RTE IPv4 header definition combines the `version' and `ihl' fields into a single structure member. This patch introduces dedicated structure members for both `version' and `ihl' IPv4 fields. Separated header fields definitions allow to create simplified code to match on the IHL value in a flow rule. The original `version_ihl' structure member is kept for backward compatibility.

Yep, I guess it might be classified as API change. Another thing that concerns me - it is not the only place in IPv4 header when we unite multiple bit-fields into one field: type_of_service, fragment_offset. If we start splitting ipv4 fields into actual bitfields, I suppose we'll end-up splitting these ones too. But I am not sure it will pay off - as compiler not always generates optimal code for reading/updating bitfields. Did you consider just adding extra macros to simplify access to these fields (like RTE_IPV4_HDR_(GET_SET)_*), instead? > I think this patch is an improvement, and that such structure modifications should be generally accepted, so: > > Acked-by: Morten Brørup <mb@smartsharesystems.com>

If we don't introduce bitfields like these, I would rather stick with the current _MASK, _SHIFT and _FLAG defines. Yes, this change will lead to the introduction of more bitfields, both here and in other places. We already accepted it in the eCPRI structure (/lib/net/rte_ecpri.h), so why not just generally accept it. Are modern compilers really worse at handling a bitfield defined like this, compared to handling a single uint8_t with hand coding? I consider your concern very important, so I'm only asking if it is still relevant, to avoid making decisions based on past experience that might be outdated.

Hi, Morten and all,
I have a questions which has bothering me for a long time.
What's the difference between API and ABI?
Why does this patch does not breake ABI, but break API(maybe)?
Hope for your reply, thanks.

The API being fixed, that a user can in confidence recompile their source
code and it will compile without any new errors.
The ABI guarantee means, that an application dynamically linked to DPDK
shared libraries will work without problem if the DPDK libraries are updated.

Hello Stephen,
Thank you for the clarification.
According to the above statements, the patch introduces alternative
access method to IPv4 version & ihl fields without breaking existing API.
Regards,
Gregory
Hello, There was no activity that patch for a long time. The patch is marked as failed, but we verified failed tests and concluded that the failures can be ignored. https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210527152858.13312-1-getelson@nvidia.com/ How should I proceed with this case ? Please advise. Thank you.

I don't see a problem about using bitfields here, glibc or FreeBSD netinet/ip.h are doing the same. However, as stated previously, this patch breaks the initialization API.

From: Gregory Etelson <getelson@nvidia.com> RTE IPv4 header definition combines the `version' and `ihl' fields into a single structure member. This patch introduces dedicated structure members for both `version' and `ihl' IPv4 fields. Separated header fields definitions allow to create simplified code to match on the IHL value in a flow rule. The original `version_ihl' structure member is kept for backward compatibility.

This ends up being an API change which was not announced.

It was announced (commit f7383e7c7ec1). But that's a good point:
- the removal of the deprecation is missing in the patch
- the message notice also talks about union for fragment_offset
RTE IPv4 header definition combines the `version' and `ihl' fields into a single structure member. This patch introduces dedicated structure members for both `version' and `ihl' IPv4 fields. Separated header fields definitions allow to create simplified code to match on the IHL value in a flow rule. The original `version_ihl' structure member is kept for backward compatibility. The patch implements one of 2 announced changes to the IPv4 header. IPv4 header encodes fragment information into 16 bits field. 3 bits hold flags and remaining 13 bits are for fragment offset. 13 bits bit-field cannot be defined both for big and little endian systems.

Hi Gregory,
Can you please change the order of the first and second patch?
This way I can get the first one, since it is already acked, before -rc1,
and continue reviews for second one, it will be OK since it is a
doc patch.
Thanks,
ferruh

It makes more sense in this order I think.
The first patch is just dropping a deprecation note, I can ack.

OK to drop this announce.
There is no implementation anyway,
it will be back in one year if there is a solution.

It will be same I think, first patch can have implementation and remove
the implemented part of the deprecation notice,
remaining deprecation notice part can be removed with or without its
implementation later.
Anyway, this is for operational needs, if the first patch gets enough
ack/review timely, not update is required and I can get both patches.

Do we need the last 'else' part?
Although it is harmless to have it, other protocol headers for endianness
check doesn't have this part, so I think better to be consistent.

In lib/eal/include/generic/rte_byteorder.h we already have
#if !defined(RTE_BYTE_ORDER)
#error Unknown endianness.
#endif
So indeed we don't need this last else part.
