From: Tetsuya Mukawa @ 2015-02-18 11:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: dev, bruce.richardson, thomas.monjalon; +Cc: nhroman

Currently uint8_t is used for port identifier. This patch changes it,
and use uint16_t as port identifier.
This patch only changes ethdev library. ABI of the library will be
kept even after applying it.

Also, this patch involves following fixes.
- Use "port_id" as variable name instead of "port".

+ * RTE Ethernet Device API
+ *
+ * The Ethernet Device API is composed of two parts:
+ *
+ * - The application-oriented Ethernet API that includes functions to setup
+ *   an Ethernet device (configure it, setup its RX and TX queues and start it),
+ *   to get its MAC address, the speed and the status of its physical link,
+ *   to receive and to transmit packets, and so on.
+ *
+ * - The driver-oriented Ethernet API that exports a function allowing
+ *   an Ethernet Poll Mode Driver (PMD) to simultaneously register itself as
+ *   an Ethernet device driver and as a PCI driver for a set of matching PCI
+ *   [Ethernet] devices classes.
+ *
+ * By default, all the functions of the Ethernet Device API exported by a PMD
+ * are lock-free functions which assume to not be invoked in parallel on
+ * different logical cores to work on the same target object.  For instance,
+ * the receive function of a PMD cannot be invoked in parallel on two logical
+ * cores to poll the same RX queue [of the same port]. Of course, this function
+ * can be invoked in parallel by different logical cores on different RX queues.
+ * It is the responsibility of the upper level application to enforce this rule.
+ *
+ * If needed, parallel accesses by multiple logical cores to shared queues
+ * shall be explicitly protected by dedicated inline lock-aware functions
+ * built on top of their corresponding lock-free functions of the PMD API.
+ *
+ * In all functions of the Ethernet API, the Ethernet device is
+ * designated by an integer >= 0 named the device port identifier.
+ *
+ * At the Ethernet driver level, Ethernet devices are represented by a generic
+ * data structure of type *rte_eth_dev*.
+ *
+ * Ethernet devices are dynamically registered during the PCI probing phase
+ * performed at EAL initialization time.
+ * When an Ethernet device is being probed, an *rte_eth_dev* structure and
+ * a new port identifier are allocated for that device. Then, the eth_dev_init()
+ * function supplied by the Ethernet driver matching the probed PCI
+ * device is invoked to properly initialize the device.
+ *
+ * The role of the device init function consists of resetting the hardware,
+ * checking access to Non-volatile Memory (NVM), reading the MAC address
+ * from NVM etc.
+ *
+ * If the device init operation is successful, the correspondence between
+ * the port identifier assigned to the new device and its associated
+ * *rte_eth_dev* structure is effectively registered.
+ * Otherwise, both the *rte_eth_dev* structure and the port identifier are
+ * freed.
+ *
+ * The functions exported by the application Ethernet API to setup a device
+ * designated by its port identifier must be invoked in the following order:
+ *     - rte_eth_dev_configure()
+ *     - rte_eth_tx_queue_setup()
+ *     - rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()
+ *     - rte_eth_dev_start()
+ *
+ * Then, the network application can invoke, in any order, the functions
+ * exported by the Ethernet API to get the MAC address of a given device, to
+ * get the speed and the status of a device physical link, to receive/transmit
+ * [burst of] packets, and so on.
+ *
+ * If the application wants to change the configuration (i.e. call
+ * rte_eth_dev_configure(), rte_eth_tx_queue_setup(), or
+ * rte_eth_rx_queue_setup()), it must call rte_eth_dev_stop() first to stop the
+ * device and then do the reconfiguration before calling rte_eth_dev_start()
+ * again. The tramsit and receive functions should not be invoked when the
+ * device is stopped.
+ *
+ * Please note that some configuration is not stored between calls to
+ * rte_eth_dev_stop()/rte_eth_dev_start(). The following configuration will
+ * be retained:
+ *
+ *     - flow control settings
+ *     - receive mode configuration (promiscuous mode, hardware checksum mode,
+ *       RSS/VMDQ settings etc.)
+ *     - VLAN filtering configuration
+ *     - MAC addresses supplied to MAC address array
+ *     - flow director filtering mode (but not filtering rules)
+ *     - NIC queue statistics mappings
+ *
+ * Any other configuration will not be stored and will need to be re-entered
+ * after a call to rte_eth_dev_start().
+ *
+ * Finally, a network application can close an Ethernet device by invoking the
+ * rte_eth_dev_close() function.
+ *
+ * Each function of the application Ethernet API invokes a specific function
+ * of the PMD that controls the target device designated by its port
+ * identifier.
+ * For this purpose, all device-specific functions of an Ethernet driver are
+ * supplied through a set of pointers contained in a generic structure of type
+ * *eth_dev_ops*.
+ * The address of the *eth_dev_ops* structure is stored in the *rte_eth_dev*
+ * structure by the device init function of the Ethernet driver, which is
+ * invoked during the PCI probing phase, as explained earlier.
+ *
+ * In other words, each function of the Ethernet API simply retrieves the
+ * *rte_eth_dev* structure associated with the device port identifier and
+ * performs an indirect invocation of the corresponding driver function
+ * supplied in the *eth_dev_ops* structure of the *rte_eth_dev* structure.
+ *
+ * For performance reasons, the address of the burst-oriented RX and TX
+ * functions of the Ethernet driver are not contained in the *eth_dev_ops*
+ * structure. Instead, they are directly stored at the beginning of the
+ * *rte_eth_dev* structure to avoid an extra indirect memory access during
+ * their invocation.
+ *
+ * RTE ethernet device drivers do not use interrupts for transmitting or
+ * receiving. Instead, Ethernet drivers export Poll-Mode receive and transmit
+ * functions to applications.
+ * Both receive and transmit functions are packet-burst oriented to minimize
+ * their cost per packet through the following optimizations:
+ *
+ * - Sharing among multiple packets the incompressible cost of the
+ *   invocation of receive/transmit functions.
+ *
+ * - Enabling receive/transmit functions to take advantage of burst-oriented
+ *   hardware features (L1 cache, prefetch instructions, NIC head/tail
+ *   registers) to minimize the number of CPU cycles per packet, for instance,
+ *   by avoiding useless read memory accesses to ring descriptors, or by
+ *   systematically using arrays of pointers that exactly fit L1 cache line
+ *   boundaries and sizes.
+ *
+ * The burst-oriented receive function does not provide any error notification,
+ * to avoid the corresponding overhead. As a hint, the upper-level application
+ * might check the status of the device link once being systematically returned
+ * a 0 value by the receive function of the driver for a given number of tries.

