[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/5] app/testpmd: clock gettime call in throughput calculation

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH 1/5] app/testpmd: clock gettime call in throughput calculation

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

The throughput calculation requires a counter that measures
passing of time. The PMU cycle counter does not do that. This
results in incorrect throughput numbers when
RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU is enabled. Use clock_gettime
system call to calculate the time passed since last call.

It is not clear from git commit on why PMU cycle counter does not do that?
On dpdk bootup, we are figuring out the Hz value based on PMU counter cycles.
What is the missing piece here?

IMO, PMU counter should have less latency and more granularity than
clock_getime.

As I understand Linux kernel saves the PMU state and restores it every time a thread is scheduled out and in. So, when the thread is scheduled out the PMU cycles are not counted towards that thread. The thread that prints the statistics issues good amount of system calls and I am guessing it is getting scheduled out. So, it is reporting very low cycle count.

In general, agree. In this particular calculation the granularity has not mattered much (for ex: numbers are fine with 50Mhz generic counter and 2.5Ghz CPU). The latency also does not matter as it is getting amortized over a large number of packets. So, I do not see it affecting the reported PPS/BPS numbers.

So, when the thread is scheduled out the PMU cycles are not counted towards that thread. The thread that prints the statistics issues good amount of system calls and I am guessing it is getting scheduled out. So, it is reporting very low cycle count.

OK. Probably add this info in git commit.

> In general, agree. In this particular calculation the granularity has not mattered much (for ex: numbers are fine with 50Mhz generic counter and 2.5Ghz CPU). The latency also does not matter as it is getting amortized over a large number of packets. So, I do not see it affecting the reported PPS/BPS numbers.

Reasonable to use clock_gettime for the control thread.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 1/5] app/testpmd: clock gettime call in throughput calculation

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

The throughput calculation requires a counter that measures
passing of time. However, the kernel saves and restores the PMU
state when a thread is unscheduled and scheduled. This ensures
that the PMU cycles are not counted towards a thread that is
not scheduled. Hence, when RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU is enabled,
the PMU cycles do not represent the passing of time.
This results in incorrect calculation of throughput numbers.
Use clock_gettime system call to calculate the time passed since
last call.

Does this mean 'rte_rdtsc()' is broken for Arm?
Wouldn't it cause more serious issue than testpmd throughput stats?

I guess 'rte_rdtsc()' is faster, but since this is not in the data path, I think
it is OK.

The calculation also fixes other issue in the stats.
With previous method, if the sampling between two stats is a little long,
"diff_pkts_rx * rte_get_tsc_hz()" can overflow and produce wrong 'bps'.

Flow generator is for Tx, what is the point of getting stats for the Rx?

No objection to add the burst stats to more forwarding engines, but this config
does not exist for the meson and make is going away.

We need to figure out how to support this option with meson before spreading it out.

It depends on the kernel I think. IMO, for isolated CPUs it should be fine. It is currently getting fixed through a kernel patch. Once the kernel patch is up streamed, we will make the required changes in DPDK.

Within DPDK, it does not seem to be used for anything critical (I have fixed one).

Dharmik is working on making this a run time flag that can be enabled or disabled from command line (as was suggested in other emails). That would remove the requirement on meson.

This compile time flag existed before and this patch fixes a bug. IMO, we should separate the issue of how to enable this flag using meson from this bug fix.

Is there any reason for this mode to receive the packets?
The reason I ask is, the core cycles include the RX call as well. So, we have cycles/packet that includes the RX call and burst stats that does not show the RX burst stats.
Do we need to remove the call to rte_eth_rx_burst API?

Cool, thanks.
Based on that work, shouldn't we need to update these lines again, instead why
not do the update after Dharmik's patch (or in that patch) based on what the new
way is?

I know this flag exists before, but what is the bug this patch fixes? I thought
this patch enables burst stat for "noisy vnf" forwarding engine.

The implementation receives packets and frees them immediately.
I assume the Rx is implemented in case port receives packets, like if other end
forwards the generated packets back to same port.
Yes it consumes cycles for Rx but received packets are ignored, I am not sure if
received packets have any meaning in flowgen to get additional burst stats.

If one enables 'RTE_TEST_PMD_RECORD_BURST_STATS' expecting the burst stats for 'noisy vnf' engine, it is not reported today.

I tried to find more info, there is not a lot. The original commit message says 'it is similar to 'txonly' engine, but will generate multiple L4 flows'.
Your assumption seems reasonable to me. In that case, I think it makes sense to include 'core cycles' only for TX. Otherwise, there is not enough information to debug any issues.

> received packets have any meaning in flowgen to get additional burst stats.
Please see above, I think we need to adjust how the 'core cycles' are counted in this case.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3 1/3] app/testpmd: clock gettime call in throughput calculation

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

The throughput calculation requires a counter that measures
passing of time. However, the kernel saves and restores the PMU
state when a thread is unscheduled and scheduled. This ensures
that the PMU cycles are not counted towards a thread that is
not scheduled. Hence, when RTE_ARM_EAL_RDTSC_USE_PMU is enabled,
the PMU cycles do not represent the passing of time.
This results in incorrect calculation of throughput numbers.
Use clock_gettime system call to calculate the time passed since
last call.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3 2/3] app/testpmd: fix burst percentage calculation

[Honnappa Nagarahalli]

The burst % calculation can over flow due to multiplication.
Fix the multiplication and increase the size of variables to
64b.

Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
