ethdev: introduce flow engine configuration The flow rules creation/destruction at a large scale incurs a performance penalty and may negatively impact the packet processing when used as part of the datapath logic. This is mainly because software/hardware resources are allocated and prepared during the flow rule creation. In order to optimize the insertion rate, PMD may use some hints provided by the application at the initialization phase. The rte_flow_configure() function allows to pre-allocate all the needed resources beforehand. These resources can be used at a later stage without costly allocations. Every PMD may use only the subset of hints and ignore unused ones or fail in case the requested configuration is not supported. The rte_flow_info_get() is available to retrieve the information about supported pre-configurable resources. Both these functions must be called before any other usage of the flow API engine.

* **Added functions to configure flow engine.**
* Added ``rte_flow_configure`` API to configure flow management
engine, allowing to pre-allocate some resources for better performance.
Added ``rte_flow_info_get`` API to retrieve available resources.
ethdev: add flow item/action templates Treating every single flow rule as a completely independent and separate entity negatively impacts the flow rules insertion rate. Oftentimes in an application, many flow rules share a common structure (the same item mask and/or action list) so they can be grouped and classified together. This knowledge may be used as a source of optimization by a PMD/HW. The pattern template defines common matching fields (the item mask) without values. The actions template holds a list of action types that will be used together in the same rule. The specific values for items and actions will be given only during the rule creation. A table combines pattern and actions templates along with shared flow rule attributes (group ID, priority and traffic direction). This way a PMD/HW can prepare all the resources needed for efficient flow rules creation in the datapath. To avoid any hiccups due to memory reallocation, the maximum number of flow rules is defined at the table creation time. The flow rule creation is done by selecting a table, a pattern template and an actions template (which are bound to the table), and setting unique values for the items and actions.

2022-02-23 03:02:31 +00:00
* Added ``rte_flow_template_table_create`` API to group flow rules
with the same flow attributes and common matching patterns and actions
defined by ``rte_flow_pattern_template_create`` and
``rte_flow_actions_template_create`` respectively.
Corresponding functions to destroy these entities are:
``rte_flow_template_table_destroy``, ``rte_flow_pattern_template_destroy``
and ``rte_flow_actions_template_destroy``.
ethdev: bring in async queue-based flow rules operations A new, faster, queue-based flow rules management mechanism is needed for applications offloading rules inside the datapath. This asynchronous and lockless mechanism frees the CPU for further packet processing and reduces the performance impact of the flow rules creation/destruction on the datapath. Note that queues are not thread-safe and the queue should be accessed from the same thread for all queue operations. It is the responsibility of the app to sync the queue functions in case of multi-threaded access to the same queue. The rte_flow_async_create() function enqueues a flow creation to the requested queue. It benefits from already configured resources and sets unique values on top of item and action templates. A flow rule is enqueued on the specified flow queue and offloaded asynchronously to the hardware. The function returns immediately to spare CPU for further packet processing. The application must invoke the rte_flow_pull() function to complete the flow rule operation offloading, to clear the queue, and to receive the operation status. The rte_flow_async_destroy() function enqueues a flow destruction to the requested queue.

``rte_flow_pull`` to poll and retrieve results of these operations and
``rte_flow_push`` to push all the in-flight operations to the NIC.
ethdev: bring in async indirect actions operations Queue-based flow rules management mechanism is suitable not only for flow rules creation/destruction, but also for speeding up other types of Flow API management. Indirect action object operations may be executed asynchronously as well. Provide async versions for all indirect action operations, namely: rte_flow_async_action_handle_create, rte_flow_async_action_handle_destroy and rte_flow_async_action_handle_update.

* **Added new RSS offload types for L2TPv2 in RSS flow.**
Added macro RTE_ETH_RSS_L2TPV2, now L2TPv2 session ID field can be used as
input set for RSS.
ethdev: introduce IP reassembly offload IP Reassembly is a costly operation if it is done in software. The operation becomes even more costlier if IP fragments are encrypted. However, if it is offloaded to HW, it can considerably save application cycles. Hence, a new offload feature is exposed in eth_dev ops for devices which can attempt IP reassembly of packets in hardware. - rte_eth_ip_reassembly_capability_get() - to get the maximum values of reassembly configuration which can be set. - rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_set() - to set IP reassembly configuration and to enable the feature in the PMD (to be called before rte_eth_dev_start()). - rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_get() - to get the current configuration set in PMD. Now when the offload is enabled using rte_eth_ip_reassembly_conf_set(), the resulting reassembled IP packet would be a typical segmented mbuf in case of success. And if reassembly of IP fragments is failed or is incomplete (if fragments do not come before the reass_timeout, overlap, etc), the mbuf dynamic flags can be updated by the PMD. This is updated in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Akhil Goyal <gakhil@marvell.com>
2022-02-08 22:20:25 +00:00
* **Added IP reassembly Ethernet offload API, to get and set config.**
Added IP reassembly offload APIs which provide functions to query IP
reassembly capabilities, to set configuration and to get currently set
reassembly configuration.
ethdev: support queue-based priority flow control Based on device support and use-case need, there are two different ways to enable PFC. The first case is the port level PFC configuration, in this case, rte_eth_dev_priority_flow_ctrl_set() API shall be used to configure the PFC, and PFC frames will be generated using based on VLAN TC value. The second case is the queue level PFC configuration, in this case, Any packet field content can be used to steer the packet to the specific queue using rte_flow or RSS and then use rte_eth_dev_priority_flow_ctrl_queue_configure() to configure the TC mapping on each queue. Based on congestion selected on the specific queue, configured TC shall be used to generate PFC frames.