+ *
+ * The rte_eth_rx_burst() function loops, parsing the RX ring of the
+ * receive queue, up to *nb_pkts* packets, and for each completed RX
+ * descriptor in the ring, it performs the following operations:
+ *
+ * - Initialize the *rte_mbuf* data structure associated with the

+ *   that RX descriptor.
+ *
+ * - Store the *rte_mbuf* data structure into the next entry of the
+ *   *rx_pkts* array.
+ *
+ * - Replenish the RX descriptor with a new *rte_mbuf* buffer
+ *   allocated from the memory pool associated with the receive queue at
+ *   initialization time.
+ *
+ * When retrieving an input packet that was scattered by the controller
+ * into multiple receive descriptors, the rte_eth_rx_burst() function
+ * appends the associated *rte_mbuf* buffers to the first buffer of the
+ * packet.
+ *
+ * The rte_eth_rx_burst() function returns the number of packets
+ * actually retrieved, which is the number of *rte_mbuf* data structures
+ * effectively supplied into the *rx_pkts* array.
+ * A return value equal to *nb_pkts* indicates that the RX queue contained
+ * at least *rx_pkts* packets, and this is likely to signify that other
+ * received packets remain in the input queue. Applications implementing
+ * a "retrieve as much received packets as possible" policy can check this
+ * specific case and keep invoking the rte_eth_rx_burst() function until
+ * a value less than *nb_pkts* is returned.
+ *
+ * This receive method has the following advantages:
+ *
+ * - It allows a run-to-completion network stack engine to retrieve and
+ *   to immediately process received packets in a fast burst-oriented
+ *   approach, avoiding the overhead of unnecessary intermediate packet
+ *   queue/dequeue operations.
+ *
+ * - Conversely, it also allows an asynchronous-oriented processing
+ *   method to retrieve bursts of received packets and to immediately
+ *   queue them for further parallel processing by another logical core,
+ *   for instance. However, instead of having received packets being
+ *   individually queued by the driver, this approach allows the invoker
+ *   of the rte_eth_rx_burst() function to queue a burst of retrieved
+ *   packets at a time and therefore dramatically reduce the cost of
+ *   enqueue/dequeue operations per packet.
+ *
+ * - It allows the rte_eth_rx_burst() function of the driver to take
+ *   advantage of burst-oriented hardware features (CPU cache,
+ *   prefetch instructions, and so on) to minimize the number of CPU
+ *   cycles per packet.
+ *
+ * To summarize, the proposed receive API enables many
+ * burst-oriented optimizations in both synchronous and asynchronous
+ * packet processing environments with no overhead in both cases.
+ *
+ * The rte_eth_rx_burst() function does not provide any error
+ * notification to avoid the corresponding overhead. As a hint, the

