Function rte_flow_expand_rss() is used to expand a flow rule with
partial pattern into several rules, to ensure all relevant packets
are matched.
It uses utility function rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete(), to check
if the last valid item in the flow rule pattern needs to be completed.
For example the pattern "eth / ipv4 proto is 17 / end" will be completed
with a "udp" item.
This function returns "void" item in two cases:
1) The last item has empty spec, for example "eth / ipv4 / end".
2) The last itme has spec that can't be expanded for RSS.
   For example the pattern "eth / ipv4 proto is 47 / end" ends with IPv4
   item that has next protocol GRE.

In both cases the flow rule may be expanded, but in the second case such
expansion may create rules with invalid pattern.
For example "eth / ipv4 proto is 47 / udp / end".
In such a case the flow rule should not be expanded.

This patch updates function rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete().
Return value RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_END is used to indicate the flow rule
should not be expanded.
In such a case, rte_flow_expand_rss() will return with the original flow
rule only, without any expansion.

Which is also based on the requested RSS type. Right? If no RSS type is set then
the issue will not appear.

Only if UDP rss type is selected, if TCP is selected then it will be TCP right?

Typo in itme -> item?

You mean that in both cases the flow will be expanded, that is the issue.
That in the second case the flow shouldn't be expended.

I don't think this is the correct solution.
The idea of the rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete function is to add
the last item so later the parsing will be based on items regardless of spec.
This mean the function already support pattern with the following format:
Eth / ipv4 / gre. What the result will be? Will it be expended? 

I think the solution should be that the function will return the correct item. Assuming there
is such an item.

Best,
Ori

Flow rule with such pattern will not be expanded using the current mlx5_support_expansion array.

This is what the current solution does.

better to add the "actions rss types udp" part of the rule to clarify why the
original rule will be completed with 'udp'.

Can you please clarify what does function returning 'void' mean, so people won't
need to dig the code to find out.

OK, got the problem.

But there is only limited number of check in
'rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete()', like for ipv4 it checks the proto
udp/tcp/ip. What if other proto is part of rule, won't sending END cause the
initial problem of missing pattern.

I mean, for following rule,
... pattern eth / ipv4 proto is 47 / end actions rss type gre end ...

With your update, rule is not expanded and the 'gre' pattern is not added, won't
this cause not matching the rule for rss?


I may be missing something here, or if not I am sure you can fix it,
BUT I am not sure if this is right way to proceed.

This expansion operation is complex, it is hard to verify it without debugging,
and I can see it has been fixed a few times already.
It is trying to construct the correct pattern by trying to understand the user's
intention.
Overall it has two problems I think,
1) It is hard to make it correct, and not sure if we can rely on the user input
to create *correct* patterns.
2) Only mlx is using this function  (and mlx developed and acked it), so other
vendors doesn't try to expand the rules, so same rule may work different for
different PMDs (assuming with same HW capabilities).
Like just giving 'ip' pattern and request 'udp' rss will fail on Intel but will
work on mlx because of this expansion.

What about other two alternatives:
a) If the rule doesn't work, return error. stop. user should fix it. Don't try
to expand or fix the rule implicitly.

b) If mlx is strong on having the expansion, what about moving it to the PMD. It
won't cause more defects for others, cleans the common code and highlights that
this behavior is unique to a vendor.
Unless there are any other vendor willing to use it. Or is it part of the
rte_flow contract already, @Ori, do you know if this expansion behavior
documented anywhere?


Thanks,
ferruh

* [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 1/2] ethdev: fix RSS flow expansion in case of mismatch

Function rte_flow_expand_rss() is used to expand a flow rule with
partial pattern into several rules, to ensure all relevant packets
are matched.
It uses utility function rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete(), to check
if the last valid item in the flow rule pattern needs to be completed.
For example the pattern "eth / ipv4 proto is 17 / end" will be completed
with a "udp" item.
This function returns "void" item in two cases:
1) The last item has empty spec, for example "eth / ipv4 / end".
2) The last itme has spec that can't be expanded for RSS.
   For example the pattern "eth / ipv4 proto is 47 / end" ends with IPv4
   item that has next protocol GRE.

In both cases the flow rule may be expanded, but in the second case such
expansion may create rules with invalid pattern.
For example "eth / ipv4 proto is 47 / udp / end".
In such a case the flow rule should not be expanded.

This patch updates function rte_flow_expand_rss_item_complete().
Return value RTE_FLOW_ITEM_TYPE_END is used to indicate the flow rule
should not be expanded.
In such a case, rte_flow_expand_rss() will return with the original flow
rule only, without any expansion.
