[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch set adds support for FTAG based forwarding in fm10k. This feature
is a particularity of fm10k, so I add an introduction for it in fm10k.rst.
A FTAG unit test is kept internally for feature testing, it's not included
in the patch set due to the particularity.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch enables reading sglort info into mbuf for RX and inserting
an FTAG at the beginning of the packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field
selected from rte_mbuf structure for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to turn ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FM10K_FTAG_FWD``
to y in common_linuxapp or common_bsdapp. Currently this feature is supported
only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is read-only for VF.

So here if somebody enable FTAG, when compile, but he use VF, what will
happen? We'd better to give a error message when he try to use VF with FTAG.

Yes, we'd better to give an error message and return failure in this use case, I'll
rework the patch. Thanks for your comment.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 0/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

v2:
* Gave an error message for VF FTAG use case.

* Added a notice in the doc to emphasize that application should ensure
  an appropriate FTAG for every frame in FTAG based forwarding mode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch enables reading sglort info into mbuf for RX and inserting
an FTAG at the beginning of the packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field
selected from rte_mbuf structure for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to turn ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FM10K_FTAG_FWD``
to y in common_linuxapp or common_bsdapp. Currently this feature is supported
only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is read-only for VF.

Yes, PMD_INIT_LOG has already included a "\n". I will remove it.

Yes, "-ENOTSUP" is meaningful, thanks for your comments, I'll fix it in v3.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

v3:
* Removed "\n" in PMD_INIT_LOG.

* Returned "-ENOTSUP" instead of -1 in VF FTAG use case.

v2:
* Gave an error message for VF FTAG use case.

* Added a notice in the doc to emphasize that application should ensure
  an appropriate FTAG for every frame in FTAG based forwarding mode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch enables reading sglort info into mbuf for RX and inserting
an FTAG at the beginning of the packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field
selected from rte_mbuf structure for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to turn ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FM10K_FTAG_FWD``
to y in common_linuxapp or common_bsdapp. Currently this feature is supported
only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is read-only for VF.

Any comments on this patch?

My thoughts: is there a way in which this could be done without adding in a new
build time config option?

Bruce, it's simpler to explain that build time options are forbidden to
enable such options.
Or the terrific kid's approach: one day, the Big Build-Option Eater will come
and will eat every undecided features! ;)

This feature is trying to use FTAG (a unique tech in fm10k) instead of mac/vlan
to forward packets. App need a way to tell PMD driver that which forwarding
style it would like to use. 
So, the best option is to let packets carry a flag in mbuf to tell drive in fast path. 
You can see that this is unique to fm10k and we thought community won't like to see 
this flag introduced into mbuf. If you do agree, we can introduce a new flag.
So, we step backwards and assume customer will use static configurations to enable
this feature. After it is enabled, we'll assume app will use FTAG for all packets.

Why not just specify this in the port configuration at setup time?

Why does it need to be specified per-mbuf? The existing config flag added is
global, so a per-mbuf flag shouldn't be needed to get equivalent behaviour.

Yes, but instead of compile time option, why not port config-time option instead?

Please educate me. I think the port configuration flags are also common to all PMD
Drivers. Is it possible to add a flag like "RTE_USE_FTAG" and pass to PMD driver?

They are. 
For something PMD specific, like FTAG, it's always a challenge, and I don't know
off the top of my head if there is a simple option. However, given the choice
between an mbuf flag and a port config flag, I'd always choose the former.
Other alternatives would be to have a fm10k specific API in the fm10k driver alone.

I'll let Thomas as ethdev maintainer comment if he has other suggestions as to
how to handle this case. I suspect this won't be the first device-specific 
piece of functionality we need to deal with.

Whatever method we choose, we have to find a way for the user to express his need
for FTAG, it maybe a build time config option, or a port config flag (no such flag now),
or a fast path flag in mbuf (no such flag now) etc. For the customer Topsec's use case,
they use FTAG for all the TX packets, so all the above methods (per build config, per
port config, per mbuf config) can meet their need. Since the pmd frame work is for
common, it's hard to add new fields only for one specific NIC, so I add a build time
config and make an introduction in the doc.

Thanks for the discussion, Thomas, do you have any suggestions?

BTW, I have found the patch needs to be rebased on head of dpdk-next-net/rel_16_04 since several
fm10k patches were applied recently.

Xiao

I don't understand why you say this feature is specific to fm10k. Can we
imagine another NIC having this capability?
I think it must be an port configuration, as Bruce suggested.
What about a field in struct rte_eth_conf?

As you know, fm10k has a switch logic between the Mac and Phy, every packets
Sent out from the host will be switched inside the NIC, other NICs don't have
a switch inside, and the FTAG feature is related to the switch function.

As introduced in the second patch:
The FM10K family of NICs support the addition of a Fabric Tag (FTAG) to carry
special information. The FTAG is placed at the beginning of the frame, it contains
information such as where the packet comes from and goes, and the vlan tag. In
FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch logic forwards packets according to
glort (global resource tag) information, rather than the mac and vlan table.
So this is a feature specific to fm10k.

If it is fm10k specific, how about just adding a public function to the fm10k
driver to turn it on. The user app will be non-portable across NICs, but
that's the price of using nic-specific features.

What about using a devargs ?
Something like :
-w xxxx:xx:xx.x,enable_ftag=1

The application still needs to know about this to enable it, but that
sounds better to me.
The only issue is that it can't work with hotplug at the moment.

I also agree with the devargs solution, in this way, the build time config can
be removed and we don't need to add extra fields into ethdev.
I'll rework the patch, thanks for the suggestions.

