Anatoly, is it safe to backport this patch to 19.11? It applies and
builds cleanly when cherry-picked:

d1c7c0cdf7ba ("vfio: map contiguous areas in one go")

Shougang and Qi, this patch applies when backported but build fails, as
some internal structures are different. Do you consider this issue a
blocking one for the release and want to do the work to backport the
fixes to 19.11?

01186263c2c7 ("net/ice: fix EEPROM data")

Hi Luca,

Yes, it should be safe - at least i'm not aware of any breakages ever 
being reported so far. Thanks!

Could you please double-check that there's no other patch/change that
depends on it/that it depends on and is missing from 19.11.4-rc1? Given
we wouldn't redo the full regression run, we need to be careful

I'm positive that it's self-contained. It's just a different way of 
iterating through an array :)

This patch can't be applied because the solution depends on updating ice shared code.
I'm not sure the workload and impact of updating shared code. It is a small bug and it is 
not a DPDK main feature. So I think it is not a block issue for release and I don't suggest 
to fix it in 19.11. How do you think of it?

[Govindharajan, Hariprasad]  hi Luca,
The DPDK-19.11.4-RC1 release was tested with OvS 2.13 and master versions for the following devices:
ICE
i40e
ixgbe 
vHost user client
with the following tests:
1)	Performance tests
2)	vHost zero-copy
3)	Flow control
4)	RSS
5)	Partial HW offloading

From the validation side, no issues were seen.

The following covers the functional tests that we ran on Mellanox hardware for this release:
- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- RTE flow and flow_director tests.
  Items: eth / vlan / ipv4 / ipv6 / tcp / udp / icmp / gre / nvgre / vxlan / geneve / ip in ip / mplsoudp / mplsogre
  Actions: drop / queue / rss / mark / flag / jump / count / port_id / raw_encap / raw_decap / vxlan_encap / vxlan_decap / NAT / dec_ttl
- Some RSS tests.
- VLAN stripping and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.

Testing matrix:
- NIC: ConnectX-4 Lx / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.1-0.6.6.0 / Firmware: 14.28.1002
- NIC: ConnectX-5 / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.1-0.6.6.0 / Firmware: 16.28.1002

Compilation tests in the following OS/driver combinations are also passing:
- Ubuntu 20.04 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.1-0.6.6.0.
- Ubuntu 20.04 with rdma-core v31.0.
- Ubuntu 20.04 with rdma-core v28.0.
- Ubuntu 18.04 with rdma-core v17.1.
- Ubuntu 18.04 with rdma-core v31.0 (i386).
- Ubuntu 16.04 with rdma-core v22.6.
- Fedora 32 with rdma-core v30.0.
- CentOS 7 7.8.2003 with rdma-core v31.0.
- CentOS 8 8.2.2004 with rdma-core v31.0.
- RHEL 7.5 with rdma-core v15.
- openSUSE Leap 15.2 with rdma-core v27.1.

We don't see any critical issues blocking the release.

Due to report on OVS failing to build I happened to find that 19.11.4
has massively changed linking.
=> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/znCRR4gpjP/

This was meant to be helpful for sure and I assume is around:
48f7fd27f6 build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking
2d1535d592 build/pkg-config: improve static linking flags
9fb13a12c1 build/pkg-config: output drivers first for static build
59b108d824 build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation
aea915e944 devtools: test static linkage with pkg-config

But overlinking has effectively become underlinking now
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/495845224/buildlog_ubuntu-groovy-amd64.openvswitch_2.13.1-0ubuntu2~ppa1_BUILDING.txt.gz

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/10/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/librte_pmd_ring.a(net_ring_rte_eth_ring.c.o):

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Also as you can see in the pastebin above, CFlags and Libs massively
shrunk and likely too much so.

Given that this should be a stable release I'd ask to back out those
changes so that a test build creates the same .pc file as before -
would that make sense?

Adding some OVS folks on CC.

The request for backporting these actually came from the OVS side, since
they were deemed necessary to enable OVS to switch to use DPDK pkg-config
rather than the older approach using a makefile-based build. However, it
appears you guys were already building OVS using the pkg-config file, and
since this causes issues where there were none, backing it out seems a
prudent choice.

