            Bug ID: 486
           Summary: i40e driver has very bad performance when VXLAN TSO is
                    enabled
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 19.11
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: yangyi01@inspur.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Current OVS DPDK (DPDK 19.11.x) has supported TSO on vlan, but TSO isn't
enabled on vxlan.

DPDK and pmd drivers have been ready for VXLAN TSO support, I'm trying to
enable it, the first patch [1] has been posted into ovs community, it can work
in term of functionality, but performance is very bad, it is about 40Mbps on
two network namespaces on my two servers, I used OVS DPDK in one server, the
other server used OVS kernel, performance can reach about 110Mbps when I
disabled GRO on physical interface and vxlan interface (sudo ethtool -K XXX gro
off), it is about 2Gbps when I disabled tso and keep tx checksum offload on
(sudo ip netns exec ns02 ethtool -K veth2 tso off).

I checked my code many times, I can't find out root cause, I doubt it is i40e
driver issue (I'm very sure my X710 NIC can work well in OVS kernel and vxlan
tso is enabled)

--- Comment #2 from Xiaoyun Li (xiaoyun.li@intel.com) ---
Using testpmd to test vxlan tso. Function works. And after comparing the perf
with cases without vxlan tso, the perf is similar. Can't see obvious drop.

Tested with both 19.11 & newest commit b8d81e9cbf5e. Both work fine. So it's
not a bug of i40e driver.

Test steps:

ixia generates packets with len 1500, and udp dst port 4789 (vxlan), and outer
udp payload with vxlan and inner tcp packets.

ixia rx port to observe the bytes receive rate. Both cases can get about 3GBps
perf (using XXV710).

If using vxlan tso:

./build/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 28,29,30,31 -n 4 -w 86:00.0 -w 86:00.1 – -i

port stop all

csum set ip hw 0

csum set udp hw 0

csum set tcp hw 0

csum set outer-ip hw 0

csum set outer-udp hw 0

csum set sctp hw 0

csum parse-tunnel on 0

csum set ip hw 1

csum set udp hw 1

csum set tcp hw 1

csum set outer-ip hw 1

csum set outer-udp hw 1

csum set sctp hw 1

csum parse-tunnel on 1

tunnel_tso set 800 1

rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0

set fwd csum

port start all

start



If without vxlan tso:

./build/app/dpdk-testpmd -l 28,29,30,31 -n 4 -w 86:00.0 -w 86:00.1 – -i

rx_vxlan_port add 4789 0

start
