[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 0/5]: Add LRO support to ixgbe PMD

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 0/5]: Add LRO support to ixgbe PMD

[Vlad Zolotarov]

This series adds the missing flow for enabling the LRO in the ethdev and
adds a support for this feature in the ixgbe PMD. There is a big hope that this
initiative is going to be picked up by some Intel developer that would add the LRO support
to other Intel PMDs. ;)

The series starts with some cleanup work in the code the final patch (the actual adding of
the LRO support) is going to touch/use/change. There are still quite a few issues in the ixgbe
PMD code left but they have to be a matter of a different series and I've left a few "TODO" 
remarks in the code.

The LRO ("RSC" in Intel's context) PMD completion handling code follows the same design as the
corresponding Linux and FreeBSD implementation: pass the aggregation's cluster HEAD buffer to
the NEXTP entry of the software ring till EOP is met.

HW configuration follows the corresponding specs: this feature is supported only by x540 and
82599 PF devices.

The feature has been tested with seastar TCP stack with the following configuration on Tx side:
   - MTU: 400B
   - 100 concurrent TCP connections.

The results were:
   - Without LRO: total throughput: 0.12Gbps, coefficient of variance: 1.41%
   - With LRO:    total throughput: 8.21Gbps, coefficient of variance: 0.59%

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 1/5] ixgbe: Cleanups

[Vlad Zolotarov]

   - Removed the not needed casting.
   - Use the rte_le_to_cpu_xx()/rte_cpu_to_le_xx() when reading/setting HW
     ring descriptor fields. There were a few places where fields were accessed/written
     directly, which would break on big endian platforms like Power PC.
   - ixgbe_dev_rx_init(): shorten the lines by defining a local alias variable to access
                          &dev->data->dev_conf.rxmode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 2/5] ixgbe: Bug fix: Properly configure Rx CRC stripping for x540 devices

[Vlad Zolotarov]

According to x540 spec chapter 8.2.4.8.9 CRCSTRIP field of RDRXCTL should
be configured to the same value as HLREG0.RXCRCSTRP.

Clearing the RDRXCTL.RSCFRSTSIZE field for x540 is not required by the spec
but seems harmless.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 3/5] ixgbe: Code refactoring

[Vlad Zolotarov]

    - ixgbe_rx_alloc_bufs():
       - Reset the rte_mbuf fields only when requested.
       - Take the RDT update out of the function.
       - Add the stub when RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_RX_ALLOW_BULK_ALLOC is not defined.
    - ixgbe_recv_scattered_pkts():
       - Take the code that updates the fields of the cluster's HEAD buffer into
         the inline function.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 5/5] ixgbe: Add LRO support

[Vlad Zolotarov]

    - Only x540 and 82599 devices support LRO.
    - Add the appropriate HW configuration.
    - Add RSC aware rx_pkt_burst() handlers:
       - Implemented bulk allocation and non-bulk allocation versions.
       - Add LRO-specific fields to rte_eth_rxmode, to rte_eth_dev_data
         and to igb_rx_queue.
       - Use the appropriate handler when LRO is requested.

This is an internal decision and should not be exposed in the API.

This comment screams "this is broken".
Why not get proper architecture independent barriers in DPDK first.

This series is orthogonal to the issue above. I just couldn't stand to 
mention this ugliness when I noticed it on the way.
Note that although this is obviously not the right way to write this 
kind of code it is still not a bug and most likely the performance 
implications are minimal here.
The only overhead is that there may be read "too much" data from the 
descriptor that we may not actually need. The descriptor is 16 bytes so 
this doesn't seem to be a critical issue.

So, fixing the above issue may wait, especially since the same s..t may 
be found in other Intel PMDs (see i40e for example). Fixing this issue 
should be a matter of a massive cleanup series that cover all the 
relevant PMDs. Of course we may start with ixgbe but even in this single 
PMD there are at least 3 non-LRO related functions that have to be 
fixed, so IMHO even fixing ONLY ixgbe should be a matter of a separate 
series.

I was unaware that checkpatch rules apply here - at least looking at the 
current code it looks like it... ;)
But I'm all for it! I'll fix all the issues and respin.

Thanks.

C11 has arch independent memory barriers, so this can be as simple as 
-std=gnu11 (default in gcc 5, anyway).

Not only do we get the barriers for free, but they are also properly 
integrated with the compiler, so for example a release barrier won't 
stop the compiler from hoisting a later accesses to before the store, or 
cause spurious reloads, due to the memory clobber.

Checkpatch doesn't generally have to apply. But is good and useful tool
to find obvious style gaffs.

Just don't let it rule your world

In userspace-rcu and kernel there is a simple macro that would make this
kind of code more sane.

What about adding:

#define rte_access_once(x)  (*(volatile typeof(x) *)&(x))

Then doing
            rxdp = rte_access_once(rx_ring + idx);

This workaround doesn't address the described above issue - it just 
hides it inside a macro, which is even uglier.
The main reason I haven't fixed this issue in (at least) a function I've 
added is that the hw->rx_ring (HW ring) is defined as volatile and this 
fact is used all over the file in different places and all such places 
have to be fixed if I drop the "volatile" qualifier which should be the 
first thing to do.
