[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/4] net/enic: release port upon close

[Hyong Youb Kim]

Set RTE_ETH_DEV_CLOSE_REMOVE upon probe so rte_eth_dev_close() can
later free port resources including mac_addrs.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/4] net/enic: support multicast filtering

[Hyong Youb Kim]

The VIC hardware has 64 MAC filters per vNIC, which can be either
unicast or multicast. Use one half for unicast and the other half for
multicast, as the VIC kernel drivers for Linux and Windows do.

Why logging with 'ERR' level after checking if 'DEBUG' level is set?

And why need that check at all?

Thanks for pointing this out. Our mistake. Should be DEBUG.

> And why need that check at all?

The outer check ("is log level debug?") is there to make this function
to do nothing (including ether_format_addr) if log level > debug. I
could not find a good way to combine the level test,
ether_format_addr, and rte_log into one clean macro..

Since this function is on a slow path, I think I can just remove the
level check and do something like the following. Would this satisfy
your concern?

char mac_str[ETHER_ADDR_FMT_SIZE];
ether_format_addr(mac_str, ETHER_ADDR_FMT_SIZE, addr);
PMD_INIT_LOG(DEBUG, " %s address %s\n", add ? "add" : "remove", mac_str);

Thanks.

Hi Hyong,

Thanks for sharing the information a query 'is ENIC Poll Mode Driver is been updated too?'(Section 16 under Network Interface Controller). 
a. If yes is it ok to link the patchwork in comment section? 
b. If no, will you be updating the documentation?

Thanks

Vipin,

I am not planning to update the enic guide, as these changes (fw
version string, multicast filtering) do not need additional
explanations. Did you have something else in mind?

Thanks..

Thanks for sharing the information.

In my humble opinion

In documentation section '16.13. Supported features' states 'Unicast, multicast and broadcast transmission and reception'. So multicast 'filtering' to be added as supported feature or not is upto the individual for the PMD. But as you shared the information ' I am not planning to update the enic guide' I will leave this open to others for comment.

Question: Will there update for test cases for mac filtering been added? Reason the patch set is not covering test case addition.

I see what you mean now. Sure, I will send another patch to update
that section later. As is, it is really a duplicate of
doc/guides/nics/features. Not sure if we want to keep maintaining two
copies of the same information.

We have an internal DTS based test case for multicast filtering. Do we
need to mention test cases in commit logs now? I am a bit confused
where this question is coming from..

Apologies if the question was not clear, Let me try again 'Is there plan add test cases under dpdk/test/test folder?'

Thanks for update, hope we can see some unit test for enabling multicast filtering in upcoming cycles.
