[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/5] net/ixgbevf: unregister irq handler when other interrupts not allowed.

[Tonghao Zhang]

When we bind the ixgbe VF (e.g 82599 card) to igb_uio and enable the
rx-interrupt, there will be more than one epoll_wait on intr_handle.fd.
One is in "eal-intr-thread" thread, and the others are in the thread
which call the "rte_epoll_wait". The problem is that sometiems
"eal-intr-thread" thread will process the rx interrupt, and then
rte_epoll_wait can't get the event any more, and the packets may be lost.

We should unregister the status interrupt handler in "eal-intr-thread"
thread and the ixgbe pf is in the same case.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/5] net/ixgbevf: set the inter-interrupt interval for EITR.

[Tonghao Zhang]

Set EITR interval as default. This patch can improve the performance
when we enable the rx-intrrupt to process the packets because we hope
rx-intrrupt reduce CPU.

The 200us value of EITR makes the performance better with the low CPU.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/5] net/ixgbevf: save IXGBE_VTEIMS to intr->mask for performance.

[Tonghao Zhang]

If dpdk APPs call the rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable or
rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable frequently, and ixgbe vf will read
the IXGBE_VTEIMS register everytime. We can optimize the driver
function. The patch save the IXGBE_VTEIMS to mask to avoid read
frequently.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/5] net/ixgbevf: add check for rte_intr_enable.

[Tonghao Zhang]

When we bind the ixgbevf to vfio and call the rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable
and rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable frequently, the interrupt setting
(msi_set_mask_bit) will take more CPU as show below. rte_intr_enable
call the ioctl to map the fd to interrupts frequently.

perf top:
5.45%  [kernel]   [k] msi_set_mask_bit

It is unnecessary to call the rte_intr_enable in
ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_enable. because the fds has been mapped to
interrupt and not unmapped in ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable.

This patch add checks for using VFIO.  With the patch, msi_set_mask_bit is
not listed in perl any more. Any suggestion will be welcome.

Applied to dpdk-next-virtio, with the intendation fixed.

I have also shortten the log a bit "failed to set reconnect thread name".
There is no need to specify "vhost-user" again since VHOST_CONFIG tells
you it comes from vhost-user.

Thanks.

Note that I have just applied this patch only. The rest of this patchset
belongs to the ixgbe PMD driver, which need another maintainer for review.

That also means, it's better if you could send them sperately next time
when they are not related. More specifically, in this case, one patch
for vhost-user, another patchset for all the rest ixgbe changes.

The patch looks OK for me, the commit log can be reworded, for example, "we" can be removed.

The patch is not only for ixgbevf, but also for ixgbe, right?
so how about changing the title with net/ixgbe started?

For igb_uio, did you check if it's necessary to call rte_intr_enable every time? Since rte interrupt is not disabled during ixgbevf_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable.

Is it possible to configure interval via DPDK configuration? Just like CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_I40E_ITR_INTERVAL for i40e.
Maybe the value is good for you but not suitable for other users.

Besides, seems the patches in the patchset have no dependency, needn't put them into one patchset, and then the Acked patch can be applied quickly.

good, remove the rte_intr_enable directly, because intr has been
disable/enable via writing the register in
ixgbevf_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable/enable.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/5] net/ixgbevf: add check for rte_intr_enable.

[Dai, Wei]

Hi, Tonghao
Thanks for your patch.
It looks that same change can be applied to ixgbe_dev_interrupt_action( )
and ixgbe_dev_interrupt_delayed_handler( ).
Anyway, you can test all these changes with example/l3fwd-power.

Yes, but the irq (e.g mailbox irq) is not  same as rx interrupt
handled frequently.
and it will not affect the performance.

I tested them with  example/l3fwd-power and our apps. It is ok.
I will send v3 to you.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/5] net/ixgbevf: add check for rte_intr_enable.

[Tonghao Zhang]

When we bind the ixgbevf to vfio and call the rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_enable
and rte_eth_dev_rx_intr_disable frequently, the interrupt setting
(msi_set_mask_bit) will take more CPU as show below. rte_intr_enable
call the ioctl to map the fd to interrupts frequently.

perf top:
5.45%  [kernel]   [k] msi_set_mask_bit

It is unnecessary to call the rte_intr_enable in ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_enable.
because the fds has been mapped to interrupt and not unmapped in
ixgbe_dev_rx_queue_intr_disable.

This patch add checks for using VFIO.  With the patch, msi_set_mask_bit is
not listed in perl any more. Any suggestion will be welcome.
