Since commit [1], the kernel strips the vlan tags early in __netif_receive_skb_core(), so we receive untagged packets while running with the af_packet pmd. Luckily for us, the skb vlan-related fields are still populated from the stripped vlan tags, so we end up having all the information that we need in the mbuf. Having the pmd driver support DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP allows the application to control the desired vlan stripping behavior, until we have a way to describe offloads that can't be disabled by pmd drivers. This patch will cause a change in the default way that the af_packet pmd treats received vlan-tagged frames. While previously, the application was required to check the PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED flag, after this patch, the pmd will re-insert the vlan tag transparently to the user, unless the DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP is enabled in rxmode.offloads. I've attempted a preliminary benchmark to understand if the change could cause a sizable performance hit. Setup: Two virtual machines running on top of an ESXi hypervisor Tx: DPDK app (running on top of vmxnet3 PMD) Rx: af_packet (running on top of a kernel vmxnet3 interface) Packet size :68 (packet contains a vlan tag) Rates: Tx - 1.419 Mpps Rx (without vlan insertion) - 1227636 pps Rx (with vlan insertion) - 1220081 pps At a first glance, we don't seem to have a large degradation in terms of packet rate [1] https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/bcc6d47903612c3861201cc3a866fb604f26b8b2 Signed-off-by: Tudor Cornea --- v3: * Updated release note and documentation * Updated commit with performance measurements v2: * Added DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP to rxmode->offloads --- doc/guides/nics/af_packet.rst | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ doc/guides/rel_notes/release_21_11.rst | 4 ++++ drivers/net/af_packet/rte_eth_af_packet.c | 12 ++++++++++ 3 files changed, 54 insertions(+) diff --git a/doc/guides/nics/af_packet.rst b/doc/guides/nics/af_packet.rst index efd6f1c..97d5502 100644 --- a/doc/guides/nics/af_packet.rst +++ b/doc/guides/nics/af_packet.rst @@ -65,3 +65,41 @@ framecnt=512): .. code-block:: console --vdev=eth_af_packet0,iface=tap0,blocksz=4096,framesz=2048,framecnt=512,qpairs=1,qdisc_bypass=0 + +Features and Limitations of the af_packet PMD +--------------------------------------------- + +Since the following commit, the Linux kernel strips the vlan tag + +.. code-block:: console + + commit bcc6d47903612c3861201cc3a866fb604f26b8b2 + Author: Jiri Pirko + Date: Thu Apr 7 19:48:33 2011 +0000 + + net: vlan: make non-hw-accel rx path similar to hw-accel + +Running on such a kernel results in receiving untagged frames while using +the af_packet PMD.
