[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[John W. Linville]

This is a Linux-specific virtual PMD driver backed by an AF_PACKET
socket.  This implementation uses mmap'ed ring buffers to limit copying
and user/kernel transitions.  The PACKET_FANOUT_HASH behavior of
AF_PACKET is used for frame reception.  In the current implementation,
Tx and Rx queues are always paired, and therefore are always equal
in number -- changing this would be a Simple Matter Of Programming.

Interfaces of this type are created with a command line option like
"--vdev=eth_packet0,iface=...".  There are a number of options availabe
as arguments:

 - Interface is chosen by "iface" (required)
 - Number of queue pairs set by "qpairs" (optional, default: 16)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP block size set by "blocksz" (optional, default: 4096)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame size set by "framesz" (optional, default: 2048)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame count set by "framecnt" (optional, default: 512)

This PMD is intended to provide a means for using DPDK on a broad
range of hardware without hardware-specific PMDs and (hopefully)
with better performance than what PCAP offers in Linux.  This might
be useful as a development platform for DPDK applications when
DPDK-supported hardware is expensive or unavailable.

That is a good point, worth checking out.  FWIW, those lines are
boilerplate originally copied from the pcap PMD. :-)

Yes, I agree it's worth checking out if there is a performance impact, but if we assume that the stats for RX/TX are possibly going to be read by another core, they really should be volatile for correctness.

Since only one core does update, that is not necessary. add will generate
valid value. and reader will read a valid value.
Only if two cpu's are using same queue would it be possible to for two add's
to collide; but DPDK queue documentation specifically says queue's are not MP safe.

Accessing the rx_queue structure directly for stats is unlikely to happen from a second core; we should probably change the PCAP PMD as well (thanks for pointing that out John).

I really don't see any reason not to merge it.  It was already delayed
by me waiting for all the PMD init changes to settle out in the 1.6
release, and I still had to do a few touch-ups for it to compile on
1.7.  I definitely do not want to have to do that over and over again.

Why wouldn't you just merge it?  If someone wants to use it on 1.7,
they can just apply the patch.

"Unlikely" doesn't sound completely safe... :-)

AFAIK adds colliding can occur whether volatile or not, unless atomic operations are explicitly used. The volatile would just be a sanity check to ensure the value isn't cached in registers in either read or writer cores, so it's strictly necessary but I also would suspect it to have minimal to no performance impact as the value should be written to memory anyway even without volatile (though there is no guarantee of this), and the additional compiler ordering constraints imposed by volatile, I would hope shouldn't affect things much.

LOL. :-). This is an internal data structure and the DPDK docs specifically mention that they are not  multi-process safe/accessible. The unlikely was for people that don't read the docs ... ;)

It's a pity that we didn't synchronize our efforts to make it integrated 
during 1.7.0 cycle.

I'm OK to merge it. I was only suggesting to host your PMD externally like we 
did for virtio-net-pmd, vmxnet3-usermap and memnic.
It was the same discussion for the vmxnet3 PMD that Stephen submitted.

I start thinking that nobody wants PMD to be external. So we may merge this 
one in dpdk.git and start talking what to do for the other ones:
	- move memnic in dpdk.git?
	- move virtio-net-pmd and vmxnet3-usermap where sits their uio 
counterparts?
	- merge Brocade's vmxnet3 as new one or as a replacement for vmxnet3-uio?

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

Looks like you used a pretty new kernel version with new socket options that old kernel like my 3.12 does not support. When I tried this patch, it just cannot build, and compiler complains like below. Which Linux distribution does this patch work for? How to ensure it works for old kernels?

/home/danny/dpdk.org/dpdk/lib/librte_pmd_packet/rte_eth_packet.c: In function rte_pmd_init_internals:
/home/danny/dpdk.org/dpdk/lib/librte_pmd_packet/rte_eth_packet.c:524:17: error: PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/danny/dpdk.org/dpdk/lib/librte_pmd_packet/rte_eth_packet.c:524:17: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in

Yes, I would agree with this. Having drivers in external git repos makes it hard for us to take them into account when planning on making changes to the core libs.

For these we really should try and converge on a single solution. Having multiple vmxnet3 and virtio drivers duplicates effort and is just plain messy! Of course, that's easier to say than to agree on...

Both of them are isolated, so for playing with it you could just
comment those out.  It looks like PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER should
have been in 3.10, while PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS didn't show-up until
3.14...

