[PATCH] app/testpmd: fix secondary process cannot dump packet

[peng1x.zhang]

From: Peng Zhang <peng1x.zhang@intel.com>

The origin design is whether testpmd is primary or not, if state of
receive queue is stop, then packets will not be dumped for show.
While to secondary process, receive queue will not be set up, and state
will still be stop even if testpmd is started. So packets of stated
secondary process cannot be dumped for show.

The current design is to secondary process state of queue will be set
to start after testpmd is started. Then packets of started secondary
process can be dumped for show.

I'm not sure why it is correct to assume that deferred queue is
not yet started.

+1.

We should also consider whether the queue state can be changed in secondary.
The 'rx_conf->rx_deferred_start' is the data in secondary.
Why not use 'dev->data->rx_queue_state[]'.

In fact, the issue you memtioned was introduced the following patch:
Fixes: 3c4426db54fc ("app/testpmd: do not poll stopped queues")

The root cause of this issue is that the default value of Rx/Tx queue state
maintained by testpmd is 'RTE_ETH_QUEUE_STATE_STOPPED'. As a result,
secondary doesn't start polling thread to receive packets when start packet
forwarding. And now, secondary cannot receive and send any packets.

Could you fix it together?

RE: [PATCH] app/testpmd: fix secondary process cannot dump packet

[Zhang, Peng1X]

Hi,
In fact, the patch is aim to fix this issue that secondary process cannot dump packet after start testpmd. 
This issue is induced by commit id is 3c4426db54fc ("app/testpmd: do not poll stopped queues"). After 
secondary process start, the default value of Rx/Tx queue state maintained by testpmd is 
'RTE_ETH_QUEUE_STATE_STOPPED', the 'fsm[sm_id]->disabled' flag will set true according to queues 
state, then packet cannot forward and dump. 

The reason why not use 'dev->data->rx_queue_state' is whether queue state is start or stop in primary 
process depend on rx_conf->rx_deferred_start after start testpmd. And after having started testpmd, 
queue state can be controlled by command for example 'port x rxq x start'. 
Should we align with the same behavior of queues state for primary and secondary process after start testpmd?

I get your meaning.
However, failing to dump packet isn't the first exception,
and the first one is that testpmd doesn't call
'struct fwd_engine::packet_fwd()' to receive or send packet.
So, I think you should describe and resolve this problem
from this point. This patch cannot completely resolve this
problem. The Tx queue state should also be added here.

If primary process stops a queue, but secondary doesn't know.
we have to simplify this queue state problem like you momentioned
if we don't have a good idea.

@Andrew, what do you think?

AFAIU, dev->data->rx_queue_state should be aligned with
rx_conf->rx_deferred_start.
The reason why testpmd manages the queue state itself in the offending patch
is that not all PMDs implement `rte_eth_rx/tx_queue_info_get()`
and ethdev won't return `dev->data->rx_queue_state` in this case.

Hi Song,
Currently this patch is just fix the issue detected for rx queue on secondary process.
Later patch for tx queue will be submit.

@Andrew, what's your opinion about the solution of this patch?

Firstly, the Rx packet dump failure is not displayed in your commit log.

In addition, even if this patch is aimed to fix the Rx issue on 
secondary process,
it doesn't work well when if testpmd run in 'mac' or 'swap' forwarding 
mode, right?
Because it is also affected by the Tx queue state. Therefore, it is 
better to place
the modification of Rx and Tx queue state in the same patch to fix this 
issue.

@Peng1X, @Andrew and @Thomas
Currently, the secondary process cannot send and receive packets.
It is suggested that this problem should be solved quickly.
After all, 22.07 will be released soon.

If the problem is generic, it is better to find generic solution
rather than concentrate on one aspect of the problem.

IMHO the patch is simply incorrect since it uses
rx_deferred_start incorrectly. The attribute does not say if
an Rx queue is started or stopped right now.

I'm sorry to say, but multi-process support in testpmd is not well-
thought. So, it is hard to suggest a good solution. I think that trying
to mirror state in secondary testpmd process is a bad idea. It could
become out-of-sync by definition. So, I'd either share testpmd state or
use state from ethdev (which is located in shared memory).
However, it sounds like a long story and non-trivial changes which are
too late at the current release cycle state. See below.

As a simple fix which should work in assumption that everything is
started before secondary process start-up, I'd just set state to
RTE_ETH_QUEUE_STATE_STARTED.

Current description is confusing. Please refine the commit log to define the issue clearly.

[PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix incorrect queues state of secondary process

[peng1x.zhang]

From: Peng Zhang <peng1x.zhang@intel.com>

Primary process could set up queues state correctly when starting port,
but under multi-process scenario, "stream_init" function would get wrong
queues state for secondary process.

This commit is to get queues state from ethdev which is located in
shared memory.

To get the queue state, the array rx_queue_state[] should be indexed by the queue number.
Using fs->rx_port may not give desired queue's state.

Same as rx queue above. We might need to root cause the issue further.

RE: [PATCH v2] app/testpmd: fix incorrect queues state of secondary process

[Zhang, Peng1X]

Hi Aman Deep,

Thanks for your comment, I will follow it. And root cause is to secondary process, it cannot get queue state directly, but from share memory. So when starting port, secondary process cannot get correct queue state even if queue has been started.

[PATCH v3] app/testpmd: fix incorrect queues state of secondary process

[Peng Zhang]

Primary process could set up queues state correctly when starting port,
while secondary process not. Under multi-process scenario, "stream_init"
function would get wrong queues state for secondary process.

This commit is to get queues state from ethdev which is located in
shared memory.

Suggest that an API in ethdev layer can be encapsulated to obtain the 
device Rx/Tx queue state.
Both primary and secondary process get or set queue state by this API.

Could the logic be put in stream_init() like this?

It keeps with the function pointer model object style model in that code.
Also, it makes testpmd more dependent on data structures that should be
hidden and internal only (rte_eth_devices).

'strean_init' is a function pointer, putting this logic in will produce a lot of similar redundant code in all forwarding modules, like 'iofwd' 'macfwd'  and etc.
It's better to hide 'rte_eth_devices' from testpmd, but this requires an API at the EAL layer to access the queue state,
'rte_eth_rx/tx_queue_info_get()' can not get queue's state now.
