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> |