Is there an example of code in DPDK that requires specific kernel

Tried on 3.12, both of them are undefined. Anyway, will comment them out and see what performance it could achieve.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[John W. Linville]

Not sure what the issue might be, PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER is
defined in include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h in the v3.12 tree.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

Does it support specifying multiple NIC interfaces using command line option like "--vdev=eth_packet0,iface=..."? Say "iface=eth0,eth1,eth2...", tried but it doesn't work.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[John W. Linville]

I'm not sure that would make any sense -- the AF_PACKET sockets are
mapped to specific interfaces.

What are you trying to do with a syntax like that?

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

I want to run a common DPDK L2 or L3 forward benchmark for bi-direction traffics, so at least two ports are required. Just like how to measure Linux bridge or OVS performance, you need add at least two ports into a bridge.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Shaw, Jeffrey B]

Danny, can you specify multiple --vdev parameters?
"--vdev=eth_packet0,iface=eth0 --vdev=eth_packet1,iface=eth1"

I want to run a common DPDK L2 or L3 forward benchmark for bi-direction traffics, so at least two ports are required. Just like how to measure Linux bridge or OVS performance, you need add at least two ports into a bridge.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

Thanks Jeff, it works as expected, like below command line:

./l2fwd/build/l2fwd -c 0x3 -n 4 --vdev=eth_packet0,iface=p786p1 --vdev=eth_packet1,iface=p786p2 -- -p 0x3

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Thomas Monjalon]

About the form of the patch, I have 2 comments:

1) A doc explaining the design, the dependencies and how it can be used would 
be a great help. Could you write it in rst format?

2) checkpatch.pl returns these errors:

ERROR:SPACING: space required before the open parenthesis '('
#468: FILE: lib/librte_pmd_packet/rte_eth_packet.c:250:

No there is no userspace code checking kernel version in DPDK.
Feel free to use what you think the best method.
Please keep in mind that checking version number is a maintenance nightmare 
because of backports (like RedHat do ;).

Hi John,

I'm just trying this out now on a Fedora 20 machine, using kernel 3.14.9-200.fc20.x86_64. However, while the first packet PMD port initializes correctly, the subsequent ones do not. Please see output from my test run below. All four ports are of the same type.

Regards,
/Bruce

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

I just upgraded my kernel to 3.15.5 and hardcoded below captured from include/uapi/linux/if_packet.h to librte_pmd_packet.c to workaround it, now I can receive/transmit packet now. Commenting out PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER would cause no packet can be received. 

#define PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS             20
#define PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER     0x1000

Yes!  Please.  this is what I suggested a few months ago.  Managing PMDs in
separate trees just leads to more difficult driver updates when core changes are
made that affect all pmds.  Please merge them all into the dpdk tree

You shouldn't need PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER if all the queues are
being used.  Does the application you are running make use of all
the queues?  If not, you probably should use the qpairs option to
limit the number of queues created by the eth_packet PMD.

I suppose that it could be a configuration option?

Thanks I'll check into it.  I'm not sure why you would only be able
to set the fanout on the first port...

It looks like I lost a patch in the prep for posting.  As a result, I
was using the same fanout group ID between different interfaces... :-(

I'll post a V2 in a bit...thanks!

What is rst format?  Are there other examples in the repository?

OK.  FWIW, at least the first two are slightly changed from what was
copied from the PCAP driver.  The other probably was a cut-n-paste
error from another source.

I'll post a V2 shortly...

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[John W. Linville]

This is a Linux-specific virtual PMD driver backed by an AF_PACKET
socket.  This implementation uses mmap'ed ring buffers to limit copying
and user/kernel transitions.  The PACKET_FANOUT_HASH behavior of
AF_PACKET is used for frame reception.  In the current implementation,
Tx and Rx queues are always paired, and therefore are always equal
in number -- changing this would be a Simple Matter Of Programming.

Interfaces of this type are created with a command line option like
"--vdev=eth_packet0,iface=...".  There are a number of options availabe
as arguments:

 - Interface is chosen by "iface" (required)
 - Number of queue pairs set by "qpairs" (optional, default: 1)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP block size set by "blocksz" (optional, default: 4096)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame size set by "framesz" (optional, default: 2048)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame count set by "framecnt" (optional, default: 512)

Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

This PMD is intended to provide a means for using DPDK on a broad
range of hardware without hardware-specific PMDs and (hopefully)
with better performance than what PCAP offers in Linux.  This might
be useful as a development platform for DPDK applications when
DPDK-supported hardware is expensive or unavailable.

