Xueming Li 5984037501 app/testpmd: add forwarding engine for shared Rx queue 
To support shared Rx queue, this patch introduces dedicate forwarding
engine. The engine groups received packets by mbuf->port into sub-group,
updates stream statistics and simply frees packets.

Testpmd Runtime Functions
=========================
Where the testpmd application is started in interactive mode, (``-i|--interactive``),
it displays a prompt that can be used to start and stop forwarding,
configure the application, display statistics (including the extended NIC
statistics aka xstats) , set the Flow Director and other tasks::
testpmd>
The testpmd prompt has some, limited, readline support.
Common bash command-line functions such as ``Ctrl+a`` and ``Ctrl+e`` to go to the start and end of the prompt line are supported
as well as access to the command history via the up-arrow.
There is also support for tab completion.
If you type a partial command and hit ``<TAB>`` you get a list of the available completions:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> show port <TAB>
info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
info [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap X
stats [Mul-choice STRING]: show|clear port info|stats|xstats|fdir|dcb_tc|cap all
...
.. note::
Some examples in this document are too long to fit on one line are shown wrapped at `"\\"` for display purposes::
testpmd> set flow_ctrl rx (on|off) tx (on|off) (high_water) (low_water) \
(pause_time) (send_xon) (port_id)
In the real ``testpmd>`` prompt these commands should be on a single line.
Help Functions
--------------
The testpmd has on-line help for the functions that are available at runtime.
These are divided into sections and can be accessed using help, help section or help all:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> help
help control : Start and stop forwarding.
help display : Displaying port, stats and config information.
help config : Configuration information.
help ports : Configuring ports.
help registers : Reading and setting port registers.
help filters : Filters configuration help.
help all : All of the above sections.
Command File Functions
----------------------
To facilitate loading large number of commands or to avoid cutting and pasting where not
practical or possible testpmd supports alternative methods for executing commands.
* If started with the ``--cmdline-file=FILENAME`` command line argument testpmd
will execute all CLI commands contained within the file immediately before
starting packet forwarding or entering interactive mode.
.. code-block:: console
./dpdk-testpmd -n4 -r2 ... -- -i --cmdline-file=/home/ubuntu/flow-create-commands.txt

set fwd
~~~~~~~
Set the packet forwarding mode::
testpmd> set fwd (io|mac|macswap|flowgen| \
rxonly|txonly|csum|icmpecho|noisy|5tswap|shared-rxq) (""|retry)
``retry`` can be specified for forwarding engines except ``rx_only``.
The available information categories are:
* ``io``: Forwards packets "as-is" in I/O mode.
This is the fastest possible forwarding operation as it does not access packets data.
This is the default mode.
* ``mac``: Changes the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
Default application behavior is to set source Ethernet address to that of the transmitting interface, and destination
address to a dummy value (set during init). The user may specify a target destination Ethernet address via the 'eth-peer' or
'eth-peers-configfile' command-line options. It is not currently possible to specify a specific source Ethernet address.
* ``macswap``: MAC swap forwarding mode.
Swaps the source and the destination Ethernet addresses of packets before forwarding them.
* ``flowgen``: Multi-flow generation mode.
Originates a number of flows (with varying destination IP addresses), and terminate receive traffic.
* ``rxonly``: Receives packets but doesn't transmit them.
* ``txonly``: Generates and transmits packets without receiving any.
* ``csum``: Changes the checksum field with hardware or software methods depending on the offload flags on the packet.
* ``icmpecho``: Receives a burst of packets, lookup for ICMP echo requests and, if any, send back ICMP echo replies.
* ``ieee1588``: Demonstrate L2 IEEE1588 V2 PTP timestamping for RX and TX.
* ``noisy``: Noisy neighbor simulation.
Simulate more realistic behavior of a guest machine engaged in receiving
and sending packets performing Virtual Network Function (VNF).
* ``5tswap``: Swap the source and destination of L2,L3,L4 if they exist.
L2 swaps the source address and destination address of Ethernet, as same as ``macswap``.
L3 swaps the source address and destination address of IP (v4 and v6).
L4 swaps the source port and destination port of transport layer (TCP and UDP).
* ``shared-rxq``: Receive only for shared Rx queue.
Resolve packet source port from mbuf and update stream statistics accordingly.
Example::
testpmd> set fwd rxonly
Set rxonly packet forwarding mode
show fwd
~~~~~~~~
When running, forwarding engines maintain statistics from the time they have been started.
Example for the io forwarding engine, with some packet drops on the tx side::
testpmd> show fwd stats all

Configuration Functions
-----------------------
The testpmd application can be configured from the runtime as well as from the command-line.
This section details the available configuration functions that are available.
.. note::
Configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
set default
~~~~~~~~~~~
Reset forwarding to the default configuration::
testpmd> set default
set verbose
~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the debug verbosity level::
testpmd> set verbose (level)
Available levels are as following:
* ``0`` silent except for error.
* ``1`` fully verbose except for Tx packets.
* ``2`` fully verbose except for Rx packets.
* ``> 2`` fully verbose.
set log
~~~~~~~
Set the log level for a log type::
testpmd> set log global|(type) (level)
Where:
* ``type`` is the log name.
* ``level`` is the log level.
