[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/4] ethdev: support rss level on tunnel

[Xueming Li]

There was no RSS hash fields level definition on tunnel, implementations
default RSS on tunnel to outer or inner. Adding rss level enable users
to specifiy the tunnel level of RSS hash fields.

0:  outer most,
1:  inner,
-1: inner most(PMD auto detection if nested tunnel specified in fields)

Hi Xueming, please see the comments below,

This *inner most* is confusing, what does it mean for the following
pattern vxlan / end?
This pattern is valid for any level of the VXLAN according to the NIC
capability.  With an inner most, if the PMD support 4 levels of tunnels
it will need to create the 4 rules to match the user request.
Is this what you expect by this definition?

There is also another question, according to the possible values (0, 1,
-1), it cannot handle more than 1 level explicitly, why such limitation?

Yes, auto detection according to tunnel spec. Users could always specify a 
concrete value, 4 for this example.

They are just typical values, any value between 0-255 is acceptable.

Such value must be used with care to avoid colliding rules, you should
document it.

Not really, according to your answer 255 is reserved for a special
definition i.e. ìnner most.  It does not mean make RSS on the 254th
tunnel.

Please update the documentation of such value with the correct possible
values and create a define for the *special* case, people implementing
such API needs to have a clear explanation on what it does.

Some tunnel enhancements:
1. support GRE tunnel type
2. support L3 VXLAN tunnel type - no inner L2 header
3. introduce RSS tunnel level into rte_flow_action_rss
   RSS on inner or outer tunnel headers
4. implementation of rss tunnel level parsing in testpmd

1. Change rss default level to 0 in testpmd CLI parsing
2. Add more comments on RSS level
3. Add L3VXLAN to mbuf ptype

Xueming Li (5):
  ethdev: support rss level on tunnel
  app/testpmd: support rte_flow rss level parsing
  ethdev: support GRE and L3VXLAN tunnel type
  app/testpmd: support l3vxlan tunnel type
  mbuf: add L3 VXLAN packet type

Not clear enough, some PMD like MLX5 accept rules starting from the
VXLAN level, the comment "Inner most level according to flow pattern"
does not inform inside which tunnel the RSS will be done as this pattern
does not provide any information related to the position of the tunnel
in the packet.
What are the expectation for such situation?

Regarding to supported tunnel types, VXLAN, L3VXLAN, GRE or GENEVE as long 
as the PMD supports. RTE_PTYPE_TUNNEL_MASK is a good mask of supported tunnel 
types.

Seems you did not understood my question, if I set a flow rule as

 flow create 0 ingress vxlan / end action rss level -1 queues 0 1 end / end

According to your definition: "inner most level according to flow
pattern" in my example, the pattern does not provide any "level", this
rule can match the first level as the 254th as well, this leads to an
undefined situation when using level = -1.

What is your expectation in such situation?

This rule looks a little confused to users, it covers fowling cases?
	Vxlan
	Gre/vxlan
	Vxlan/vxlan/vxlan
Auto rss level detection will get 1,2,3 for each of above examples from
Pattern in a left to right order, based on what defined in pattern. 
Users has to define tunnel pattern one by one exactly.

Actually we seldom see real requirement beyond inner tunnel, the auto-
detection could be abandoned if it conflict with existing definition.

For my understanding, what I expect from this rule is an RSS spreading
on the inner *most* tunnel.  If the NIC was recognising at most 4
tunnels in the packet, it would mean RSS on the 4th tunnel, i.e. an
equivalent to:

 vxlan / end actions rss level 4 queues 0 1 end / end

I agree on this last one,  if the definition is not clear enough
(multiple interpretation in this case), it is better to not expose such
functionality.

I strongly suggest to let the level set to outer, otherwise most of the
PMD will have to refuse such rule.

Default to outer rss? Would be glad to hear more suggestion on this.

The point is, not a single NIC will react the same way with testpmd with
such value as default.
NIC with RSS inner capability will start spreading tunnel packets
differently than the other who don't have it.
Default value should be set to have the same default on all NIC.