New in v2:

-- fixup some style issues found by check patch
-- use if_index as part of fanout group ID
-- set default number of queue pairs to 1

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

According to my performance measurement results for 64B small packet, 1 queue perf. is better than 16 queues (1.35M pps vs. 0.93M pps) which make sense to me as for 16 queues case more CPU cycles (16 queues' 87% vs. 1 queue' 80%) in kernel land needed for NAPI-enabled ixgbe driver to switch between polling and interrupt modes in order to service per-queue rx interrupts, so more context switch overhead involved. Also, since the eth_packet_rx/eth_packet_tx routines involves in two memory copies between DPDK mbuf and pbuf for each packet, it can hardly achieve high performance unless packet are directly DMA to mbuf which needs ixgbe driver to support.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

> According to my performance measurement results for 64B small packet, 1 queue perf. is better than 16 queues (1.35M pps vs. 0.93M pps) which make sense to me as for 16 queues case more CPU cycles (16 queues' 87% vs. 1 queue' 80%) in kernel land needed for NAPI-enabled ixgbe driver to switch between polling and interrupt modes in order to service per-queue rx interrupts, so more context switch overhead involved. Also, since the eth_packet_rx/eth_packet_tx routines involves in two memory copies between DPDK mbuf and pbuf for each packet, it can hardly achieve high performance unless packet are directly DMA to mbuf which needs ixgbe driver to support.

I thought 16 queues would be spread out between as many cpus as you had though,
obviating the need for context switches, no?

I think Danny is testing the single CPU case.  Having more queues
than CPUs probably does not provide any benefit.

It would be cool to hack the DPDK memory management to work directly
out of the mmap'ed AF_PACKET buffers.  But at this point I don't
have enough knowledge of DPDK internals to know if that is at all
reasonable...

John

P.S.  Danny, have you run any performance tests on the PCAP driver?

If you set those per-queue MSIX interrupt affinity to different cpus, then performance would be much better 
and linear scaling is expected. But in order to do apple-to-apple performance comparison against 1 queue case 
on single core, by default all interrupts are handled by one core, say core0, so lots of context switch impacts 
performance I think.

No, I do not have PCAP driver performance results in hand. But I remember it is less than
1M pps for 64B.

Ah, yes, generally speaking, you never want nr_cpus < nr_queues.  Otherwise
you'll just be fighting yourself.

It is true for interrupt based NIC driver and this AF_PACKET based PMD because it depends 
on kernel NIC driver. But for poll-mode based DPDK native NIC driver, you can have a cpu pinning to
to a core polling multiple queues on a NIC or queues on different NICs, at the cost of more
power consumption or wasted CPU cycles busying waiting packets.

If there is no other way to configure kernel-dependent features, we can add 
options. But I feel that relying on a macro (#ifdef) would be better if such 
macro exist.

Actually, I feel the need to correct this (I know you're being humorous, but
just the same).  You don't have a maintenence nightmare on your hands because
RedHat backports kernel features, you have a nightmare maintenece situation on
your hands because the DPDK uses kernel features that were never meant to be
directly accessed outside of kernel space.

You're right. Removing kernel modules from DPDK is a nice goal.
But here we were speaking about an userland library (AF_PACKET PMD) which rely 
on kernel features.

I can add #ifdef or #if defined() for the newer definitions.  Is there
a minimum kernel version supported today?

2.6.32 is the minimum version.
But it's known to be easily usable since Linux 2.6.34.

[Shaw, Jeffrey B]

2.6.32 is minimum, but I believe still needs patches to fix hugetlbfs issues.
I think the first kernel which had all the features we need, and doesn't require patches, is 2.6.33.6.

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] librte_pmd_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[Zhou, Danny]

I am concerned about its performance caused by too many memcpy(). Specifically, on Rx side, kernel NIC driver needs to copy packets to skb, then af_packet copies packets to AF_PACKET buffer which are mapped to user space, and then those packets to be copied to DPDK mbuf. In addition, 3 copies needed on Tx side. So to run a simple DPDK L2/L3 forwarding benchmark, each packet needs 6 packet copies which brings significant negative performance impact. We had a bifurcated driver prototype that can do zero-copy and achieve native DPDK performance, but it depends on base driver and AF_PACKET code changes in kernel, John R will be presenting it in coming Linux Plumbers Conference. Once kernel adopts it, the relevant PMD will be submitted to dpdk.org.

