Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] fix VXLAN related rules cleanup and management
Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2018 09:59:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1541843951-31708-1-git-send-email-viacheslavo@mellanox.com> (raw)

The VXLAN related rule cleanup routine queries and gathers all
existing local IP and neigh rules into buffer list. One buffer
may contain multiple rule deletetion commands and is prepared
to send into Netlink as single message. But, if error occurs
for some deletion commands in the buffer, the multiple ACK
message with errors can be send back by the kernel. It breaks
the Netlink communication sequence numbers, because we expect
only one ACK message and it smashes out futher Netlik
communication.

The workaround of this problem is to send rule deletion commands
from buffer in one-by-one fashion and get ACK message for every
command sent. We do not expect too may rules preexist, so there
should not be critical performance degradation at VXLAN outer
interface initialization.
