Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] net/mlx5: limit inner RSS expansion for MPLS
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2021 16:34:48 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <047f5aa4a26b27f25ad9f5733106c503ccd32f87.1625213344.git.jackmin@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1625213344.git.jackmin@nvidia.com>

If user wants to do MPLS inner RSS and only provides pattern
till MPLS without inner items [1], RSS expansion will expand flows
into 13 sub-flows[2] which is too many and it impacts flow insert
rate, stack usage becomes large as well.

This expansion into 13 sub-flows seems not worthy of and it can
be significantly reduced (i.e, 7 sub-flows [3]) by user providing
at least one inner L2/L3 item [4].

[1]:
pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / end actions rss type tcp udp ip
end level 2 / end

[2]:
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / ipv4
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / ipv4 / udp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / ipv4 / tcp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / ipv6

eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv4
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv4 / udp

eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6 / udp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6 / tcp

[3]:

eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv4 / udp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv4 / tcp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6 / udp
eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / ipv6 / tcp

[4]:
pattern eth / ipv4 / udp / mpls / eth / end actions rss type tcp udp ip
level 2 / end