Admittedly, this is not as good a performer as most of the existing
PMDs.  It serves a different purpose, afterall.  FWIW, you did
previously indicate that it performed better than the pcap-based PMD.

I look forward to seeing the changes you mention -- they sound very
exciting.  But, they will still require both networking core and
driver changes in the kernel.  And as I understand things today,
the userland code will still need at least some knowledge of specific
devices and how they layout their packet descriptors, etc.  So while
those changes sound very promising, they will still have certain
drawbacks in common with the current situation.

It seems like the changes you mention will still need some sort of
AF_PACKET-based PMD driver.  Have you implemented that completely
separate from the code I already posted?  Or did you add that work
on top of mine?

Yes, slightly higher but makes no big difference.

Yes, we would like the DPDK performance optimization techniques such as huge page, efficient rx/tx routines to manipulate device-specific 
packet descriptors, polling-model can be still used. We have to tradeoff between performance and commonality. But we believe it will be much easier
to develop DPDK PMD for non-Intel NICs than porting entire kernel drivers to DPDK.

For userland code, it certainly use some of your code related to raw rocket, but highly modified. A layer will be added into eth_dev library to do device
probe and support new socket options.

Do you have numbers for this?  It seems to me faster is faster as long as its
statistically significant.  Even if its not, johns AF_PACKET pmd has the ability
to scale to multple cpus more easily than the pcap pmd, as it can make use of
the AF_PACKET fanout feature.

Not sure how this relates, what you're describing is the feature intel has been
working on to augment kernel drivers to provide better throughput via direct
hardware access to user space.  Johns PMD provides ubiquitous function on all
hardware. I'm not sure how the desire for one implies the other isn't valuable?

Ok, but again, PMD's are independent, and serve different needs.  If they're use
is at all overlapping from a functional standpoint, take this one now, and
deprecate it when a better one comes along.  Though from your description it
seems like both have a valid place in the ecosystem.

For 64B small packet, 1.35M pps with 1 queue. As both pcap and AF_PACKET PMDs depend on interrupt 
based NIC kernel drivers, all the DPDK performance optimization techniques are not utilized. Why should DPDK adopt 
two similar and poor performant PMDs which cannot demonstrate DPDK' key value "high performance"?

Performance is the key value of DPDK, instead of commonality. But we are trying to improve commonality of our solution to make it easily 
adopted by other NIC vendors.

I am ok with this approach, as long as this AF_PACKET PMD does not add extra maintain efforts. Thomas might make the call.

Why did you only test with a single queue?  Multiqueue operation was one of the
big advantages of the AF_PACKET based pmd.  I would expect a single queue setup
to perform in a very simmilar fashion to the pcap PMD

 As both pcap and AF_PACKET PMDs depend on interrupt

Several reasons:
* "High performance" isn't always the key need for end users.  Consider
pre-hardware availablity development phase.

* Better hardware modeling (consider AF_PACKETS multiqueue abiltiy)

* Better scaling (pcap doesn't make use of the fanout features that AF_PACKET
does)

* Space savings, Building the AF_PACKET pmd doesn't require the additional
building/storage of the pcap driver.

Thats completely irrelevant to the question at hand.  To go with your reasoning,
if performance is the key value of the DPDK, then you should remove all driver
support save for the most performant hardware you have.  By that same token,
you should deprecate the pcap driver in favor of this AF_PACKET driver, because
it has shown performance improvement.

I'm being facetious, of course, but the facts remain: Lack of superior
performance from one PMD to the next does not immediately obviate the need for
one PMD over another, as they quite likely address differing needs.  As you note
the DPDK seeks performance as a key goal, but its an open source project, there
are other needs from other users in play here.  The AF_PACKET pmd provides
superior performance on linux platforms when hardware independence is required.
It differs from the pcap PMD as it uses features that are only available on the
Linux platform, so it stands to reason we should have both.

What extra maintainer efforts do you think are required here, that wouldn't be
required for any PMD?  To suggest that a given PMD shouldn't be included because
it would require additional effort to maintain holds it to a higher standard
than the PMD's already included.  I don't recall anyone asking if the i40e or
bonding pmds would require additional effort before being integrated.