For example, to change the global log level::
testpmd> set log global (level)
Regexes can also be used for type. To change log level of user1, user2 and user3::
testpmd> set log user[1-3] (level)
set nbport
~~~~~~~~~~
Set the number of ports used by the application:
set nbport (num)
This is equivalent to the ``--nb-ports`` command-line option.
set nbcore
~~~~~~~~~~
Set the number of cores used by the application::
testpmd> set nbcore (num)
This is equivalent to the ``--nb-cores`` command-line option.
.. note::
The number of cores used must not be greater than number of ports used multiplied by the number of queues per port.
set coremask
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the forwarding cores hexadecimal mask::
testpmd> set coremask (mask)
This is equivalent to the ``--coremask`` command-line option.
.. note::
The main lcore is reserved for command line parsing only and cannot be masked on for packet forwarding.
set portmask
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the forwarding ports hexadecimal mask::
testpmd> set portmask (mask)
This is equivalent to the ``--portmask`` command-line option.
set record-core-cycles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the recording of CPU cycles::
testpmd> set record-core-cycles (on|off)
Where:
* ``on`` enables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
* ``off`` disables measurement of CPU cycles per packet.
This is equivalent to the ``--record-core-cycles command-line`` option.
set record-burst-stats
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the displaying of RX and TX bursts::
testpmd> set record-burst-stats (on|off)
Where:
* ``on`` enables display of RX and TX bursts.
* ``off`` disables display of RX and TX bursts.
This is equivalent to the ``--record-burst-stats command-line`` option.
set burst
~~~~~~~~~
Set number of packets per burst::
testpmd> set burst (num)
This is equivalent to the ``--burst command-line`` option.
When retry is enabled, the transmit delay time and number of retries can also be set::
testpmd> set burst tx delay (microseconds) retry (num)
set rxoffs
~~~~~~~~~~
Set the offsets of segments relating to the data buffer beginning on receiving
if split feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split
offloads (currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only).
testpmd> set rxoffs (x[,y]*)
Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. If the list
of offsets is shorter than the list of segments the zero offsets will be used
for the remaining segments.
set rxpkts
~~~~~~~~~~
Set the length of segments to scatter packets on receiving if split
feature is engaged. Affects only the queues configured with split offloads
(currently BUFFER_SPLIT is supported only). Optionally the multiple memory
pools can be specified with --mbuf-size command line parameter and the mbufs
to receive will be allocated sequentially from these extra memory pools (the
mbuf for the first segment is allocated from the first pool, the second one
from the second pool, and so on, if segment number is greater then pool's the
mbuf for remaining segments will be allocated from the last valid pool).
testpmd> set rxpkts (x[,y]*)
Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space. Zero value
means to use the corresponding memory pool data buffer size.
set txpkts
~~~~~~~~~~
Set the length of each segment of the TX-ONLY packets or length of packet for FLOWGEN mode::
testpmd> set txpkts (x[,y]*)
Where x[,y]* represents a CSV list of values, without white space.
set txtimes
~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure the timing burst pattern for Tx only mode. This command enables
the packet send scheduling on dynamic timestamp mbuf field and configures
timing pattern in Tx only mode. In this mode, if scheduling is enabled
application provides timestamps in the packets being sent. It is possible
to configure delay (in unspecified device clock units) between bursts
and between the packets within the burst::
testpmd> set txtimes (inter),(intra)
where:
* ``inter`` is the delay between the bursts in the device clock units.
If ``intra`` is zero, this is the time between the beginnings of the
first packets in the neighbour bursts, if ``intra`` is not zero,
``inter`` specifies the time between the beginning of the first packet
of the current burst and the beginning of the last packet of the
previous burst. If ``inter`` parameter is zero the send scheduling
on timestamps is disabled (default).
* ``intra`` is the delay between the packets within the burst specified
in the device clock units. The number of packets in the burst is defined
by regular burst setting. If ``intra`` parameter is zero no timestamps
provided in the packets excepting the first one in the burst.
As the result the bursts of packet will be transmitted with specific
delays between the packets within the burst and specific delay between
the bursts. The rte_eth_read_clock() must be supported by the device(s)
and is supposed to be engaged to get the current device clock value
and provide the reference for the timestamps. If there is no supported
rte_eth_read_clock() there will be no send scheduling provided on the port.
set txsplit
~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the split policy for the TX packets, applicable for TX-ONLY and CSUM forwarding modes::
testpmd> set txsplit (off|on|rand)
Where:
* ``off`` disable packet copy & split for CSUM mode.
* ``on`` split outgoing packet into multiple segments. Size of each segment
and number of segments per packet is determined by ``set txpkts`` command
(see above).
* ``rand`` same as 'on', but number of segments per each packet is a random value between 1 and total number of segments.
set corelist
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the list of forwarding cores::
testpmd> set corelist (x[,y]*)
For example, to change the forwarding cores:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> set corelist 3,1
testpmd> show config fwd
io packet forwarding - ports=2 - cores=2 - streams=2 - NUMA support disabled
Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
Logical Core 1 (socket 0) forwards packets on 1 streams:
RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
.. note::
The cores are used in the same order as specified on the command line.
set portlist
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the list of forwarding ports::
testpmd> set portlist (x[,y]*)
For example, to change the port forwarding:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> set portlist 0,2,1,3
testpmd> show config fwd
io packet forwarding - ports=4 - cores=1 - streams=4
Logical Core 3 (socket 0) forwards packets on 4 streams:
RX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:01
RX P=2/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=0/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:00
RX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:03
RX P=3/Q=0 (socket 0) -> TX P=1/Q=0 (socket 0) peer=02:00:00:00:00:02

* ``outer-ip`` relates to the outer IP layer (only for IPv4) in the case where the packet is recognized
as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gre, gtp, ipip, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.
