[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] net/mlx5: fix return value of start operation

[Olivier Matz]

On error, mlx5_dev_start() does not return a negative value
as it is supposed to do. The consequence is that the application
(ex: testpmd) does not notice that the port is not started
and begins the rxtx on an uninitialized port, which crashes.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/2] net/mlx5: fix allocation when no memory on device NUMA node

[Olivier Matz]

If there is no memory available on the same numa node than the
device, it is preferable to fallback on another socket instead
of failing.

This function is the finalisation of the creation of the queues and
contains the buffers to the CQ/WQ which must be on the correct socket
otherwise the performances will be limited.

Even if this function is only called on dev_start() it must reflect the
configuration requested from the application on the
rte_eth_{tx,rx}_queue_setup().

err in the function is handled with positives errno's, adding only those
two and returning err will make the other positive.

I tried to check the return value of all functions called by mlx5_dev_start()
(negative or positive). Do you see something wrong?

Those two func calls have been moved recently. [1]
Please rebase it on top of dpdk-next-net-mlx/for-next-net

Then, the last change is okay to return negative values.

Nelio, we should make all the return values consistent someday, shouldn't we?

What I mean is priv_flow_start() is returning a positive errno as all
other functions priv_*() that's the main reason for the final rteurn -err;

Internally MLX5 driver only works with positives errnos as lot of them
are retuning the values from ioctl directly.  Only the public ones are
returning negatives.

So, what should I modify in this patch for v2?
Do you agree that there is a bug regarding the return value of mlx5_dev_start()?

It can be reproduced easily by starting testpmd on a dual-socket machine,
use the core and memory from socket 0, and have the mlx device on socket 1.
Then start traffic forwarding, it will crash.

priv_txq_start(priv);
  -> negative on error
priv_rxq_start(priv);
  -> negative on error
priv_dev_traffic_enable(priv, dev);
  -> positive (+errno) on error
priv_flow_start(priv, &priv->flows);
  -> positive (+errno) on error
priv_rx_intr_vec_enable(priv);
  -> negative (-1 or -errno) on error

Indeed,

All this needs to be re-worked to only return negatives values, in the
mean time,

The cx4 devices are on socket 1, but I use cores and memory from
socket 0. I know it is not optimal, but it should work.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/2] net/mlx5: fix return value of start operation

[Olivier Matz]

On error, mlx5_dev_start() does not return a negative value
as it is supposed to do. The consequence is that the application
(ex: testpmd) does not notice that the port is not started
and begins the rxtx on an uninitialized port, which crashes.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] net/mlx5: fix allocation when no memory on device NUMA node

[Olivier Matz]

If there is no memory available on the same numa node than the
device, it is preferable to fallback on another socket instead
of failing.

This new version of the patch was provided by Nelio (thanks), I
validated it on my platform. I just did minimal changes to fix the
checkpatch issues in the comments of mlx5.h (/** instead of /*).

Per my understanding the below patch is to select the socket on which to create the Verbs object based on the ethdev configuration rather than the PCI numa node.
While it introduce the infrastructure to do fallback to other socket id, it is not yet used. 
I think the commit log should be modified to better explain this patch.

That's right, the commit log should be updated, it's still the commit log
of the v1, which does not match.

It looks we should also replace VERSB by VERBS :D

I will send a v3.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] net/mlx5: fix return value of start operation

[Olivier Matz]

On error, mlx5_dev_start() does not return a negative value
as it is supposed to do. The consequence is that the application
(ex: testpmd) does not notice that the port is not started
and begins the rxtx on an uninitialized port, which crashes.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] net/mlx5: fix allocation when no memory on device NUMA node

[Olivier Matz]

When no memory is available on the same numa node than the device, the
initialization of the device fails. However, the use case where the
cores and memory are on a different socket than the device is valid,
even if not optimal.

To fix this issue, this commit introduces an infrastructure to select
the socket on which to allocate the verbs objects based on the ethdev
configuration and the object type, rather than the PCI numa node.

  config and object type
