
all my scheduler ports configured with mtu 1522. etherdev ports also uses
the same mtu, therefore there should be no packets bigger that 1522.

also, tc_ov_credits is set to tc_ov_wm_min only in the case of constant
congestion and today I detected the problem when there was no congestion.
so, it's highly unlikely that tc_ov_credits is always set to a value
less than pkt_size. The only scenario in which this might be the case is
when scheduler port get a corrupted mbuf with incorrect pkt len
which cause a queue deadlock.


Maybe I should increase port's MTU? to 1540?


And it could not cause a permanent pipe stop which is what I am
facing.

In fairness, pipe should send the as much as packets which

consumes pipe_tc_credits, regardless of extra pipe_tc_ov_credits
which

is extra on top of pipe_tc_credits.

I think it's quite the opposite. That's why after I reduced the
support tc_period
I got much more fairness. Since reducing subport tc_period also
reduce the tc_ov_wm_max value.
s->tc_ov_wm_max = rte_sched_time_ms_to_bytes(params->tc_period,
port->pipe_tc3_rate_max)
as a result a pipe transmits less bytes in one round. so pipe
rotation inside a grinder
happens much more often and a pipe can't monopolise resources.

in other sos implementation this is called "quantum".

Yes, so reducing tc period makes the case when all pipes ( high n low
bandwidth) gets lower values of  tc_ov_credits  values which allow
lesser transmission from higher bw pipes and leave bandwidth for low
bw pipes. So, here is the thing- Either tune tc period to a value
which prevent high bw pipe hogging most of bw or makes changes in the
code, where oversubscription add extra credits on top of guaranteed.

One question, don’t your low bw pipes have higher priority traffic
tc0, tc1, tc2 . Packets from those tc must be going out. Isn’t this
the case ?

well, it would be the case after I find out
what's going on. Right now I am using a tos2tc map configured
in such a way that all ipv4 packets with any TOS values
goes into TC3.

... despite that there is _NO_ congestion...

congestion at the subport or pipe.

And the subport !! doesn't use about 42 mbit/s of available

bandwidth.

The only difference is those test configurations is TC of

generated traffic.

Test 1 uses TC 1 while test 2 uses TC 3 (which is use TC_OV

function).

So, enabling TC_OV changes the results dramatically.

Some subport bandwith (about 42) is not being used!