Ian, Sunil, any comments here.

Paging Bruce and Ian - IIRC OVS explicitly asked for that series to be
backported and took a dependency on it, so removing it might cause
breakages for them? Ian?

Bruce, have you see the error reported by Christian before?

Re: [dpdk-stable] [dpdk-dev] 19.11.4 patches review and test

[Pai G, Sunil]

Hi,

Yes , OVS was using pkg-config even before these patches were rolled out.
But it always used to pick the DPDK shared libs by default for OVS even on using the -Bstatic/-Bshared flags.
These patches from Bruce simplify the process from DPDK side without having the user to specify them.
Moreover, with these patches , the problem of shared DPDK libs always being picked instead of static was not seen any more with a bit of changes from the OVS side as well.
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/20200707141126.71414-1-sunil.pai.g@intel.com/ .
The patches for ovs-master are ready as well and will them out soon.

Thanks and Regards,
Pai G, Sunil

I suspect the error is caused by the presence of "-Wl,--no-whole-archive"
immediately after "-Wl,--whole-archive". Now, while the --whole-archive
flag comes from the libdpdk.pc file, I don't know where the
--no-whole-archive comes from to cancel it out. Perhaps someone familiar
with the OVS package build here could suggest a source.

Hi Folks,

From the OVS side there was a question WRT why we couldn't use meson in our Travis tests to build DPDK for OVS supporting 19.11.x, in this case it was related to the changes described by Sunil above and hence why the backport was requested. 

It doesn't have a huge impact on OVS, we can still use 19.11.4 if the patches are removed, however I suspect these changes are also on DPDK main branch at this point and will be part of 20.11? So eventually when we move to 20.11 the same issues may be encountered, maybe that preferable if we are change LTS versions.

From the OVS side we can look to upstream meson support in the dpdk-latest branch and then integrate it when 20.11 is released, but it would be nice to support it before then if possible.

Ian

Hi Luca,

We have tested 19.11.4 and no issues found except known issues.
1. Issue with CX-3/MLX-4 driver with ibquery_pkey() failed.

I'll proceed with a revert of those 5 patches for now, given 19.11.4 is
already a week late - Christian confirms the build issue is fixed after
doing so.

We can then figure out what the underlinking issue is without urgency
in time for 20.11, and then I'll add the patches again.

Hi Sunil, Ian, everyone ..

back  in 19.11.4 these DPDK changes were not picked up as they have
broken builds as discussed here.
Later on the communication was that all this works fine now and
thereby Luca has "reverted the reverts" in 19.11.6 [1].

But today we were made aware that still no OVS 2.13 builds against a
DPDK that has those changes.
Not 2.13.1 as we have it in Ubuntu nor (if it needs some OVS changes
backported) the recent 2.13.3 does build.
They still fail with the very same issue I reported [2] back then.

Unfortunately I have just released 19.11.7 so I can't revert them
there - but OTOH reverting and counter reverting every other release
seems wrong anyway.

I wanted to ask if there is a set of patches that OVS would need to
backport to 2.13.x to make this work?
If they could be identified and prepared Distros could use them on
2.13.3 asap and 2.13.4 could officially release them for OVS later on.

But for that we'd need a hint which OVS changes that would need to be.
All I know atm is from the testing reports on DPDK it seems that OVS
2.14.3 and 2.15 are happy with the new DPDK code.
Do you have pointers on what 2.13.3 would need to get backported to
work again in regard to this build issue.

You would need to use partial contents from patch :
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/1608142365-26215-1-git-send-email-ian.stokes@intel.com/

If you'd like me to send patches which would work with 2.13, 2.14, I'm ok with that too.[keeping only those parts from patch which fixes the issue you see.]
But we must ensure it doesn’t cause problems for OVS too.
Your thoughts Ilya ?

It is wrong indeed, but the main question here is why these patches was
backported to stable release in a first place?

Looking at these patches, they are not actual bug fixes but more like
"nice to have" features that additionally breaks the way application
links with DPDK.  Stuff like that should not be acceptable to the stable
release without a strong justification or, at least, testing with actual
applications.

Since we already have a revert of revert, revert of revert of revert
doesn't seem so bad.