* ``outer-udp`` relates to the outer UDP layer in the case where the packet is recognized
as a tunnel packet by the forwarding engine (geneve, gtp, vxlan and vxlan-gpe are
supported). See also the ``csum parse-tunnel`` command.

testpmd> set port (port_id) queue-region flush (on|off)
where:
* ``on``: is just an enable function which server for other configuration,
it is for all configuration about queue region from up layer,
at first will only keep in DPDK software stored in driver,
only after "flush on", it commit all configuration to HW.
* ``"off``: is just clean all configuration about queue region just now,
and restore all to DPDK i40e driver default config when start up.
Show all queue region related configuration info on a port::
testpmd> show port (port_id) queue-region
.. note::
Queue region only support on PF by now, so these command is
only for configuration of queue region on PF port.
csum parse-tunnel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Define how tunneled packets should be handled by the csum forward
engine::
testpmd> csum parse-tunnel (on|off) (tx_port_id)
If enabled, the csum forward engine will try to recognize supported
tunnel headers (geneve, gtp, gre, ipip, vxlan, vxlan-gpe).
If disabled, treat tunnel packets as non-tunneled packets (a inner
header is handled as a packet payload).
.. note::
The port argument is the TX port like in the ``csum set`` command.
Example:
Consider a packet in packet like the following::
eth_out/ipv4_out/udp_out/vxlan/eth_in/ipv4_in/tcp_in
* If parse-tunnel is enabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
command relate to the inner headers (here ``ipv4_in`` and ``tcp_in``), and the
``outer-ip|outer-udp`` parameter relates to the outer headers (here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``).
* If parse-tunnel is disabled, the ``ip|udp|tcp|sctp`` parameters of ``csum set``
command relate to the outer headers, here ``ipv4_out`` and ``udp_out``.
csum show
~~~~~~~~~
Display tx checksum offload configuration::
testpmd> csum show (port_id)
tso set
~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Display the status of tunneled TCP Segmentation Offload for a port::
testpmd> tunnel_tso show (port_id)
set port - gro
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enable or disable GRO in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
testpmd> set port <port_id> gro on|off
If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GRO on the TCP/IPv4
packets received from the given port.
If disabled, packets received from the given port won't be performed
GRO. By default, GRO is disabled for all ports.
.. note::
When enable GRO for a port, TCP/IPv4 packets received from the port
will be performed GRO. After GRO, all merged packets have bad
checksums, since the GRO library doesn't re-calculate checksums for
the merged packets. Therefore, if users want the merged packets to
have correct checksums, please select HW IP checksum calculation and
HW TCP checksum calculation for the port which the merged packets are
transmitted to.
show port - gro
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Display GRO configuration for a given port::
testpmd> show port <port_id> gro
set gro flush
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set the cycle to flush the GROed packets from reassembly tables::
testpmd> set gro flush <cycles>
When enable GRO, the csum forwarding engine performs GRO on received
packets, and the GROed packets are stored in reassembly tables. Users
can use this command to determine when the GROed packets are flushed
from the reassembly tables.
The ``cycles`` is measured in GRO operation times. The csum forwarding
engine flushes the GROed packets from the tables every ``cycles`` GRO
operations.
By default, the value of ``cycles`` is 1, which means flush GROed packets
from the reassembly tables as soon as one GRO operation finishes. The value
of ``cycles`` should be in the range of 1 to ``GRO_MAX_FLUSH_CYCLES``.
Please note that the large value of ``cycles`` may cause the poor TCP/IP
stack performance. Because the GROed packets are delayed to arrive the
stack, thus causing more duplicated ACKs and TCP retransmissions.
set port - gso
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toggle per-port GSO support in ``csum`` forwarding engine::
testpmd> set port <port_id> gso on|off
If enabled, the csum forwarding engine will perform GSO on supported IPv4
packets, transmitted on the given port.
If disabled, packets transmitted on the given port will not undergo GSO.
By default, GSO is disabled for all ports.
.. note::
When GSO is enabled on a port, supported IPv4 packets transmitted on that
port undergo GSO. Afterwards, the segmented packets are represented by
multi-segment mbufs; however, the csum forwarding engine doesn't calculation
of checksums for GSO'd segments in SW. As a result, if users want correct
checksums in GSO segments, they should enable HW checksum calculation for
GSO-enabled ports.
For example, HW checksum calculation for VxLAN GSO'd packets may be enabled
by setting the following options in the csum forwarding engine:
testpmd> csum set outer_ip hw <port_id>
testpmd> csum set ip hw <port_id>
testpmd> csum set tcp hw <port_id>
UDP GSO is the same as IP fragmentation, which treats the UDP header
as the payload and does not modify it during segmentation. That is,
after UDP GSO, only the first output fragment has the original UDP
header. Therefore, users need to enable HW IP checksum calculation
and SW UDP checksum calculation for GSO-enabled ports, if they want
correct checksums for UDP/IPv4 packets.

