[dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix loopback for DV queue

[Bing Zhao]

When switching to the Devx interface, the kernel driver behavior may
be different from using Verbs. The Tx loopback cannot work properly
even if the Tx and Rx queues are configured with loopback attribute.
To support self loopback for Tx, a Verbs dummy queue pair needs to
be created to trigger the kernel to enable the loopback.

This is only required when TIR is created for Rx and loopback is
needed. Only CQ and QP are needed for this case, no WQ(RQ) needs to
be created.

This requirement comes from bugzilla 312, more details can refer to:
https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645

I mean when changing the Rxq from Verbs API to Devx API.

[Slava Ovsiienko]

Hi, Thomas

> How do we switch?

Historically mlx5 created Queues and other HW objects with Verbs.
Now we are migrating ("switched") to DevX - queues are being created with DevX calls.
If there is no E-Switch - the new DevX approach is engaged,
for E-Switch configurations we still use Verbs.

With best regards,
Slava

OK this is what I thought, but it is not clear in the commit message.
We could think it is the user switching a queue :)
Please reword by comparing Verbs and DevX without saying "switch".

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2] net/mlx5: fix loopback for DV queue

[Bing Zhao]

In the past, all the queues and other hardware objects were created
through Verbs interface. Currently, most objects creation are
migrated to Devx interface by default, including queues. Only when
the DV is disabled by device arg or eswitch is enabled, are all or
some of the objects created through Verbs interface.

When using Devx interface to create queues, the kernel driver
behavior is different from using Verbs. The Tx loopback cannot work
properly even if the Tx and Rx queues are configured with loopback
attribute. To fix the support self loopback for Tx, a Verbs dummy
queue pair needs to be created to trigger the kernel to enable the
global loopback capability.

This is only required when TIR is created for Rx and loopback is
needed. Only CQ and QP are needed for this case, no WQ(RQ) needs to
be created.

This requirement comes from bugzilla 645, more details can be found
in the bugzilla link.

[dpdk-stable] [PATCH v3] net/mlx5: fix loopback for DV queue

[Bing Zhao]

In the past, all the queues and other hardware objects were created
through Verbs interface. Currently, most of the objects creation are
migrated to Devx interface by default, including queues. Only when
the DV is disabled by device arg or eswitch is enabled, all or some
of the objects are created through Verbs interface.

When using Devx interface to create queues, the kernel driver
behavior is different from the case using Verbs. The Tx loopback
cannot work properly even if the Tx and Rx queues are configured
with loopback attribute. To fix the support self loopback for Tx, a
Verbs dummy queue pair needs to be created to trigger the kernel to
enable the global loopback capability.

This is only required when TIR is created for Rx and loopback is
needed. Only CQ and QP are needed for this case, no WQ(RQ) needs to
be created.

This requirement comes from bugzilla 645, more details can be found
in the bugzilla link.

Bugzilla ID: 645

Fixes: 6deb19e1b2d2 ("net/mlx5: separate Rx queue object creations")