IMHO, the biggest deficiency in DPDK is the lack of apps.  Let's face
it, no one really cares about running l2fwd except for testing the
drivers.  What people want is applications.  Providing a PMD to use
while developing an app without requiring specific hardware seems like
a win to me.  The pcap PMD addresses some of that, but it is more of
a stop-gap or special purpose thing (like for playing back captures).

Right -- how much maintainer effort is put into the pcap driver
these days?

librte_pmd_pcap and librte_pmd_packet are both DPDK wrapper libraries on top of libpcap library and AF_PACKET module respectively, 
so they are not born for high performance, which is truly understandable. DPDK is moving toward to open to a larger public of data center
consumers who do not care about very high performance, so from that angle, it makes sense to adopt librte_pmd_packet in my mind.

It is not true for network middle boxes which resolve L2/L3 packet processing problems(which is the main problem DPDK wants to resolve when it was born), 
but it might be truefor data center or endpoint applications that primarily focus on addressing L4-L7 packet processing problems, which
do not care about L2/L3 high throughput and packet latency very much, as system performance bottle-neck are in the L4-L7 routines.

I do not know details, but I DO know validation guys need to put a lot efforts on measuring the performance for it on different platforms.
Probably a automation function and performance testsuite can help a lot.

1) It doesn't appear as a top priority.
2) It's competing with pcap PMD and bifurcated PMD to come
   (http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-September/005379.html)
3) There is no test associated with this PMD.
If one of this item becomes wrong, it should go in.

Currently, 2 projects are being initiated for validation (dcts) and
documentation. Keeping new things outside of the DPDK core makes it
clear that they have not to be supported by dcts and doc yet.
So, it is better to have an external PMD, like memnic, acting as a
staging area.

During this time, keeping this PMD separately will allow you to update it
with a maintainer account in dpdk.org. I just need your SSH public key.

Thank you

Thats your responsibility.  Patches can't languish and rot on a list forever
just because others aren't willing to test it.  If theres further testing that
you feel it needs, ask. But from my read, its been tested for functionality and
performance (though high performance is never expected from a AF_PACKET PMD).
Given that any one PMD will not affect the performance of another in isolation,
I'm not sure what more you're waiting for here.

Regarding the pcap PMD, so?  Its an alternate implementation that provides
different features with different limitations.  The fact that they are simmilar
is irrelevant.  If simmilarity was the test, then we wouldn't bother with the
bifurcated driver either, because the pcap pmd already exists.

Regarding the bifurcated driver, you can't hold existing patches on the promise
of another pmd thats comming at an indeterminate time in the future.  Theres no
reason not to take this now and deprecate it in the future if there is
sufficient overlap with the bifurcated driver, though to my point above, they
still address different needs with different limitations, so I don't see doing
so as necessecary.
 
> 3) There is no test associated with this PMD.
That would have been a great comment to make a few months back, though whats
wrong with testpmd here?  That seems to be the same test that every other pmd
uses. What exactly are you looking for?

So, this brings up an excellent point - Validation and support.  Commonly open
source projects don't provide support at the upstream HEAD. Those items are
applied and inforced by distributors.  Theres no need to ensure that the
upstream head is always the most performance and stable point of the tree.  Its
that need that keeps the development pace slow, and creates frustrations like
this one, where a patch sits unaddressed for long periods of time.  Commonly the
workflow for most open source projects is for there to be a window of time where
visual review and basic functional testing are sufficient for acceptance into
the head of the tree.  After the development window closes there is a
stabilization period where testing/validation is done to ensure that no
regressions have been encountered, optionally with a -next branch temporarily
being created to accept patches for upcomming future releases.  If regressions
are found, its a simple matter in git to bisect back to the offending patch,
allow the contributing developer an opportunity to fix the issue, or to drop the
patch.  Using a workflow like this we can have a reasonable balance of needs
(good patch turn around time, as well as reasonable testing).  We've discussed
this when I posted the PMD_REGISTER_DRIVER patch months ago, and I thought you
were going to move in the direction of this workflow.  What happened?

We've discussed this too, keeping PMDs maintained separately is a very bad idea.
Doing so means developers have to constantly be aware of changes to the core
tree and try to keep up individually.  Integrating them all means that API
changes can be easily propogated to all PMD's when needed without making work
for many people.  Its exactly the reason we encourage driver writers to open
source drivers in Linux, because not doing so closes developers off from the
free maintenence they get when optimizations are made to API's.  And if you
follow the development model above, you don't need to worry about implied
support, as that correctly becomes a distributor issue.