set mplsoudp_encap-with-vlan ip-version (ipv4|ipv6) label (label) \
udp-src (udp-src) udp-dst (udp-dst) ip-src (ip-src) ip-dst (ip-dst) \
vlan-tci (vlan-tci) eth-src (eth-src) eth-dst (eth-dst)
These commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following
flow rule using the action mplsoudp_encap will use the last configuration set.
To have a different encapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
before the flow rule creation.
Config MPLSoUDP Decap outer layers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure the outer layer to decapsulate MPLSoUDP packet::
set mplsoudp_decap ip-version (ipv4|ipv6)
set mplsoudp_decap-with-vlan ip-version (ipv4|ipv6)
These commands will set an internal configuration inside testpmd, any following
flow rule using the action mplsoudp_decap will use the last configuration set.
To have a different decapsulation header, one of those commands must be called
before the flow rule creation.
Config Raw Encapsulation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure the raw data to be used when encapsulating a packet by
rte_flow_action_raw_encap::
set raw_encap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_encap``, this command will set one
internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
set raw_encap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
the default index ``0`` is used.
In order to use different encapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
during the flow rule creation::
testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
raw_encap index 2 / end
Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.
Config Raw Decapsulation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure the raw data to be used when decapsulating a packet by
rte_flow_action_raw_decap::
set raw_decap {index} {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
There are multiple global buffers for ``raw_decap``, this command will set
one internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
If there is no ``{index}`` specified::
set raw_decap {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end_set
the default index ``0`` is used.
In order to use different decapsulating header, ``index`` must be specified
during the flow rule creation::
testpmd> flow create 0 egress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
raw_encap index 3 / end
Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.
Set fec mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set fec mode for a specific port::
testpmd> set port (port_id) fec_mode auto|off|rs|baser
Config Sample actions list
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure the sample actions list to be used when sampling a packet by
rte_flow_action_sample::
set sample_actions {index} {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
There are multiple global buffers for ``sample_actions``, this command will set
one internal buffer index by ``{index}``.
In order to use different sample actions list, ``index`` must be specified
during the flow rule creation::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end actions
sample ratio 2 index 2 / end
Otherwise the default index ``0`` is used.
Port Functions
--------------
The following sections show functions for configuring ports.
.. note::
Port configuration changes only become active when forwarding is started/restarted.
port attach
~~~~~~~~~~~
Attach a port specified by pci address or virtual device args::
testpmd> port attach (identifier)
To attach a new pci device, the device should be recognized by kernel first.
Then it should be moved under DPDK management.
Finally the port can be attached to testpmd.
For example, to move a pci device using ixgbe under DPDK management:
.. code-block:: console
# Check the status of the available devices.
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
<none>
Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=
# Bind the device to igb_uio.
sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 0000:0a:00.0
# Recheck the status of the devices.
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' drv=igb_uio unused=
To attach a port created by virtual device, above steps are not needed.
For example, to attach a port whose pci address is 0000:0a:00.0.
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port attach 0000:0a:00.0
Attaching a new port...
EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
EAL: probe driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
EAL: PCI memory mapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): MAC: 2, PHY: 18, SFP+: 5
PMD: eth_ixgbe_dev_init(): port 0 vendorID=0x8086 deviceID=0x10fb
Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
Done
For example, to attach a port created by pcap PMD.
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port attach net_pcap0
Attaching a new port...
PMD: Initializing pmd_pcap for net_pcap0
PMD: Creating pcap-backed ethdev on numa socket 0
Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
Done
In this case, identifier is ``net_pcap0``.
This identifier format is the same as ``--vdev`` format of DPDK applications.
For example, to re-attach a bonded port which has been previously detached,
the mode and slave parameters must be given.
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port attach net_bond_0,mode=0,slave=1
Attaching a new port...
EAL: Initializing pmd_bond for net_bond_0
EAL: Create bonded device net_bond_0 on port 0 in mode 0 on socket 0.
Port 0 is attached. Now total ports is 1
Done
port detach
~~~~~~~~~~~
Detach a specific port::
testpmd> port detach (port_id)
Before detaching a port, the port should be stopped and closed.
For example, to detach a pci device port 0.
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port stop 0
Stopping ports...
Done
testpmd> port close 0
Closing ports...
Done
testpmd> port detach 0
Detaching a port...
EAL: PCI device 0000:0a:00.0 on NUMA socket -1
EAL: remove driver: 8086:10fb rte_ixgbe_pmd
EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa00000
EAL: PCI memory unmapped at 0x7f83bfa80000
Done
For example, to detach a virtual device port 0.
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> port stop 0
Stopping ports...
Done
testpmd> port close 0
Closing ports...
Done
testpmd> port detach 0
Detaching a port...
PMD: Closing pcap ethdev on numa socket 0
Port 'net_pcap0' is detached. Now total ports is 0
Done
To remove a pci device completely from the system, first detach the port from testpmd.
Then the device should be moved under kernel management.
Finally the device can be removed using kernel pci hotplug functionality.
For example, to move a pci device under kernel management:
.. code-block:: console
sudo ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b ixgbe 0000:0a:00.0
./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py --status
Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver
============================================
<none>
Network devices using kernel driver
===================================
0000:0a:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit' if=eth2 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio
To remove a port created by a virtual device, above steps are not needed.

Filter Functions
----------------
This section details the available filter functions that are available.
Note these functions interface the deprecated legacy filtering framework,
superseded by *rte_flow*. See `Flow rules management`_.
