[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix meter commands help strings

[Ferruh Yigit]

Helps strings syntax is "command : description", the 'command' part was
missing, updated command help strings.

Fixes: 281eeb8afc55 ("app/testpmd: add commands for metering and policing")
Fixes: 30ffb4e67ee3 ("app/testpmd: add commands traffic metering and policing")
Fixes: e63b50162aa3 ("app/testpmd: clean metering and policing commands")

- "set port meter dscp table" documented with 'port_id' & 'mtr_id', but
  command itself is not requiring it, can be better to double check the
  intention in the command.
- In command "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> yes|no", it is
  not clear what 'yes|no' is, can be better to have a 'clear' keyword
  there: "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> clear yes|no"
- 'meter' commands seems using many high level commands, that is harder
  to remember when you take all commands into account:
  "show port meter ..."
  "add port meter ..."
  "del port meter ..."
  "create port meter ..."
  "enable port meter ..."
  "disable port meter ..."
  "set port meter ..."
  And some high level commands created just for 'meter'. Instead I think
  it is better to group the commands, like:
  "port meter [add,del,create,enable,disable] ..."
  "show port meter ..."
  It is already too late but it worth to keep in mind for the possible
  future update.

It seems it should be R|Y|G|D|r|y|g|d R|Y|G|D|r|y|g|d R|Y|G|D|r|y|g|d.
What about just use <g_action> <y_action> <r_action> as in cmd_help_long_parsed?

It should be "set port meter dscp table <port_id> <mtr_id> "
                      "[<dscp_tbl_entry0> <dscp_tbl_entry1> ... <dscp_tbl_entry63>]"?
Because in parse_multi_token_string(), it starts from port_id. Hmmm... The code seems very messy, not inconsistent.

<action0>[ <action1> <action2>]?
Since it seems only 3 actions exist (action_mask & (~0x7UL), check action mask part in parse function).
And each action seems to be G|Y|R|D|g|y|r|d. hmmm. Messy code...

Yes action can be both upper case and lower case, but both does same thing, so I 
chose only uppercase ones to make it more readable.

The "<g_action>" makes it easy understand what the field is for, but for the 
user that doesn't know what is "g_action" or what can be the values "g_action" 
can take, there is no place to get this information. That is why I find it 
useful to provide values can take if they are fixed.

Please see my comment above, copied here:
  - "set port meter dscp table" documented with 'port_id' & 'mtr_id', but
    command itself is not requiring it, can be better to double check the
    intention in the command.

If you check the code, port_id and mtr_id is not there.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix meter commands help strings

[Ferruh Yigit]

Helps strings syntax is "command : description", the 'command' part was
missing, updated command help strings.

Fixes: 281eeb8afc55 ("app/testpmd: add commands for metering and policing")
Fixes: 30ffb4e67ee3 ("app/testpmd: add commands traffic metering and policing")

- "set port meter dscp table" documented with 'port_id' & 'mtr_id', but
  command itself is not requiring it, can be better to double check the

- In command "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> yes|no", it is
  not clear what 'yes|no' is, can be better to have a 'clear' keyword

  "set port meter ..."
  And some high level commands created just for 'meter'. Instead I think
  it is better to group the commands, like:

  It is already too late but it worth to keep in mind for the possible

I still have some concern on this one.
I understand the command itself doesn't include port_id & meter_id.
But this command use (void *)&cmd_set_port_meter_dscp_table_token_string, to take a string from cmd.
And in parser cmd_set_port_meter_dscp_table_parsed(), it will use parse_multi_token_string() to parse this token_string.
static int
parse_multi_token_string(char *t_str, uint16_t *port_id,
	uint32_t *mtr_id, enum rte_color **dscp_table)
{
	char *token;
	uint64_t val;
	int ret;

	/* First token: port id */
	token = strtok_r(t_str, PARSE_DELIMITER, &t_str);
	if (token ==  NULL)
		return -1;

	ret = parse_uint(&val, token);
	if (ret != 0 || val > UINT16_MAX)
		return -1;

	*port_id = val;

