[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] vmxnet3: upgrade to version 3

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/7] vmxnet3: upgrade to version 3

[Shrikrishna Khare]

vmxnet3 emulation has recently added several new features which includes
support for new commands the driver can issue to emulation, change in
descriptor fields etc. This patch series extends the vmxnet3 driver to
leverage these new features.

Compatibility is maintained using existing vmxnet3 versioning mechanism as
follows:
 - new features added to vmxnet3 emulation are associated with new vmxnet3
   version viz. vmxnet3 version 3.
 - emulation advertises all the versions it supports to the driver.
 - during initialization, vmxnet3 driver picks the highest version number
 supported by both the emulation and the driver and configures emulation
 to run at that version.

In particular, following changes are introduced:

Patch 1:
  Trivial cleanup in preparation of version 3 changes.

Patch 2:
  This patch introduces generalized command interface which allows
  for easily adding new commands that vmxnet3 driver can issue to the
  emulation. Further patches in this series make use of this facility.

Patch 3:
  Transmit data ring buffer is used to copy packet headers or small
  packets. It is a fixed size buffer. This patch extends the driver to
  allow variable sized transmit data ring buffer.

Patch 4:
  This patch introduces receive data ring buffer - a set of small sized
  buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. This avoids memory
  mapping/unmapping overhead for small packets.

Patch 5:
  This patch adds reserved commands.

Patch 6:
  In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver
  to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use
  for rx/tx buffers. This patch exposes related commands to the driver. The
  driver is also extended to make use of this feaeture.

Patch 7:
  With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver,
  with this patch, the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3
  version 3.

---

Changes in v2:
  - updated release notes to document vmxnet3 version 3 support.
  - fixed coding style issues identified by checkpatches.sh.
  - fixed patch title style issued identified by check-git-log.sh.
  - fixed compilation issues hit when debug logging is turned on.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 2/7] net/vmxnet3: introduce generalized cmd interface

[Shrikrishna Khare]

Shared memory is used to exchange information between the vmxnet3 driver
and the emulation. In order to request emulation to perform a task, the
driver first populates specific fields in this shared memory and then
issues corresponding command by writing to the command register(CMD). The
layout of the shared memory was defined by vmxnet3 version 1 and cannot
be extended for every new command without breaking backward compatibility.

To address this problem, in vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation repurposed
a reserved field in the shared memory to represent command information
instead. For new commands, the driver first populates the command
information field in the shared memory and then issues the command. The
emulation interprets the data written to the command information
depending on the type of the command. This patch exposes this capability
to the driver.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 3/7] net/vmxnet3: variable length transmit data ring

[Shrikrishna Khare]

vmxnet3 driver supports transmit data ring viz. a set of fixed size
buffers used by the driver to copy packet headers. Small packets that
fit these buffers are copied into these buffers entirely.

Currently this buffer size of fixed at 128 bytes. This patch extends
transmit data ring implementation to allow variable length transmit
data ring buffers. The length of the buffer is read from the emulation
during initialization.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 4/7] net/vmxnet3: add receive data ring support

[Shrikrishna Khare]

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the
buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the
guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it.

To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive
data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by
the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the
emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be
copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used.

Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini

Are you configuring the ring length before unbinding from the kernel driver?

Changing rx data ring requires changing the code and recompiling.

The above ethtool -G line was from my patch that added similar feature to 
Linux vmxnet3 driver. Have removed the line and reposted v3 of the patch 
series.

Thanks,

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 6/7] net/vmxnet3: add cmd to register memory region

[Shrikrishna Khare]

In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver
to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use
for rx/tx buffers. The driver can also indicate which rx/tx queue the
memory region is applicable for. If this information is communicated
to the emulation, the emulation will always keep these memory regions
mapped, thereby avoiding the mapping/unmapping overhead for every packet.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 7/7] net/vmxnet3: update to version 3

[Shrikrishna Khare]

With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver,
the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3 version 3, provided
the emulation advertises support for version 3.