I'm not sure I follow why we need a new header file for this.
Also, thinking about this change, a more fundamental problem is going to be
the mbuf structure, which stores a port id inside it in an 8-bit value.
Upgrading that to a 16-bit value requires some thought, and verification to
ensure any adjustment of fields does not lead to serious performance issues.

Therefore, I suggest we leave the port id values as 8-bits until such time
as we need greater than 255 port values in a real-world use case.
Out of interest - anyone have a DPDK app where they use >16 port id values? If
so, how high does the port id value get?

Not real application but simple example of setup:
4 Niantic x 2 ports x 64 VF = 512 port id

I don't know what would be the real need/advantage of such setup (bonding?) but 
you see, in theory it is already insufficient.

Just a though on port_id in general; I wouldn't see why other type of 
ports could fall into the same abstraction of using port_ids as we do 
for PHY ports, if eventually we could create a unified API TX/RX 
routines he same regardless of the port (I know KNI deprecated this 
approach in the past). Of course initialization routines should be 
different for each type of port.

I see quite a bit of code duplicity, basically in TX/RX routines for PHY 
ports, KNI ports, SHMEM (ring) ports like ivshmem etc.., which are very 
similar, and we put into the shoulders of all users of DPDK to have to 
do the "switch() - case" based on the type of port (which is state that 
they have to store themselves too). This seems to me it could be 
improved from a DPDK user's point of view.

By no means I am saying lower level APIs should not be exposed (current 
APIs)... There is the need to, since users using one type of ports only 
should be able to by-pass that (small?) extra overhead of this higher 
level APIs.

If the implementation would eventually would go into this direction, 
there would be more pressure in the port_id identifier; e.g. KNI 
interfaces and other SW like interfaces can be created and destroyed 
quite frequently (e.g. VMs), so more than 8 bits for addressing would 
probably be needed.

I know it not helping in the short-term, but let's see if someone thinks 
this makes any sense at all.

Yes, this makes complete sense, Marc, and it's something I (and some others 
here in Intel ) have certainly been thinking about - and go on thinking about.
The ability to have multiple objects of different types accessible under a
generic rx_burst/tx_burst interface is a very powerful one. 
[I actually tried something a bit like this before, with
patches to allow a form of type-casting from rings to ethdevs, but it didn't
go further as it was felt to overlap too much with the rings pmd.
http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2014-May/002505.html ].

Overall, at this point we believe that the ethdev itself is a bit of overkill
for a common API, since it's got a lot of NIC specific baggage in its APIs.
We are thinking that perhaps a "higher-level", more minimal abstraction, which
just has rx_burst or tx_burst functions and not a lot else, might be more
useful, as it can then be "sub-classed" [to use object-oriented terminology]
into device-type specific versions such as ethdev.
At this stage, we're just thinking about what such a thing might look like, and trying
a few things out to see if such an idea is workable. If we think it's something
worth pursuing, we hope to have something to share very soon, to get input
from the whole community to see if it's worth doing for future releases. However,
it appears your thinking closely aligns with what we are thinking, which is good
to see!

However, I'd find it hard to see why you would split a single port into 64
within a *single* application, let alone do that with 8 of them :-)

Well, in theory any number of ports is insufficient, as you can create thousands
and thousands of pcap or ring ethdevs in an app if you really want. Hence the
question about any actual use cases which use a large number of ports. :-)
