[PATCH 00/15] fix packing of structs when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

I've decided to only add the macro to packed structs that are built
for Windows. It seems there is little value in adding the macro tree
wide and if new code arrives that is built on Windows the __rte_packed
will flag where the preamble macro is required.

This struct almost certainly doesn't need to be packed - since it's in a
private header, I would imagine removing packing wouldn't be an ABI
break.
Also, removing rte_packed doesn't change the size for me for a 64-bit x86
build. Looking at the struct, I don't see why it would change on a 32-bit
build either.

This also doesn't look like it should be packed. It is a public header
though so we may need to be more careful. Checking a 64-bit x86 build shows
no size change when removing the "packed" attribute, though. For 32-bit, I
think the "size_t" field in the middle would be followed by padding on
32-bit if we removed the "packed" attribute, so it may be a no-go for now.
:-(

From code review, this doesn't look like "packed" has any impact, since all
fields should naturally be aligned on both 32-bit and 64-bit builds.

This struct has all gaps explicitly filled, so packed should not be
necessary. Struct has same size with and without the attribute.

just eyeballing it i think

        uint32_t        dmacapability;  /* 0x10 */

with packing will not be aligned on a 4-byte boundary.

maybe i miscounted though.

Looking at the structure, I believe only the inner packed attribute is
necessary. However, given that we need packed attributes, for safety, let's
keep them both.

This is exactly 16-bytes in size, with all members explicitly sized and
properly aligned. Therefore we can drop the packed atttribute.

Two 16-bit fields only, so no need to pack this struct either.

Should not need to be packed, as no padding.

However, if we don't mark this as packed could we hit problems if (for
whatever reason) we ever receive a packet where the gre_hdr is not aligned
on an even byte boundary? Does packing affect the minimum alignment
requirements of the whole struct, as well as removing padding?

These structs don't look to me like they need packing. No padding should
appear between elements of the structs. The last struct definitely doesn't
need it, as it's a uint8_t array.

Why is packed used so many places in DPDK?
Packed should be reserved for things like network protocols
with unaligned fields.

Many of these structure have no holes and are naturally packed.
Adding packed attribute unnecessarily can generate poor code on
architectures that do not support unaligned access.

I made the same observation. Even network frame formats can be handled
without packing so long as you do some extra work to copy small units
of data out which is often worth doing manually and once only instead
of obfuscated behind codegen and direct field access.

For the specific case where their fields and alignments are naturally
packed I'm not entirely certain you get different codegen but I agree
it might and we'd like to avoid it if it does.

In a lot of the cases it seems to be drivers and often appears like it
is either structs that are used to hardware registers or firmware
protocol data units. Both of which may be need packing.

I will commit to removing packing in structs in this series iff
individual maintainers identify the specific structs in reply to the
series.  If there is no request I'll leave it to them to figure out.

Maintainers should review and request removal as appropriate.

Thanks!

[PATCH v2 00/15] fix packing of structs when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

I've decided to only add the macro to packed structs that are built
for Windows. It seems there is little value in adding the macro tree
wide and if new code arrives that is built on Windows the __rte_packed
will flag where the preamble macro is required.

If as a part of review maintainers identify structs they believe
don't require packing so long as they are explicitly identified
i'll remove the __rte_packed as a part of this series.

v2:
  * app/testpmd, remove packing from simple_gre_hdr
  * net/iavf, remove packing from iavf_ipsec_crypto_pkt_metadata,

[PATCH v2 01/15] eal: provide pack start macro for MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

[PATCH v2 02/15] eal: pack structures when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

Add __rte_msvc_pack to all __rte_packed structs to cause packing
when building with MSVC.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without

[PATCH v3 00/16] fix packing of structs when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

I've decided to only add the macro to packed structs that are built
for Windows. It seems there is little value in adding the macro tree
wide and if new code arrives that is built on Windows the __rte_packed
will flag where the preamble macro is required.

If as a part of review maintainers identify structs they believe
don't require packing so long as they are explicitly identified
i'll remove the __rte_packed as a part of this series.

v3:
  * add missing __rte_msvc_pack to crypto/mlx5
  * fix commit messages to reference __rte_msvc_pack macro instead
    of __rte_msvc_pushpack(1)

v2:
  * app/testpmd, remove packing from simple_gre_hdr
  * net/iavf, remove packing from iavf_ipsec_crypto_pkt_metadata,
    simple_gre_hdr
  * examples, remove packing from pkt_key_qinq, pkt_key_ipv4_5tuple,
    pkt_key_ipv6_5tuple, pkt_key_ipv4_addr, pkt_key_ipv6_addr
  * eal, remove packing from rte_config, __rte_trace_stream_header

[PATCH v3 01/16] eal: provide pack start macro for MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

[PATCH v3 02/16] eal: pack structures when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

Add __rte_msvc_pack to all __rte_packed structs to cause packing
when building with MSVC.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

[PATCH v4 00/16] fix packing of structs when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

I've decided to only add the macro to packed structs that are built
for Windows. It seems there is little value in adding the macro tree
wide and if new code arrives that is built on Windows the __rte_packed
will flag where the preamble macro is required.

