Subject: [dpdk-dev] [RFC 0/2] ethdev: add new attribute for signature match
Date: Sun, 14 May 2017 15:50:04 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1494791406-3594-1-git-send-email-qi.z.zhang@intel.com> (raw)
We try to enable ixgbe's signature match with rte_flow, but didn't
find a way with current APIs, so the RFC propose to add a new flow
attribute "sig_match" to indicate if current flow is "perfect match"
or "signature match"
With perfect match (by default), if a packet does not match pattern,
actions will not be taken. (this is identical with current behavior)
With signature match, if a packet does not match pattern, it still
has the possibility to trigger the actions, this happens when device
think the signature of the pattern is matched.
Signature match is expected to have better performance than perfect
match with the cost of accuracy.
When a flow rule with this attribute set, identical behavior can ONLY
be guaranteed if packet matches the pattern, since different device
may have different implementation of signature calculation algorithm.
Driver of device that does not support signature match is not required to
return error, but just simply igore this attribute, because the default
"perfect match" still can be regarded as a speical case of
"signature match".