.. _testpmd_flow_director:
flow_director_mask
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Set flow director's input masks::
flow_director_mask (port_id) mode IP vlan (vlan_value) \
src_mask (ipv4_src) (ipv6_src) (src_port) \
dst_mask (ipv4_dst) (ipv6_dst) (dst_port)
flow_director_mask (port_id) mode MAC-VLAN vlan (vlan_value)
flow_director_mask (port_id) mode Tunnel vlan (vlan_value) \
mac (mac_value) tunnel-type (tunnel_type_value) \
tunnel-id (tunnel_id_value)
Example, to set flow director mask on port 0::
testpmd> flow_director_mask 0 mode IP vlan 0xefff \
src_mask 255.255.255.255 \
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF \
dst_mask 255.255.255.255 \
FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF:FFFF 0xFFFF
flow_director_flex_payload
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Configure flexible payload selection::
flow_director_flex_payload (port_id) (raw|l2|l3|l4) (config)
For example, to select the first 16 bytes from the offset 4 (bytes) of packet's payload as flexible payload::
testpmd> flow_director_flex_payload 0 l4 \
(4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)
.. _testpmd_rte_flow:
Flow rules management
---------------------
Control of the generic flow API (*rte_flow*) is fully exposed through the
``flow`` command (validation, creation, destruction, queries and operation
modes).
Considering *rte_flow* overlaps with all `Filter Functions`_, using both
features simultaneously may cause undefined side-effects and is therefore
not recommended.
``flow`` syntax
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Because the ``flow`` command uses dynamic tokens to handle the large number
of possible flow rules combinations, its behavior differs slightly from
other commands, in particular:
- Pressing *?* or the *<tab>* key displays contextual help for the current
token, not that of the entire command.
- Optional and repeated parameters are supported (provided they are listed
in the contextual help).
The first parameter stands for the operation mode. Possible operations and
their general syntax are described below. They are covered in detail in the
following sections.
- Check whether a flow rule can be created::
flow validate {port_id}
[group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
- Create a flow rule::
flow create {port_id}
[group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
- Destroy specific flow rules::
flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
- Destroy all flow rules::
flow flush {port_id}
- Query an existing flow rule::
flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
- List existing flow rules sorted by priority, filtered by group
identifiers::
flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
- Restrict ingress traffic to the defined flow rules::
flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
- Dump internal representation information of all flows in hardware::
flow dump {port_id} all {output_file}
for one flow::
flow dump {port_id} rule {rule_id} {output_file}
- List and destroy aged flow rules::
flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
- Tunnel offload - create a tunnel stub::
flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
- Tunnel offload - destroy a tunnel stub::
flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
- Tunnel offload - list port tunnel stubs::
flow tunnel list {port_id}
Creating a tunnel stub for offload
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow tunnel create`` setup a tunnel stub for tunnel offload flow rules::
flow tunnel create {port_id} type {tunnel_type}
If successful, it will return a tunnel stub ID usable with other commands::
port [...]: flow tunnel #[...] type [...]
Tunnel stub ID is relative to a port.
Destroying tunnel offload stub
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow tunnel destroy`` destroy port tunnel stub::
flow tunnel destroy {port_id} id {tunnel_id}
Listing tunnel offload stubs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow tunnel list`` list port tunnel offload stubs::
flow tunnel list {port_id}
Validating flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow validate`` reports whether a flow rule would be accepted by the
underlying device in its current state but stops short of creating it. It is
bound to ``rte_flow_validate()``::
flow validate {port_id}
[group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
If successful, it will show::
Flow rule validated
Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
This command uses the same parameters as ``flow create``, their format is
described in `Creating flow rules`_.
Check whether redirecting any Ethernet packet received on port 0 to RX queue
index 6 is supported::
testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / end
actions queue index 6 / end
Flow rule validated
testpmd>
Port 0 does not support TCPv6 rules::
testpmd> flow validate 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
actions drop / end
Caught error type 9 (specific pattern item): Invalid argument
testpmd>
Creating flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow create`` validates and creates the specified flow rule. It is bound
to ``rte_flow_create()``::
flow create {port_id}
[group {group_id}] [priority {level}] [ingress] [egress] [transfer]
[tunnel_set {tunnel_id}] [tunnel_match {tunnel_id}]
pattern {item} [/ {item} [...]] / end
actions {action} [/ {action} [...]] / end
If successful, it will return a flow rule ID usable with other commands::
Flow rule #[...] created
Otherwise it will show an error message of the form::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Parameters describe in the following order:
- Attributes (*group*, *priority*, *ingress*, *egress*, *transfer* tokens).
- Tunnel offload specification (tunnel_set, tunnel_match)
- A matching pattern, starting with the *pattern* token and terminated by an
*end* pattern item.
- Actions, starting with the *actions* token and terminated by an *end*
action.
These translate directly to *rte_flow* objects provided as-is to the
underlying functions.
The shortest valid definition only comprises mandatory tokens::
testpmd> flow create 0 pattern end actions end
Note that PMDs may refuse rules that essentially do nothing such as this
one.
**All unspecified object values are automatically initialized to 0.**
Attributes
^^^^^^^^^^
These tokens affect flow rule attributes (``struct rte_flow_attr``) and are
specified before the ``pattern`` token.
- ``group {group id}``: priority group.
- ``priority {level}``: priority level within group.