No I still don't think you should consider it specific to fm10k.
But yes it is specific to a switch device.
I'm OK to have a structure for switch configuration in ethdev.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

v4:
* Removed the build time config option, used devargs to config FTAG.
* Rebased on head of dpdk-next-net/rel_16_04 branch.

v3:
* Removed "\n" in PMD_INIT_LOG.
* Returned "-ENOTSUP" instead of -1 in VF FTAG use case.

v2:
* Gave an error message for VF FTAG use case.
* Added a notice in the doc to emphasize that application should ensure
  an appropriate FTAG for every frame in FTAG based forwarding mode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 1/3] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch enables reading sglort info into mbuf for RX and inserting
an FTAG at the beginning of the packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field
selected from rte_mbuf structure for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to pass a devargs parameter to eal
for fm10k device like "-w 0000:84:00.0,enable_ftag=1". Currently this
feature is supported only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is
read-only for VF.

With strstr(), chenable_ftag=12 will work :)
Please check how to use kvargs.

OK, it's better to standardize the args string processing. I'll rework it.

It is good to see the DPDK keeping up with the leading edge of hardware
support.

My issue is that devargs are the Linux module parameters method of
configuration in the DPDK world.  They are an API only a developer
would love..

 1. It has to be done at boot
 2. Applications have to rewrite (or expect customer) to pass args
 3. Can't be changed at runtime
 4. Can't be selected on per device basis.

Please find a better way.

DPDK supports passing string parameter (devargs) for every pci device to EAL, it's like:
"./test -w 84:00.0,enable_ftag=1 -w 86:00.0,enable_ftag=1 -c f -n 4".
We have discussed (in v3) on how to configure the specific feature for fm10k (by means
of adding a build time config option, or changing the common ethdev structure,
or changing the mbuf structure), neither adding extra build config option nor
changing the common structure looks satisfactory, and we think using devargs is
a good enough solution.

Customers configure the FTAG feature according to their need.
We just parse the devargs at dev_start and set FTAG flag for RX/TX queues, we
(or the customers) needn't to change the devargs at runtime.
In DPDK devargs is designed for each pci device, each device has its own pointer
for devargs structure.

Thank you for the comment.

Xiao

For vdev it can be done later.
The devargs can be generalized in the driver model to provide a
configuration interface per device.

>  2. Applications have to rewrite (or expect customer) to pass args

Like said above, if the devargs are correctly implemented, there will
be some API to pass them.

>  3. Can't be changed at runtime

Same point as 1.

>  4. Can't be selected on per device basis.

No. The devargs are args per device.
For PCI, they are currently passed in the whitelist.

> Please find a better way.

Another way would be to extend the configuration structures.
I think it's better to re-think the device configuration and the command line
using some devargs and more functions, ops and structs to configure the really
generic stuff.

This devargs goes in the direction of a flexible configuration, so I'd vote +1.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/2] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

v5:
* Used kvargs api to parse the devargs parameter.
* Put release note into the driver patch.

v4:
* Removed the build time config option, used devargs to config FTAG.
* Rebased on head of dpdk-next-net/rel_16_04 branch.

v3:
* Removed "\n" in PMD_INIT_LOG.
* Returned "-ENOTSUP" instead of -1 in VF FTAG use case.

v2:
* Gave an error message for VF FTAG use case.
* Added a notice in the doc to emphasize that application should ensure
  an appropriate FTAG for every frame in FTAG based forwarding mode.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/2] fm10k: enable FTAG based forwarding

[Wang Xiao W]

This patch enables reading sglort info into mbuf for RX and inserting
an FTAG at the beginning of the packet for TX. The vlan_tci_outer field
selected from rte_mbuf structure for sglort is not used in fm10k now.
In FTAG based forwarding mode, the switch will forward packets according
to glort info in FTAG rather than mac and vlan table.

To activate this feature, user needs to pass a devargs parameter to eal
for fm10k device like "-w 0000:84:00.0,enable_ftag=1". Currently this
feature is supported only on PF, because FM10K_PFVTCTL register is
read-only for VF.

Not sure the acks are correctly recorded here. John has acked the documentation
patch (2/2), not this patch. I'll fix this on apply.
Next time, please try to record the acks more accurately.

+FTAG Based Forwarding of FM10K
+------------------------------
+
+FTAG Based Forwarding is a unique feature of FM10K. The FM10K family of NICs
+support the addition of a Fabric Tag (FTAG) to carry special information.
+The FTAG is placed at the beginning of the frame, it contains information
+such as where the packet comes from and goes, and the vlan tag. In FTAG based
+forwarding mode, the switch logic forwards packets according to glort (global
+resource tag) information, rather than the mac and vlan table. Currently this
+feature works only on PF.
+
+To enable this feature, the user should pass a devargs parameter to the eal
+like "-w 84:00.0,enable_ftag=1", and the application should make sure an
+appropriate FTAG is inserted for every frame on TX side.

+FTAG Based Forwarding of FM10K
+------------------------------
+
+FTAG Based Forwarding is a unique feature of FM10K. The FM10K family of NICs
+support the addition of a Fabric Tag (FTAG) to carry special information.
+The FTAG is placed at the beginning of the frame, it contains information
+such as where the packet comes from and goes, and the vlan tag. In FTAG based
+forwarding mode, the switch logic forwards packets according to glort (global
+resource tag) information, rather than the mac and vlan table. Currently this
+feature works only on PF.
+
+To enable this feature, turn ``CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_FM10K_FTAG_FWD`` to y in the
+configuration file, and the application should make sure an appropriate FTAG is
+inserted for every frame on TX side.
