Bharath,

Please try the following:

In this example we are directing the traffic to queue 1 of VF ID 5.  First you must turn on ntuple.

$ ethtool –K p5p2 ntuple on

Then you can set the FD rule:

$ ethtool –N p5p2 flow-type udp4 dst-port 4790 action 1 user-def 5

When I do that this is the rule definition result:

Filter: 2045
        Rule Type: UDP over IPv4
        Src IP addr: 0.0.0.0 mask: 255.255.255.255
        Dest IP addr: 0.0.0.0 mask: 255.255.255.255
        TOS: 0x0 mask: 0xff
        Src port: 0 mask: 0xffff
        Dest port: 4790 mask: 0x0
        VLAN EtherType: 0x0 mask: 0xffff
        VLAN: 0x0 mask: 0xffff
        User-defined: 0x5 mask: 0xffffffffffffff00
        Action: Direct to queue 1

Be sure to use a version of ethtool 3.0 or greater and a recent kernel – I tested on ethtool version 3.15 with a 3.18.4 Linux kernel from kernel.org and using the most recent ixgbe driver release.

Let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,

- Greg

Bharath,

I’m sorry for the delay but I am working on a response to this.  There is a way to do what you need to do and I will get together some instructions and respond by tomorrow.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Team,

May I have some update on my previous mail? I am here stuck in flow creation.

Thanks,

Hi Michael and All,

         I am unable to set the rule to receive the packet on the VF.
Below is my setup.

1. Creating one virtual function with one queue, in one of my port, p2p1.
    modprobe ixgbe MQ=1 max_vfs=1 RSS=1 allow_unsupported_sfp=1
2. Below is the interface status after creating one virtual function.
[root@XXXX sriov]# ifconfig p2p1
p2p1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr A0:36:9F:86:C2:74

3. Next I am enable ntuple
ethtool -K p2p1  ntuple on
4. Now I am adding below rule
ethtool -N p2p1   flow-type udp4 dst-port 4789 action 0x100000000 --> VF 0, queue 0
ethtool -N p2p1   flow-type udp4 dst-port 4790 action 0x000000000 --> PF queue 0
5. [root@XXX sriov]# ethtool -n p2p1
1 RX rings available
Total 2 rules

Filter: 2044
        Rule Type: UDP over IPv4
        Src IP addr: 0.0.0.0 mask: 255.255.255.255

6. Start the VM over p2p1_0
7. Below is the Packet I am sending
a) Dest MAC - VF Mac, Src MAC - any untagged, src ip - 1.1.1.1 dest ip - 2.2.2.2 src port - 100 dest port - 4789
b) Dest MAC - VF Mac, Src MAC - any, untagged, src ip - 1.1.1.1 dest ip - 2.2.2.2 src port - 100 dest port - 4790
c) Dest MAC - VF Mac, untagged, src ip - 1.1.1.1 dest ip - 2.2.2.2 src port - 100 dest port - 4791

All the above testing is done on centOs-6.7 with ixgbe version - 4.3.13 with patch you mentioned on 82599 Ethernet controller
Linux XXX 2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Mar 23 03:35:39 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Observation:
If the packet matches the rule, I am not able to see the packet in the VF, instead I am able to see the packet in PF.
for the packets a) and b), I am able to see te packet only in PF. Even if the packet destination MAC is VF's MAC,
I am able to see only in PF.
If the packet is not matching the rule, then I am able to see the packet in VF, provided packet destination MAC is VF's MAC.
Question:
1) Am I mapping the queues wrongly while adding the rules?
2) How to Identify which VF using which Queues?

    Request you to provide some help on it.

Thanks a lot Michael.  Finally i am able to see some light. I will try the same in our setup and will post you the results.

Yes, we could let ovs using 82599 VF to do rx/tx. I don't know what's
your l2 bridge, but since ovs could work I think your bridge also could
work. But I only tested with one VF.

Make sure below two patches (bifurcate driver) are included in your kernel:

_https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/476511/_
_https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/476516/_

Mostly, if your kernel version in 4.2 or newer, it should be included.

After you create VF, before you passthrough the VF to guest:

(vf +1) << 32 + queue-index,


 1. where vf is the VF index starting from 0
 2. the queue-index is 0 if multi-queue support is not turned on, and
    this value is [0,1] if multiple-queue is turned on


echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:05\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
ifconfig $(PF_INTF) up
ifconfig $(VF0_INFT) up
ip link set $(PF_INTF) promisc on
ethtool -K $(PF_INTF) ntuple on
ethtool -N $(PF_INTF) flow-type udp4 dst-port 4789 action 0x100000000
(VF0 queue 0)

Here we using flow director to all let packets according to the rules to
the VF, But I don't know if it could let the packets to other VFs at the
same time.

Thanks,
Michael