- ``ingress``: rule applies to ingress traffic.
- ``egress``: rule applies to egress traffic.
- ``transfer``: apply rule directly to endpoints found in pattern.
Each instance of an attribute specified several times overrides the previous
value as shown below (group 4 is used)::
testpmd> flow create 0 group 42 group 24 group 4 [...]
Note that once enabled, ``ingress`` and ``egress`` cannot be disabled.
While not specifying a direction is an error, some rules may allow both
simultaneously.
Most rules affect RX therefore contain the ``ingress`` token::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern [...]
Tunnel offload
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Indicate tunnel offload rule type
- ``tunnel_set {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunnel offload decap_set type.
- ``tunnel_match {tunnel_id}``: mark rule as tunel offload match type.
Matching pattern
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A matching pattern starts after the ``pattern`` token. It is made of pattern
items and is terminated by a mandatory ``end`` item.
Items are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_* from ``enum
rte_flow_item_type``).
The ``/`` token is used as a separator between pattern items as shown
below::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end [...]
Note that protocol items like these must be stacked from lowest to highest
layer to make sense. For instance, the following rule is either invalid or
unlikely to match any packet::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / udp / ipv4 / end [...]
More information on these restrictions can be found in the *rte_flow*
documentation.
Several items support additional specification structures, for example
``ipv4`` allows specifying source and destination addresses as follows::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
dst is 10.2.0.0 / end [...]
This rule matches all IPv4 traffic with the specified properties.
In this example, ``src`` and ``dst`` are field names of the underlying
``struct rte_flow_item_ipv4`` object. All item properties can be specified
in a similar fashion.
The ``is`` token means that the subsequent value must be matched exactly,
and assigns ``spec`` and ``mask`` fields in ``struct rte_flow_item``
accordingly. Possible assignment tokens are:
- ``is``: match value perfectly (with full bit-mask).
- ``spec``: match value according to configured bit-mask.
- ``last``: specify upper bound to establish a range.
- ``mask``: specify bit-mask with relevant bits set to one.
- ``prefix``: generate bit-mask with <prefix-length> most-significant bits set to one.
These yield identical results::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1
::
ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src mask 255.255.255.255
::
ipv4 src spec 10.1.1.1 src prefix 32
::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.1.1.1 # range with a single value
::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 0 # 0 disables range
Inclusive ranges can be defined with ``last``::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 # 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.3.4
Note that ``mask`` affects both ``spec`` and ``last``::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src last 10.2.3.4 src mask 255.255.0.0
# matches 10.1.0.0 to 10.2.255.255
Properties can be modified multiple times::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src is 10.1.2.3 src is 10.2.3.4 # matches 10.2.3.4
::
ipv4 src is 10.1.1.1 src prefix 24 src prefix 16 # matches 10.1.0.0/16

Actions list
^^^^^^^^^^^^
A list of actions starts after the ``actions`` token in the same fashion as
`Matching pattern`_; actions are separated by ``/`` tokens and the list is
terminated by a mandatory ``end`` action.
Actions are named after their type (*RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_* from ``enum
rte_flow_action_type``).
Dropping all incoming UDPv4 packets can be expressed as follows::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
actions drop / end
Several actions have configurable properties which must be specified when
there is no valid default value. For example, ``queue`` requires a target
queue index.
This rule redirects incoming UDPv4 traffic to queue index 6::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
actions queue index 6 / end
While this one could be rejected by PMDs (unspecified queue index)::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
actions queue / end
As defined by *rte_flow*, the list is not ordered, all actions of a given
rule are performed simultaneously. These are equivalent::
queue index 6 / void / mark id 42 / end
::
void / mark id 42 / queue index 6 / end
All actions in a list should have different types, otherwise only the last
action of a given type is taken into account::
queue index 4 / queue index 5 / queue index 6 / end # will use queue 6
::
drop / drop / drop / end # drop is performed only once
::
mark id 42 / queue index 3 / mark id 24 / end # mark will be 24
Considering they are performed simultaneously, opposite and overlapping
actions can sometimes be combined when the end result is unambiguous::
drop / queue index 6 / end # drop has no effect
::
queue index 6 / rss queues 6 7 8 / end # queue has no effect
::
drop / passthru / end # drop has no effect
Note that PMDs may still refuse such combinations.

Destroying flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow destroy`` destroys one or more rules from their rule ID (as returned
by ``flow create``), this command calls ``rte_flow_destroy()`` as many
times as necessary::
flow destroy {port_id} rule {rule_id} [...]
If successful, it will show::
Flow rule #[...] destroyed
It does not report anything for rule IDs that do not exist. The usual error
message is shown when a rule cannot be destroyed::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
``flow flush`` destroys all rules on a device and does not take extra
arguments. It is bound to ``rte_flow_flush()``::
flow flush {port_id}
Any errors are reported as above.
Creating several rules and destroying them::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
actions queue index 2 / end
Flow rule #0 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
actions queue index 3 / end
Flow rule #1 created
testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0 rule 1
Flow rule #1 destroyed
Flow rule #0 destroyed
testpmd>
The same result can be achieved using ``flow flush``::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
actions queue index 2 / end
Flow rule #0 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
actions queue index 3 / end
Flow rule #1 created
testpmd> flow flush 0
testpmd>
Non-existent rule IDs are ignored::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
actions queue index 2 / end
Flow rule #0 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
actions queue index 3 / end
Flow rule #1 created
testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 42 rule 10 rule 2
testpmd>
testpmd> flow destroy 0 rule 0
Flow rule #0 destroyed
testpmd>
Querying flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow query`` queries a specific action of a flow rule having that
ability. Such actions collect information that can be reported using this
command. It is bound to ``rte_flow_query()``::
flow query {port_id} {rule_id} {action}
If successful, it will display either the retrieved data for known actions
or the following message::
Cannot display result for action type [...] ([...])