	/* Second token: meter id */
	token = strtok_r(t_str, PARSE_DELIMITER, &t_str);
	if (token == NULL)
		return 0;

	ret = parse_uint(&val, token);
	if (ret != 0 || val > UINT32_MAX)
		return -1;

	*mtr_id = val;

	ret = parse_dscp_table_entries(t_str, dscp_table);
	if (ret != 0)
		return -1;

	return 0;
}

In this function, the first thing in that string will be parsed as port id, the second thing will be parsed as meter id and then table entries.
So I think if the helper string is "set port meter dscp table [(dscp_tbl_entry0)...]". This will actually confuse users.
If a user follows the helper and sets command "set port meter dscp table dscp_tbl_entry0", user will get error because the " dscp_tbl_entry0" is treated as portid and there is no meter id provided.

I understand they shouldn't put port id and meter id in token string parse and should be put in command itself. But that's another story.

You are right, first two token of the 'token_string' is parsed as 'port_id' and 
'meter_id', so intention is to have them before 'dscp_table_entries'. I will 
update as you suggested.

Cristian, Jasvider,

Can you please fix the command so that it gets 'port_id' and 'meter_id' as 
separate tokens, instead of it is being part of 'dscp_table_entries'?

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3] app/testpmd: fix meter commands help strings

[Ferruh Yigit]

Helps strings syntax is "command : description", the 'command' part was
missing, updated command help strings.

Fixes: 281eeb8afc55 ("app/testpmd: add commands for metering and policing")
Fixes: 30ffb4e67ee3 ("app/testpmd: add commands traffic metering and policing")
Fixes: e63b50162aa3 ("app/testpmd: clean metering and policing commands")
Cc: stable@dpdk.org

Signed-off-by: Ferruh Yigit <ferruh.yigit@intel.com>
Cc: jasvinder.singh@intel.com
Cc: cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com

- "set port meter dscp table" documented with 'port_id' & 'mtr_id', but
  command itself is not requiring it, can be better to double check the
  intention in the command.
- In command "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> yes|no", it is
  not clear what 'yes|no' is, can be better to have a 'clear' keyword
  there: "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> clear yes|no"
- 'meter' commands seems using many high level commands, that is harder
  to remember when you take all commands into account:
  "show port meter ..."
  "add port meter ..."
  "del port meter ..."
  "create port meter ..."
  "enable port meter ..."
  "disable port meter ..."
  "set port meter ..."
  And some high level commands created just for 'meter'. Instead I think
  it is better to group the commands, like:
  "port meter [add,del,create,enable,disable] ..."
  "show port meter ..."
  It is already too late but it worth to keep in mind for the possible
  future update.

v2:
* Fixed typo, actiono -> action0
* Added more info to help string, like "<variable>(possible values)"

v3:
* Fix the "set port meter dscp table" command according the original
  intention

Subject: [PATCH v3] app/testpmd: fix meter commands help strings

Helps strings syntax is "command : description", the 'command' part was missing, updated command help strings.

Fixes: 281eeb8afc55 ("app/testpmd: add commands for metering and policing")
Fixes: 30ffb4e67ee3 ("app/testpmd: add commands traffic metering and policing")
Fixes: e63b50162aa3 ("app/testpmd: clean metering and policing commands")

- "set port meter dscp table" documented with 'port_id' & 'mtr_id', but
  command itself is not requiring it, can be better to double check the
  intention in the command.
- In command "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> yes|no", it is
  not clear what 'yes|no' is, can be better to have a 'clear' keyword
  there: "show port meter stats <port_id> <mtr_id> clear yes|no"
- 'meter' commands seems using many high level commands, that is harder
  to remember when you take all commands into account:
  "show port meter ..."
  "add port meter ..."
  "del port meter ..."
  "create port meter ..."
  "enable port meter ..."
  "disable port meter ..."
  "set port meter ..."
  And some high level commands created just for 'meter'. Instead I think
  it is better to group the commands, like:
  "port meter [add,del,create,enable,disable] ..."
  "show port meter ..."
  It is already too late but it worth to keep in mind for the possible
  future update.

v2:
* Fixed typo, actiono -> action0
* Added more info to help string, like "<variable>(possible values)"

v3:
* Fix the "set port meter dscp table" command according the original
  intention