If as a part of review maintainers identify structs they believe
don't require packing so long as they are explicitly identified
i'll remove the __rte_packed as a part of this series.

v4:
  * add another missing __rte_msvc_pack to crypto/mlx5 patch
  * correct commit message for duplicated packing packing in
    crypto/mlx5 patch

v3:
  * add missing __rte_msvc_pack to crypto/mlx5
  * fix commit messages to reference __rte_msvc_pack macro instead
    of __rte_msvc_pushpack(1)

v2:
  * app/testpmd, remove packing from simple_gre_hdr
  * net/iavf, remove packing from iavf_ipsec_crypto_pkt_metadata,
    simple_gre_hdr
  * examples, remove packing from pkt_key_qinq, pkt_key_ipv4_5tuple,
    pkt_key_ipv6_5tuple, pkt_key_ipv4_addr, pkt_key_ipv6_addr
  * eal, remove packing from rte_config, __rte_trace_stream_header

[PATCH v4 01/16] eal: provide pack start macro for MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

[PATCH v4 02/16] eal: pack structures when building with MSVC

[Tyler Retzlaff]

Add __rte_msvc_pack to all __rte_packed structs to cause packing
when building with MSVC.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

[PATCH v5 00/16] fix packing of structs when building with MSVC

[Andre Muezerie]

From: Andre Muezerie <andremue@ntdev.microsoft.com>

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC provide a macro that can
be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte. The
existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

I've decided to only add the macro to packed structs that are built
for Windows. It seems there is little value in adding the macro tree
wide and if new code arrives that is built on Windows the __rte_packed
will flag where the preamble macro is required.

If as a part of review maintainers identify structs they believe
don't require packing so long as they are explicitly identified
i'll remove the __rte_packed as a part of this series.

v5:
  * rebase on top of latest main

v4:
  * add another missing __rte_msvc_pack to crypto/mlx5 patch
  * correct commit message for duplicated packing packing in
    crypto/mlx5 patch

v3:
  * add missing __rte_msvc_pack to crypto/mlx5
  * fix commit messages to reference __rte_msvc_pack macro instead
    of __rte_msvc_pushpack(1)

v2:
  * app/testpmd, remove packing from simple_gre_hdr
  * net/iavf, remove packing from iavf_ipsec_crypto_pkt_metadata,
    simple_gre_hdr
  * examples, remove packing from pkt_key_qinq, pkt_key_ipv4_5tuple,
    pkt_key_ipv6_5tuple, pkt_key_ipv4_addr, pkt_key_ipv6_addr
  * eal, remove packing from rte_config, __rte_trace_stream_header

[PATCH v5 01/16] eal: provide pack start macro for MSVC

[Andre Muezerie]

From: Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>

MSVC struct packing is not compatible with GCC. Provide a macro that
can be used to push existing pack value and sets packing to 1-byte.
The existing __rte_packed macro is then used to restore the pack value
prior to the push.

Instead of providing macros exclusively for MSVC and for GCC the
existing macro is deliberately utilized to trigger a warning if no
existing packing has been pushed allowing easy identification of
locations where the __rte_msvc_pack is missing.

Before proceeding with this, can we please discuss the alternative, proposed here:
https://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/CAJFAV8yStgiBbe+Nkt9mC30r0+ZP64_kGuRHOzqd90RD2HXZyw@mail.gmail.com/

The definition of the packing macro in OVS, for reference:
https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/main/include/openvswitch/compiler.h#L209

The current solution requires __rte_packed to be placed at the end of a structure, although __attribute__((packed)) is normally allowed at the beginning (between the "struct" tag and the name of the structure), which introduces a high risk of contributors placing it "incorrectly", thus causing errors.

I have a strong preference for an __RTE_PACKED(decl) variant.

Here's a third alternative:
#ifdef RTE_TOOLCHAIN_MSVC
#define __rte_msvc_pack_begin __pragma(pack(push, 1))
#define __rte_msvc_pack_end   __pragma(pack(pop))
#else
#define __rte_msvc_pack_begin
#define __rte_msvc_pack_end
#endif

The third alternative is also problematic, e.g. if a contributor forgets the _end after the structure declaration, or adds another structure declaration before the _end.

[PATCH v5 02/16] eal: pack structures when building with MSVC

[Andre Muezerie]

From: Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>

Add __rte_msvc_pack to all __rte_packed structs to cause packing
when building with MSVC.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

Remove __rte_packed where it appears natural alignment without
packing would produce the same layout or the struct is internal.

[PATCH v5 16/16] crypto/mlx5: pack structures when building with MSVC

[Andre Muezerie]

From: Tyler Retzlaff <roretzla@linux.microsoft.com>