While not wanting to get too involved in the discussion, I'd just like to

Yes, integration of new PMD must be accelerated.

I was thinking of testing behaviour with different kernel configurations and
unit tests for --vdev options. But it's not a major blocker.

If RedHat is committed for its maintenance, it could integrated in release 1.8.
But I'd like it to be renamed as pmd_af_packet (or a better name) instead of
pmd_packet.

Thats fine with me.  If theres a set of unit tests that you have documentation
for, I'm sure we would be happy to run them.  I presume you just want all the
pmd vdev option exercised?  Any specific sets of kernel configurations?

That would be wonderful.  I think separating the integration workflow from the
test workflow is critical here to making sure that patch integration isn't
unnecessecarily delayed.

I'll try to get a few cycles to change the name of the PMD around.  And yes, I

I don't really know which tests are needed. It could be a mix of unit tests
and functionnal tests described in a test plan.
The goal is to be able to validate the behaviour and check there is no
regression. Ideally some corner cases could be described.
I'm OK to integrate it as is. But future maintenance will probably need
such inputs for validation tests.

Do you have time in coming days to rebase and rename this PMD for inclusion

You can check this:
	http://dpdk.org/browse/tools/dts/tree/test_plans/pmd_test_plan.rst
	http://dpdk.org/browse/tools/dts/tree/test_plans/pmd_bonded_test_plan.rst

As I said, we can integrate AF_PACKET PMD without such test plan.
But we are going to improve testing of many areas in DPDK.

Do you think a sub-tree with pull request model would help you for
maintenance of this PMD?

I think thats a question for John to answer, but IMHO, I don't think the pmd
will have such patch volume that subtrees will be needed.

I haven't touched DPDK in a while, and I'm a bit busy...

When would you need it for 1.8.0?

Looking at this, the pmd_test_plan above seems perfectly applicable to Johns
pmd.  did you feel as though additional tests were needed for a virutal pmd
(asside from a note describing the additional --vdev parameter required for
virtual device setup?

I'll have a renamed device pmd patch up later today.

It's maybe sufficient. I didn't dig enough. We'll see wether some people need
more for validation.

Excellent.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] librte_pmd_af_packet: add PMD for AF_PACKET-based virtual devices

[John W. Linville]

This is a Linux-specific virtual PMD driver backed by an AF_PACKET
socket.  This implementation uses mmap'ed ring buffers to limit copying
and user/kernel transitions.  The PACKET_FANOUT_HASH behavior of
AF_PACKET is used for frame reception.  In the current implementation,
Tx and Rx queues are always paired, and therefore are always equal
in number -- changing this would be a Simple Matter Of Programming.

Interfaces of this type are created with a command line option like
"--vdev=eth_af_packet0,iface=...".  There are a number of options availabe
as arguments:

 - Interface is chosen by "iface" (required)
 - Number of queue pairs set by "qpairs" (optional, default: 1)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP block size set by "blocksz" (optional, default: 4096)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame size set by "framesz" (optional, default: 2048)
 - AF_PACKET MMAP frame count set by "framecnt" (optional, default: 512)

Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
---
This PMD is intended to provide a means for using DPDK on a broad
range of hardware without hardware-specific PMDs and (hopefully)
with better performance than what PCAP offers in Linux.  This might
be useful as a development platform for DPDK applications when
DPDK-supported hardware is expensive or unavailable.

New in v3:

-- Adopt awkward renaming (pmd_packet -> pmd_af_packet) in hopes of
   getting something merged...

New in v2:

-- fixup some style issues found by check patch
-- use if_index as part of fanout group ID
-- set default number of queue pairs to 1

There are some remaining occurences of ETH_PACKET.
	% git grep -i eth_packet | wc -l
	19
	% sed -ri 's,ETH_PACKET,ETH_AF_PACKET,' lib/librte_pmd_af_packet/*
I fixed it. It seems there is a hope of getting it merged :D

When building on Debian, I remembered that it cannot be enabled for all kernels.
As a first step, I disabled it in default configuration.
I don't know how we could handle it better. Is it sufficient to test
availability of flags like PACKET_FANOUT_FLAG_ROLLOVER or PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS?

Applied with changes explained above.

Is it possible to improve it in coming weeks?
Thanks
