This series adds support for VXLAN and NVGRE encap as a sample actions with the proper
documentation, this series depends on [1] for the documentation part.
    
[1] http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1615774238-51875-1-git-send-email-jiaweiw@nvidia.com/

V2: updated ("doc: update sample actions support in testpmd guide") fixing a build issue.
V3: added ("doc: update dpdk 21.05 release notes").

From: Jiawei Wang <jiaweiw@nvidia.com>

With the current code the VXLAN/NVGRE parsing routine
stored the configuration of the header on stack, this
might lead to overwriting the data on the stack.

This patch stores the external data of vxlan and nvgre encap
into global data as a pre-step to supporting vxlan and nvgre
encap as a sample actions.

Add support for rte_flow_action_vxlan_encap as a sample action.

The example of test-pmd command:

1.  set vxlan ip-version ... vni ... udp-src ...
    set raw_encap 1 eth src.../ ipv4.../...
    set sample_actions 2 vxlan_encap / port_id id 0 / end
    flow create 0 ... pattern eth / end actions
       sample ratio 1 index 2 / raw_encap index 1 / port_id id 0...

    The flow will result in all the matched egress packets will be
    encapsulated and sent to wire, and also mirrored the packets
    using VXLAN encapsulation data and sent to wire.

Similar comment on 'E-Switch', the mirroring is generic feature but 'E-Switch' 
is vendor specific, can you please update testpmd in a generic way?

I didn't get what was on stack and moved in to the global data, can you please 
elaborate.

For example for nvgre, 'action_nvgre_encap_data' is pointer in stack but the 
actual object is 'ctx->object', so it is not really in the stack.

Tough, OK to refactor and split the function as preparation to support the 
sample action.

Can you please fix the syntax, I guess this is done to keep within in 80 column 
limit, but from readability perspective I think better to go over the 80 column 
a little instead of breaking the line like this.

This is a static function, and the input of it is in our control, so not sure if 
we should verify the input here.
But if we need to, can you please check the return value of this function where 
it is called.

Can you please distribute the content of this patch to the patch that actually 
adds the feature, instead of having a separate release notes update patch?

Thanks.

This patch split the function and saved input data into input parameter:
So it mentioned here "pre-step" for next store the data of vxlan/nvgre into global.

The global var for sample action is defined in: 
(https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210317092610.71000-5-salems@nvidia.com/)
struct action_vxlan_encap_data sample_vxlan_encap[RAW_SAMPLE_CONFS_MAX_NUM];

> For example for nvgre, 'action_nvgre_encap_data' is pointer in stack but the

> 

After call 'set sample 0 nvgre .. ', the data be stored into 'ctx->object', the 'ctx->object' will be reused
for the following CLI command, After that, while we try to use previous 'sample action' to fetch nvgre data,
these data may be lost.

For sample action, use global data can save the previous nvgre configurations data.

I agree with you that can remove this checking inside, since we make sure it's valid before call.

Thanks.

Hi Ferruh,

Indeed this patch is dependent on [1], it's also mentioned in the cover letter, I will rebase and post V4 addressing all the comments once [1] is accepted.

Similar comment on 'E-Switch', the mirroring is generic feature but 'E-Switch'
is vendor specific, can you please update testpmd in a generic way?

Cover letter one links to a mlx doc patch, that was the source of the confusion.

And the dependent tespmd patch has a new version, which looks good and I am 
planning to get it today, in next a few hours, fyi.

Sorry for the confusion, it was meant to show dependency on the whole series  which had two commits [1] and [2].
I will keep an eye for when the patches are merged to post the v4, thanks for the update.

Commit log says:

"
This patch stores the external data of vxlan and nvgre encap
into global data as a pre-step to supporting vxlan and nvgre
encap as a sample actions.
"

It says this patch does storing into the global data, but as far as I can see 
from code and above description, this patch is just preparation for it.
I can see there is a new version which has same commit log, can you please 
update it in new version?

Got it, the target is to use "set sample_actions ..." testpmd command to store 
vxlan/nvgre encap sample actions.
For record, can you please document what was the way to the same before this 
support, can you please document the old testpmd command.

Got it, the target is to use "set sample_actions ..." testpmd command to store vxlan/nvgre encap sample actions.
For record, can you please document what was the way to the same before this support, can you please document the old testpmd command.

Can you please elaborate regarding where did you want this documentation? 
Prior to this support it is already documented, in http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1617244796-358287-1-git-send-email-jiaweiw@nvidia.com/
With the "raw_encap"

Does this seem acceptable? 
" app/testpmd: prepare storing VXLAN/NVGRE encap data globally
 
 With the current code the VXLAN/NVGRE parsing routine
 stored the configuration of the header on stack, this
 might lead to overwriting the data on the stack.
 
 Currently having VXLAN/NVGRE encap as sample actions
 is done using RAW_ENCAP, for example:
 1. set raw_encap 1 eth src.../ vxlan vni.../ ipv4.../ ...
    set sample_actions 0 raw_encap / port_id id 0 / end
    flow create 0 ... pattern eth / end actions
       sample ration 1 index 0 / jump group 1 / end
 
 The goal is to utilize the rte_flow_action_vxlan_encap
 and rte_flow_action_nvgre_encap for sample actions.
 
 This patch prepares storing the external data of vxlan and 
 nvgre encap into global data as a pre-step to supporting 
 vxlan and nvgre encap as a sample actions."