Otherwise, it will complain either that the rule does not exist or that some
error occurred::
Flow rule #[...] not found
::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Currently only the ``count`` action is supported. This action reports the
number of packets that hit the flow rule and the total number of bytes. Its
output has the following format::
count:
hits_set: [...] # whether "hits" contains a valid value
bytes_set: [...] # whether "bytes" contains a valid value
hits: [...] # number of packets
bytes: [...] # number of bytes
Querying counters for TCPv6 packets redirected to queue 6::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / tcp / end
actions queue index 6 / count / end
Flow rule #4 created
testpmd> flow query 0 4 count
count:
hits_set: 1
bytes_set: 0
hits: 386446
bytes: 0
testpmd>
Listing flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow list`` lists existing flow rules sorted by priority and optionally
filtered by group identifiers::
flow list {port_id} [group {group_id}] [...]
This command only fails with the following message if the device does not
exist::
Invalid port [...]
Output consists of a header line followed by a short description of each
flow rule, one per line. There is no output at all when no flow rules are
configured on the device::
ID Group Prio Attr Rule
[...] [...] [...] [...] [...]
``Attr`` column flags:
- ``i`` for ``ingress``.
- ``e`` for ``egress``.
Creating several flow rules and listing them::
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / end
actions queue index 6 / end
Flow rule #0 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv6 / end
actions queue index 2 / end
Flow rule #1 created
testpmd> flow create 0 priority 5 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / end
actions rss queues 6 7 8 end / end
Flow rule #2 created
testpmd> flow list 0
ID Group Prio Attr Rule
0 0 0 i- ETH IPV4 => QUEUE
1 0 0 i- ETH IPV6 => QUEUE
2 0 5 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => RSS
testpmd>
Rules are sorted by priority (i.e. group ID first, then priority level)::
testpmd> flow list 1
ID Group Prio Attr Rule
0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
1 24 0 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
4 24 10 i- ETH IPV4 TCP => DROP
3 24 20 i- ETH IPV4 => DROP
2 24 42 i- ETH IPV4 UDP => QUEUE
7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
testpmd>
Output can be limited to specific groups::
testpmd> flow list 1 group 0 group 63
ID Group Prio Attr Rule
0 0 0 i- ETH => COUNT
6 0 500 i- ETH IPV6 TCP => DROP COUNT
5 0 1000 i- ETH IPV6 ICMP => QUEUE
7 63 0 i- ETH IPV6 UDP VXLAN => MARK QUEUE
testpmd>
Toggling isolated mode
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow isolate`` can be used to tell the underlying PMD that ingress traffic
must only be injected from the defined flow rules; that no default traffic
is expected outside those rules and the driver is free to assign more
resources to handle them. It is bound to ``rte_flow_isolate()``::
flow isolate {port_id} {boolean}
If successful, enabling or disabling isolated mode shows either::
Ingress traffic on port [...]
is now restricted to the defined flow rules
Or::
Ingress traffic on port [...]
is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
Otherwise, in case of error::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Mainly due to its side effects, PMDs supporting this mode may not have the
ability to toggle it more than once without reinitializing affected ports
first (e.g. by exiting testpmd).
Enabling isolated mode::
testpmd> flow isolate 0 true
Ingress traffic on port 0 is now restricted to the defined flow rules
testpmd>
Disabling isolated mode::
testpmd> flow isolate 0 false
Ingress traffic on port 0 is not restricted anymore to the defined flow rules
testpmd>
Dumping HW internal information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow dump`` dumps the hardware's internal representation information of
all flows. It is bound to ``rte_flow_dev_dump()``::
flow dump {port_id} {output_file}
If successful, it will show::
Flow dump finished
Otherwise, it will complain error occurred::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Listing and destroying aged flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow aged`` simply lists aged flow rules be get from api ``rte_flow_get_aged_flows``,
and ``destroy`` parameter can be used to destroy those flow rules in PMD.
flow aged {port_id} [destroy]
Listing current aged flow rules::
testpmd> flow aged 0
Port 0 total aged flows: 0
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.14 / end
actions age timeout 5 / queue index 0 / end
Flow rule #0 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.15 / end
actions age timeout 4 / queue index 0 / end
Flow rule #1 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.16 / end
actions age timeout 2 / queue index 0 / end
Flow rule #2 created
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 2.2.2.17 / end
actions age timeout 3 / queue index 0 / end
Flow rule #3 created
Aged Rules are simply list as command ``flow list {port_id}``, but strip the detail rule
information, all the aged flows are sorted by the longest timeout time. For example, if
those rules be configured in the same time, ID 2 will be the first aged out rule, the next
will be ID 3, ID 1, ID 0::
testpmd> flow aged 0
Port 0 total aged flows: 4
ID Group Prio Attr
2 0 0 i--
3 0 0 i--
1 0 0 i--
0 0 0 i--
If attach ``destroy`` parameter, the command will destroy all the list aged flow rules.
