[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/nfp: add CPP bridge as service

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/nfp: add CPP bridge as service

[Alejandro Lucero]

The Netronome's Network Flow Processor chip is highly programmable
with the goal of processing packets at high speed. Processing units
and other chip components are available from the host through the
PCIe CPP(Command Push Pull bus) interface. The NFP PF PMD configures
a CPP handler for setting up and working with vNICs, perform actions
like link up or down, or accessing extended stats from the MAC component.

There exist NFP host tools which access the NFP components for
programming and debugging but they require the CPP interface. When the
PMD is bound to the PF, the DPDK app owns the CPP interface, so these
host tools can not access the NFP through other means like NFP kernel
drivers.

This patch adds a CPP bridge using the rte_service API which can be
enabled by a DPDK app. Interestingly, DPDK clients like OVS will not
enable specific service cores, but this can be performed with a
secondary process specifically enabling this CPP bridge service and
therefore giving access to the NFP to those host tools.

Hi Alejandro,

Giving build error for 32bits [3], and can you please use logging macros instead
of printf?

We do not support 32 bits. I thought our PMD was not built in that case.

If PMD doesn't support 32 bits, above is OK, I will update my script accordingly.

Yes but issue seems not exactly ppc issue, more like signed - unsigned
comparison. Can you please check if is there any valid issue here?

This is a funny one. NFP_IOCTL_CPP_IDENTIFICATION is not zero, and cmd
could be anything.
And it does work with other compilers!

Talking with a compiler guy in the office, and it is hard to know why the
compiler is triggering an error here. I suspect this is some sort of
endianness mess, and he thinks the compiler could be assuming the cmd
variable after recv call is always negative or positive, and the macro
always being the opposite in powerpc, so the comparison is always true,
what is what the error message says.

Anyway, it is not clear how to fix this. Maybe defining cmd as uint32_t
could help. Any change we can test this before sending another patch
version?

I am using a cross compiler for ppc, it is freely available, you should be able
to get and test with it, or I can test for you if you prefer.

OK. But after the patch I have just sent for removing NFP PMD from 32 bits
builds, nothing is really needed then. Right?

If so, should I send the patch again about the CPP bridge or you can redo
it?

Using 'i686-native-linuxapp-gcc' config, which is for 32-bit, gives following
build error [1] with this patch.

This is mainly just because logging and can be fixed by using %z for size_t and
use PRIx64 similar macros for fixed size variables.

For "cpp_id = (offset >> 40) << 8;" build error you need to use fixed size
version of the variable, like "uint64_t offset"

I did not see any logging error/warning when compiling nor any when using
checkpatch. I have used a gcc 7.3.1 (Ubuntu) and a 8.2.1 (RH). What are you

Hi Thomas,

We aware the build error, but let it because nfp doesn't support 32-bit.

But I just recognized that it is enabled by default on 32-bit default configs,
we should disable them.


Hi Alejandro,

Can you please disable nfp driver explicitly on
'defconfig_i686-native-linuxapp-*' config files, perhaps also on
'defconfig_x86_x32-native-linuxapp-gcc' too?

I will drop the existing patch from next-net.

And if it is possible to fix the build error, specially if it is just for %lu of
the logging, I prefer the fix against the config update, but it is up to you.

Thanks,
ferruh

It does not compile with 32-bit toolchain.

Please check the occurences of %lu, thanks.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/nfp: add CPP bridge as service

[Alejandro Lucero]

The Netronome's Network Flow Processor chip is highly programmable
with the goal of processing packets at high speed. Processing units
and other chip components are available from the host through the
PCIe CPP(Command Push Pull bus) interface. The NFP PF PMD configures
a CPP handler for setting up and working with vNICs, perform actions
like link up or down, or accessing extended stats from the MAC component.

There exist NFP host tools which access the NFP components for
programming and debugging but they require the CPP interface. When the
PMD is bound to the PF, the DPDK app owns the CPP interface, so these
host tools can not access the NFP through other means like NFP kernel
drivers.

This patch adds a CPP bridge using the rte_service API which can be
enabled by a DPDK app. Interestingly, DPDK clients like OVS will not
enable specific service cores, but this can be performed with a
secondary process specifically enabling this CPP bridge service and
therefore giving access to the NFP to those host tools.

v2:
 - Avoid printfs for debugging
 - fix compilation problems for powerpc
