Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/2] net/vhost: add pmd xstats
Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2016 16:33:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1475051598-74475-3-git-send-email-zhiyong.yang@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1475051598-74475-1-git-send-email-zhiyong.yang@intel.com>

This feature adds vhost pmd extended statistics from per port perspective
in order to meet the requirements of the applications such as OVS etc.

The statistics counters are based on RFC 2819 and RFC 2863 as follows:

rx/tx_good_packets
rx/tx_total_bytes
rx/tx_missed_pkts
rx/tx_broadcast_packets
rx/tx_multicast_packets
rx/tx_unicast_packets
rx/tx_undersize_errors
rx/tx_size_64_packets
rx/tx_size_65_to_127_packets;
rx/tx_size_128_to_255_packets;
rx/tx_size_256_to_511_packets;
rx/tx_size_512_to_1023_packets;
rx/tx_size_1024_to_1522_packets;
rx/tx_1523_to_max_packets;
rx/tx_errors
rx_fragmented_errors
rx_jabber_errors
rx_unknown_protos_packets;

No API is changed or added.
rte_eth_xstats_get_names() to retrieve what kinds of vhost xstats are
supported,
rte_eth_xstats_get() to retrieve vhost extended statistics,
rte_eth_xstats_reset() to reset vhost extended statistics. 

The usage of vhost pmd xstats is the same as virtio pmd xstats.
for example, when test-pmd application is running in interactive mode
vhost pmd xstats will support the two following commands:

show port xstats all | port_id will show vhost xstats
clear port xstats all | port_id will reset vhost xstats

net/virtio pmd xstats(the function virtio_update_packet_stats) is used
as reference when implementing the feature.

Changes in V6:

1. Change xstats from per queue to per port. Keep vhost consistent with
physical NIC i40e, ixgbe, etc.
2. added the release note.

Changes in V5:
for vhost_count_multicast_broadcast, passing struct rte_mbuf *buf instead
of struct rte_mbuf **buf and remove the 3th parameter uint16_t count;.

Changes in v4:
1. add a member VHOST_XSTATS_MAX in enum vhost_xstats_pkts, So, we can
define uint64_t xstats[VHOST_XSTATS_MAX]; instead of xstats[16].
2. restore unicast_packets and update it in the function
vhost_dev_xstats_get
3. move the loop out of function vhost_count_multicast_broadcast in order
to reduce the computation.

Changes in v3:
1. rework the vhost_update_packet_xstats and separate it into two parts.
   One function deals with the generic packets update, another one deals
   with increasing the broadcast and multicast with failure packets sent
   according to RFC2863 page42 ifHCOutMulticastPkts ifHCOutBroadcastPkts.
2. define enum vhost_stat_pkts to replace the magic numbers and enhance
   the code readability.
3. remove some unnecessary type casts and fix one format issue.

Changes in v2:
1. remove the compiling switch.
2. fix two code bugs.