testpmd> flow aged 0 destroy
Port 0 total aged flows: 4
ID Group Prio Attr
2 0 0 i--
3 0 0 i--
1 0 0 i--
0 0 0 i--
Flow rule #2 destroyed
Flow rule #3 destroyed
Flow rule #1 destroyed
Flow rule #0 destroyed
4 flows be destroyed
testpmd> flow aged 0
Port 0 total aged flows: 0
Creating indirect actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow indirect_action {port_id} create`` creates indirect action with optional
indirect action ID. It is bound to ``rte_flow_action_handle_create()``::
flow indirect_action {port_id} create [action_id {indirect_action_id}]
[ingress] [egress] [transfer] action {action} / end
If successful, it will show::
Indirect action #[...] created
Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action already exists or that
some error occurred::
Indirect action #[...] is already assigned, delete it first
::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Create indirect rss action with id 100 to queues 1 and 2 on port 0::
testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id 100 \
ingress action rss queues 1 2 end / end
Create indirect rss action with id assigned by testpmd to queues 1 and 2 on
port 0::
testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 create action_id \
ingress action rss queues 0 1 end / end
Updating indirect actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

action from its indirect action ID (as returned by
``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
``rte_flow_action_handle_update()``::
flow indirect_action {port_id} update {indirect_action_id}
action {action} / end
If successful, it will show::
Indirect action #[...] updated
Otherwise, it will complain either that indirect action not found or that some
error occurred::
Failed to find indirect action #[...] on port [...]
::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Update indirect rss action having id 100 on port 0 with rss to queues 0 and 3
(in create example above rss queues were 1 and 2)::
testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 update 100 action rss queues 0 3 end / end
Destroying indirect actions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
``flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy`` destroys one or more indirect actions
from their indirect action IDs (as returned by
``flow indirect_action {port_id} create``). It is bound to
``rte_flow_action_handle_destroy()``::
flow indirect_action {port_id} destroy action_id {indirect_action_id} [...]
If successful, it will show::
Indirect action #[...] destroyed
It does not report anything for indirect action IDs that do not exist.
The usual error message is shown when a indirect action cannot be destroyed::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Destroy indirect actions having id 100 & 101::
testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 destroy action_id 100 action_id 101

::
Caught error type [...] ([...]): [...]
Query indirect action having id 100::
testpmd> flow indirect_action 0 query 100
Sample QinQ flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To change the TPID's the following commands should be used::
testpmd> vlan set outer tpid 0x88A8 0
testpmd> vlan set inner tpid 0x8100 0
testpmd> port start 0
Validate and create a QinQ rule on port 0 to steer traffic to a VF queue in a VM.

BPF Functions
--------------
The following sections show functions to load/unload eBPF based filters.
bpf-load
~~~~~~~~
Load an eBPF program as a callback for particular RX/TX queue::
testpmd> bpf-load rx|tx (portid) (queueid) (load-flags) (bpf-prog-filename)
The available load-flags are:
* ``J``: use JIT generated native code, otherwise BPF interpreter will be used.
* ``M``: assume input parameter is a pointer to rte_mbuf, otherwise assume it is a pointer to first segment's data.
* ``-``: none.
.. note::
You'll need clang v3.7 or above to build bpf program you'd like to load
For example:
.. code-block:: console
cd examples/bpf
clang -O2 -target bpf -c t1.c
Then to load (and JIT compile) t1.o at RX queue 0, port 1:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> bpf-load rx 1 0 J ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
To load (not JITed) t1.o at TX queue 0, port 0:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> bpf-load tx 0 0 - ./dpdk.org/examples/bpf/t1.o
bpf-unload
~~~~~~~~~~
Unload previously loaded eBPF program for particular RX/TX queue::
testpmd> bpf-unload rx|tx (portid) (queueid)
For example to unload BPF filter from TX queue 0, port 0:
.. code-block:: console
testpmd> bpf-unload tx 0 0
Flex Item Functions
-------------------
The following sections show functions that configure and create flex item object,
create flex pattern and use it in a flow rule.
The commands will use 20 bytes IPv4 header for examples:
::
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Create flex item
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flex item object is created by PMD according to a new header configuration. The
header configuration is compiled by the testpmd and stored in
``rte_flow_item_flex_conf`` type variable.
::
# flow flex_item create <port> <flex id> <configuration file>
testpmd> flow flex_item init 0 3 ipv4_flex_config.json
port-0: created flex item #3
Flex item configuration is kept in external JSON file.
It describes the following header elements:
**New header length.**
Specify whether the new header has fixed or variable length and the basic/minimal
header length value.
If header length is not fixed, header location with a value that completes header
length calculation and scale/offset function must be added.
Scale function depends on port hardware.
**Next protocol.**
Describes location in the new header that specify following network header type.
**Flow match samples.**
Describes locations in the new header that will be used in flow rules.
Number of flow samples and sample maximal length depend of port hardware.
**Input trigger.**
Describes preceding network header configuration.
**Output trigger.**
Describes conditions that trigger transfer to following network header
.. code-block:: json

Flex pattern and flow rules
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flex pattern describe parts of network header that will trigger flex flow item hit in a flow rule.
Flex pattern directly related to flex item samples configuration.
Flex pattern can be shared between ports.