We had more fixes on top of this particular patch and I'd like to not
cherry-pick and re-check all of this again.  For users stable releases
should be transparent, i.e. should not have disruptive changes that will
break their ability to build with version of a library that they would
like to use.

What are exact changes we're talking about?  Will it still be possible
to build OVS with older versions of a stable 19.11 if these changes applied?

I agree, we had more fixes on top of this. It would be risky to cherry-pick.
So it might be a better option to revert.

I agree, but TBH IIRC these changes were initially by OVS people :-)
One could chase down the old talks between Luca and the requesters, but I don't
think that gains us that much.

I agree, as far as I assessed the situation it would mean the revert
of the following list.
And since that is a lot of "reverts" in the string, to be clear it means that
those original changes would not be present anymore in 19.11.x.

f49248a990 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking""
39586a4cf0 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: improve static linking flags""
906e935a1f Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: output drivers first for
static build""
deebf95239 Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation""
a3bd9a34bf Revert "Revert "build: always link whole DPDK static libraries""
d4bc124438 Revert "Revert "devtools: test static linkage with pkg-config""

But to avoid going back&forth I'd prefer to have a signed-off on that
approach from:
- Luca (for 19.11.6 which has added the changes)
- Bruce (for being involved in the old&new case in general)
- Thomas (for general master maintainer thoughts)

And finally, I wonder if I'd just push those to the 19.11 git branch OR should
also release a 19.11.8 with just those changes sometime soon - opinions?

If this is what is needed to ensure OVS can continue to use this release

This was requested by OVS, so if they don't need it anymore it's fine
by me as well

I am not sure to understand the full story,
but I am a bit worried that our release is dictated by
a single "user" (project using DPDK).

Please do you have links of discussion history?

Sure, fair to ask for more detail :-)

> Please do you have links of discussion history?

I ordered the events by time and added links to those occasions that I
could find:

July 2020            - Initial request by OVS - *1
July 2020            - Initial queuing     -
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2020-July/024248.html
September 2020 - Issues identified; changes reverted    -
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2020-September/024796.html
October 2020      - Re-applying early in 19.11.6 cycle    - *1
November 2020  - Tests didn't spot it with 19.11.6 as OVS 2.14.x (not
the 2.13 LTS) was tested    -
https://doc.dpdk.org/guides-19.11/rel_notes/release_19_11.html#id16
March 2021         - Same issue re-found in >=19.11.6    -
http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2021-March/029418.html

*1 - Luca and I looked for logs, there are no links that I'd know of
and Luca said it might have come up as a request during a meeting.

First, I agree to revert the changes again if it causes a regression.
Second, do we know the root cause of the issue?
Is it a problem with the version of pkg-config?
Is it OK with DPDK 20.11?

About the process, I see multiple issues:

1/ Some patches were backported for OVS only,
but it could break other applications.

2/ It is not clear whether the patches were really needed in 19.11.

3/ There is no trace of backport requests in the mailing list.

So I feel we should be stricter on the reasons for a backport.
Note: I am not blaming anyone. Everybody tries to do the best.
I believe sharing requests and discussions on the mailing list
could help in the decision process.

Thanks for all the work.

I've test built a few of those already.
- 19.11.4 (before the patches were applied)
  - OVS 2.13.1 worked
- 19.11.6/19.11.7 (patches not yet reverted)
  - OVS 2.13.1 fails
  - OVS 2.13.3 fails
- 19.11.7 patches reverted
  - OVS 2.13.3 works

I'd also be happy to hear about OVS 2.14 test builds, so yeah if you
could do so  @Sunil that would be great.
For the code, I've not yet pushed it to "real dpdk-stable" until we
are sure about it, but already to:
  https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue/tree/19.11
If you happen to build on Ubuntu there is a 19.11.7 + reverts already
available here

As we found it even breaks (older) OVS, but importantly the OVS LTS
which has the highest chance to be in use together with DPDK 19.11 in
many places :-/

Tested 19.11 series with OVS 2.14 and observations are like your's Christian.
19.11.4 and 19.11.7 -with patches reverted works fine, 19.11.6/7(patches not yet reverted) cause linking errors.
