[dpdk-dev] FW: IP fragmentation chunk getting dropped on egress

[dpdk-dev] FW: IP fragmentation chunk getting dropped on egress

[Steve Banville]

 

Hi,

 

I'm seeing an issue with DPDK and IP frag where the first chunk is getting dropped on egress. I'm using the igb_e1000 driver with DPDK v18.x. My scenario is that I'm allocating a new buffer to store an outer L3 tunnel header, I clone the original received buffer which is a little over 3K, I link the newly cloned buffer to the allocated buffers nextptr and copy the meta data from the original packet buffer to the new allocated buffer. After calling   rte_ipv4_fragment_packet, I notice that the number of chunks created form the jumbo packet seems correct. What's strange is that the 1st fragmented chunk has a segment with a data_len = 0. All subsequent chunks appear to be fine. I've ran rte_mbuf_sanity_check against my new packet which succeeds. After adjusting the packet for L2 and adding the Ethernet header, I send the packet out but only chunks 1 + 2 are received off the wire. The first chunk (0) is never received and the NICs eth stats reflect this as well.

 

 

I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this issue and provide a solution.

 

Thanks,

 

Steve

 

Code example:

 

                  copybuf = rte_pktmbuf_alloc(getMbufPool());

        // Add L3 tunnel header

        Clone_buffer = rte_pktmbuf_clone(pkt_info->mblk, getClonePool());

                

        

        // Link the outer trace header

        copybuf->next = clone_buffer;

        copybuf->pkt_len += clone_buffer->pkt_len;           // update overall packet length

        clone_buffer->pkt_len = clone_buffer->data_len;      // packet len only in first segment            

        copybuf->nb_segs = (uint8_t)(clone_buffer->nb_segs + 1);

        

        

        /* copy metadata from source packet */

        copybuf->vlan_tci = pkt_info->mblk->vlan_tci;

        copybuf->vlan_tci_outer = pkt_info->mblk->vlan_tci_outer;

        copybuf->port = pkt_info->mblk->port;

        copybuf->tx_offload = pkt_info->mblk->tx_offload;        

        copybuf->hash = pkt_info->mblk->hash;

        copybuf->ol_flags = pkt_info->mblk->ol_flags;

 

        rte_mbuf_sanity_check(copybuf, 1);