net/af_xdp: use libxdp if available AF_XDP support is deprecated in libbpf since v0.7.0 [1]. The libxdp library now provides the functionality which once was in libbpf and which the AF_XDP PMD relies on. This commit updates the AF_XDP meson build to use the libxdp library if a version >= v1.2.2 is available. If it is not available, only versions of libbpf prior to v0.7.0 are allowed, as they still contain the required AF_XDP functionality. libbpf still remains a dependency even if libxdp is present, as we use libbpf APIs for program loading. The minimum required kernel version for libxdp for use with AF_XDP is v5.3. For the library to be fully-featured, a kernel v5.10 or newer is recommended. The full compatibility information can be found in the libxdp README. v1.2.2 of libxdp includes an important fix required for linking with DPDK which is why this version or greater is required. Meson uses pkg-config to verify the version of libxdp on the system, so it is necessary that the library is discoverable using pkg-config in order for the PMD to use it. To verify this, you can run: pkg-config --modversion libxdp [1] https://github.com/libbpf/libbpf/commit/277846bc6c15 Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>

net/ena: make link status change interrupt configurable ENA uses AENQ for notification about various events, like LSC, keep alive etc. By default it was enabling all AENQ that were supported by both the driver and the device. As a result the LSC was always processed even if the application turned it off explicitly. As the DPDK provides application with the possibility to configure the LSC, ENA should respect that. AENQ groups are now being updated upon configure step, thus LSC can be activated or disabled between ENA PMD reconfigurations. Moreover, the LSC capability for the device is being determined dynamically.

net/ena/base: use optimized memcpy version also on Arm As the default behavior for arm64 is to alias rte_memcpy as memcpy, ENA cannot redefine memcpy as rte_memcpy as it would cause nested declaration. To make it possible to use optimized memcpy in the ena_com layer on Arm, the driver now redefines memcpy when it is beneficial: * For arm64 only when the flag RTE_ARCH_ARM64_MEMCPY was defined * For arm only when the flag RTE_ARCH_ARM_NEON_MEMCPY was defined Signed-off-by: Michal Krawczyk <mk@semihalf.com> Reviewed-by: Dawid Gorecki <dgr@semihalf.com> Reviewed-by: Shai Brandes <shaibran@amazon.com>

net/ena: proxy AQ calls to primary process Due to how the ena_com compatibility layer is written, all AQ commands triggering functions use stack to save results of AQ and then copy them to user given function. Therefore to keep the compatibility layer common, introduce ENA_PROXY macro. It either calls the wrapped function directly (in primary process) or proxies it to the primary via DPDK IPC mechanism. Since all proxied calls are taken under a lock share the result data through shared memory (in struct ena_adapter) to work around 256B IPC parameter size limit. New proxy calls can be added by 1. Adding a new message type at the end of enum ena_mp_req 2. Adding new message arguments to the struct ena_mp_body if needed 3. Defining proxy request descriptor with ENA_PROXY_DESC. Its arguments include handlers for request preparation and response processing. Any of those may be empty (aside of marking arguments as used). 4. Adding request handling logic to ena_mp_primary_handle() 5. Replacing proxied function calls with ENA_PROXY(adapter, <func>, ...)

* **Updated Mellanox mlx5 driver.**
* Supported ConnectX-7 capability to schedule traffic sending on timestamp.
net/mlx5: add basic flow queue operation The HW steering uses async queue-based flow rules management mechanism. The matcher and part of the actions have been prepared during flow table creation. Some remaining actions will be constructed during flow creation if needed. A flow postpone attribute bit describes if flow management should be applied to the HW directly. An extra push function is provided to force push all the cached flows to the HW. Once the flow has been applied to the HW, the pull function will be called to get the queued creation/destruction flows. The DR rule flow memory is represented in PMD layer instead of allocating from HW steering layer. While destroying the flow, the flow rule memory can only be freed after the CQE received. The HW queue job descriptor is currently introduced to convey the flow information and operation type between the flow insertion/destruction in the pull function. This commit adds the basic flow queue operation for: rte_flow_async_create(); rte_flow_async_destroy(); rte_flow_push(); rte_flow_pull(); Signed-off-by: Suanming Mou <suanmingm@nvidia.com> Acked-by: Viacheslav Ovsiienko <viacheslavo@nvidia.com>
