Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/5] kni: add API to set link status on kernel interface
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 21:23:53 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181019002358.17132-1-dg@adax.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180911232906.18352-1-dg@adax.com>

Hi All,

Attached is version 5 of a patchset to add a new API function to
set the link status on kernel interfaces created with the KNI kernel
module.

v5
====
* Update Kernel NIC Interface document with new rte_kni option, move
  kernel module parameter description here from KNI sample app
  document, general cleanup.

* Update Kernel NIC Interface sample application (kni) document
  with new command line parameter, remove documentation for rte_kni
  kernel module but add reference to it, general cleanup.

* Change link status change sample rate for KNI example app to 500ms
  from 100ms.

* Fix bug in parameter parsing in v4 in rte_kni kernel module.

* Fix output formatting of optional parameters for rte_kni with
  modinfo.

* Fix permissions of optional parameters for rte_kni.

* Squash patch to add test for rte_kni_update_link into patch
  introducing the API function.

> v4
> ====
> * Rework rte_kni_update_link to only take linkup/linkdown as parameter,
>   return previous link state, and remove log messages.
> 
> * Update patch to set default carrier state to make default carrier
>   state configurable by passing the 'carrier=[on|off]' option to
>   the rte_kni kernel module.  This is necessary in order to allow
>   applications which use KNI as pure virtual interfaces without
>   corresponding physical ethernet port to use the interfaces without
>   having to set the carrier state to 'on' via rte_kni_update_link()
>   or by writing to /sys/devices/virtual/net/<ifaceX>/carrier.
>   Note that the default is 'off'.
> 
> * Add command line flag '-m' to examples/kni to continuously monitor
>   and update the KNI interface link status according to the link
>   status of the corresponding physical ethernet port.
> 
> 
> v3
> ====
> * Use separate function to test rte_kni_update_link() in 'test' app.
> 
> * Separate changes to 'test' app into separate patch to facilitate
>   possible merge with https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/44730/
> 
> * Remove changes to set KNI interfaces to 'up' in example/kni
> 
> v2
> ====
> 
> * Fix bug where "Fixed" and "AutoNeg" were transposed in the link
>   status log message.
> 
> * Add rte_kni_update_link() to rte_kni_version.map
> 
> * Add rte_kni_update_link() tests to kni_autotest
> 
> * Update examples/kni to continuously monitor link status and
>   update the corresponding kernel interface with
>   rte_kni_update_link().
> 
> * Minor improvements to examples/kni: Add log message showing how
>   to show/zero stats.  Improve zeroing statistics.
> 
> Note that checkpatches.sh compains about patch 1/5, but this appears
> to be a bug with check-symbol-change or something.  If I move the
> fragment of the patch modifying rte_kni_version.map to the bottom of
> the patch file, it doesn't complain any more...  I just don't really
> have time to investigate this right now.
  
thanks
dan
