[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] eal: fix querying DPDK version at runtime

[Bruce Richardson]

For using a DPDK application, such as OVS, which is dynamically linked, the
DPDK version in use should always report the actual version, not the
version used at build time. This incorrect behaviour can be seen by
building OVS against one version of DPDK and running it against a later
one. Using "ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch" to query basic info, the
dpdk_version returned will be the build version not the currently running
one - which can be verified using the DPDK telemetry library client.

  $ sudo ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch | grep dpdk_version
  dpdk_version        : "DPDK 20.11.0-rc4"

  $ echo quit | sudo dpdk-telemetry.py
  Connecting to /var/run/dpdk/rte/dpdk_telemetry.v2
  {"version": "DPDK 21.02.0-rc2", "pid": 405659, "max_output_len": 16384}
  -->

To fix this, we need to convert the rte_version() function, and any other
necessary parts of the rte_version.h, to be actual functions in EAL, not
just inlines/macros. The only complication in doing so is that telemetry
library cannot call rte_version() directly, and instead needs the version
string passed in on init.

While new functions are technically supposed to be experimental, I don't
believe it should apply in this case

It is changing the API.
As it is experimental, you just need to mention it in the release notes.

It is the fix. Do you think it should be merged quickly?
Or wait for 21.05?

I don't think I actually need to mention it there, because this API is more
"INTERNAL" than "EXPERIMENTAL". It's called automatically from
rte_eal_init(). I've done up patch http://patches.dpdk.org/patch/87806/
to correct this, including a RN addition. That should remove the need for a
doc update for this patch.

I'm not sure either way to be honest. Given the bug has been around so
long, it's not exactly urgent. On the other hand, to get the fix the user
needs to rebuild their app, so having it sooner is nicer, and will mean it
would make the next LTS point release. Overall, though, I'm fine whichever
you decide.

There is not much help available to close 21.02, so I won't take any risk.
I'll merge this fix in 21.05.

I agree that it's not urgent enough to risk taking in 21.02. Taking it in
21.05 is fine, thanks.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] eal: fix querying DPDK version at runtime

[Bruce Richardson]

For using a DPDK application, such as OVS, which is dynamically linked, the
DPDK version in use should always report the actual version, not the
version used at build time. This incorrect behaviour can be seen by
building OVS against one version of DPDK and running it against a later
one. Using "ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch" to query basic info, the
dpdk_version returned will be the build version not the currently running
one - which can be verified using the DPDK telemetry library client.

  $ sudo ovs-vsctl list Open_vSwitch | grep dpdk_version
  dpdk_version        : "DPDK 20.11.0-rc4"

  $ echo quit | sudo dpdk-telemetry.py
  Connecting to /var/run/dpdk/rte/dpdk_telemetry.v2
  {"version": "DPDK 21.02.0-rc2", "pid": 405659, "max_output_len": 16384}
  -->

To fix this, we need to convert the rte_version() function, and any other
necessary parts of the rte_version.h, to be actual functions in EAL, not
just inlines/macros. The only complication in doing so is that telemetry
library cannot call rte_version() directly, and instead needs the version
string passed in on init.

It breaks SPDK and applications relying on RTE_VERSION in preprocessor
directives.
RTE_VERSION* macros should be left alone, and applications that need
the runtime value should call rte_version().

Yes, sorry for not catching it before merge.

My bad ignoring SPDK build, probably because of other issues there were.

I've sent a fix:
