[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 0/2] examples/client_server_mp: fix port issues

[Stephen Hemminger]

The client_server_mp application does not work correctly
Azure/Hyper-V because it does not handle the concept of some
ports being hidden and unavailable.

  examples/multi_process/client_server_mp: check port validity
  examples/multi_process - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

v3 - merge both patches in one series
     use alternative algorithm to check port ownership (N^2)
     because reviewer didn't like direct check.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/2] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp: check port validity

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_server incorrectly allows a port mask that included hidden
ports and which later caused either lost packets or failed initialization.

This fixes explicitly checking that each bit in portmask is a
valid port before using it.

The max_ports parameter is no longer necessary, so remove it
from the caller.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 2/2] examples/multi_process - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. In that case, the tx_buffer and tx_stats for the
real port were initialized correctly, but the wrong port was used.

For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.

Also:
   - the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked
     unlikely
   - combine conditions to reduce indentation
   - avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.

Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 0/4] examples/client_server_mp: fix port issues

[Stephen Hemminger]

The client_server_mp application does not work correctly
with failsafe or other devices using port ownership.

v4 - fix checkpatch warning
     add patches to fix style issues and use ether format addr

v3 - merge both patches in one series
     use alternative algorithm to check port ownership (N^2)
     because reviewer didn't like direct check.

Why not just to do something like:

RTE_ETH_FOREACH_DEV(id) {
	If (pm & (1 << id)) {
		pm &= ~(1 << id) 
		put in list
	}
}
	If (pm)

This is an example for the users\developers, and you on it,
I think this is a good chance to show how to do it in the correct way - O(n) instead O(n^2).

Don't you think so?
 
I suggest to adjust.

This is a toy example short loops, it doesn't matter.
It is important to catch case where portmask contains hidden ports.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v4 2/4] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. In that case, the tx_buffer and tx_stats for the
real port were initialized correctly, but the wrong port was used.

For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.

Also:
   - the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked
     unlikely
   - combine conditions to reduce indentation
   - avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.

Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 0/4] examples/client_server_mp: port id fixes

[Stephen Hemminger]

The client_server_mp application does not work correctly
with failsafe or other devices using port ownership.

v5 - change logic in server_mp for evaluating port mask

v4 - fix checkpatch warning
     add patches to fix style issues and use ether format addr

v3 - merge both patches in one series
     use alternative algorithm to check port ownership (N^2)
     because reviewer didn't like direct check.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 1/4] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp: check port validity

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_server incorrectly allows a port mask that included hidden
ports and which later caused either lost packets or failed initialization.

This fixes explicitly checking that each bit in portmask is a
valid port before using it.

Fixes: 5b7ba31148a8 ("ethdev: add port ownership")

Why pm > UINT16_MAX ? should be something like > (1 << RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS) - 1.
And need to be sure pm type can hold RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS bits, otherwise port 0 may unlikely be all the time visible in the loop below.

The DPDK assumes a lot of places that unsigned long will hold a port mask.
If some extra bits are set, the error is visible later when the bits are leftover
after finding ports.

The original code had worse problems, it would not catch invalid pm values at all
and truncate silently.

So, all are bugs, no?

Yes, but if there is a valid port which its port id is bigger than the portmask bits number - port 0 will be all the time visible in the check -> bug.

Yes, maybe, but I really don't understand why you chose to limit for 16 ports, where this number come from?
So, my approach here, 2 options:

1. Remove this line change at all.
2. Do the portmask check bug-free.

I don't think 32 bit build is that well tested. But yes a mask
needs to hold 64 ports.

The problem  here was my mistake for not having wide enough portmask.

What if someone changes RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS to be bigger than 64 in config file?

Assume the user changes RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS to 128, and there is a valid port in range [64, 127].
Then,  assume the failsafe sub device owns port ID 0.

Because the mask bits are not enough to handle the above range, you will get port 0 as valid port - bug.

I think you need one more check to the RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS > 64 case.

Not really needed.

The DPDK has lots of hard coded assumptions of all ports fitting in 64 bits.
Examples include testpmd/parameters.c etc.

The original concept of a small set of assigned values for portid is not going
to scale. It really should have been more like ifindex; something that is not
used by common API's much larger range; and assigned purely sequentially.

The API's should all be using names, but the DPDK port naming is also a mess...

Yes, I understand, but the user should know not to change the default value of 
RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS, at least it should be documented.

Port ID is OK, user can run port info, then to find the wanted port ID and configure it by port id list\bitmap.

The examples are toy programs. If user changes RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS it will break
lots of other places. Why put more checks in the examples. Sorry, it really
would not help to pretend that fixing the example is going to help this.

The original code was broken with behavior introduced with port ownership
and these patches try to help fix that.

Still think Port ID is a lousy API for real applications. It is fine for the
DPDK literati but terrible user experience for the average user.
It requires too hands on an experience. For example, the port id values change in
non-obvious ways when using port ownership like failsafe does.

Agree that it is not needed to fix all the places now.
It is better just to update the example documentation that RTE_MAX_ETHPORTS must not be changed when running this application.

I will ack your series(v7) , Consider to update the doc if you want to be completely perfect here.

I think there are systems with a lot of virtual ports which may use more than 64.

So update all the docs when the mask is defined, would be option too.

It would be good if (ie someone should do it but I don't have time);
to have a new type "port_set"  which is a variable length bit mask

It could be backwards compatible with existing usage.
Something like existing cpuset command format.

       Examples of the Mask Format:

           00000001                        # just bit 0 set
           40000000,00000000,00000000      # just bit 94 set
           00000001,00000000,00000000      # just bit 64 set
           000000ff,00000000               # bits 32-39 set
           00000000,000e3862               # 1,5,6,11-13,17-19 set

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v5 2/4] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. In that case, the tx_buffer and tx_stats for the
real port were initialized correctly, but the wrong port was used.

For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.

Also:
   - the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked
     unlikely
   - combine conditions to reduce indentation
   - avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.

Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 0/2] examples/client_server_mp: port id (fixes only)

[Stephen Hemminger]

v6 - just include fixes; cleanups can wait until 19.11

v5 - change logic in server_mp for evaluating port mask

v4 - fix checkpatch warning
     add patches to fix style issues and use ether format addr

v3 - merge both patches in one series
     use alternative algorithm to check port ownership (N^2)
     because reviewer didn't like direct check.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 1/2] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp: check port validity

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_server incorrectly allows a port mask that included hidden
ports and which later caused either lost packets or failed initialization.

This fixes explicitly checking that each bit in portmask is a
valid port before using it.

Fixes: 5b7ba31148a8 ("ethdev: add port ownership")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/2] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. In that case, the tx_buffer and tx_stats for the
real port were initialized correctly, but the wrong port was used.

For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.

Also:
   - the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked
     unlikely
   - combine conditions to reduce indentation
   - avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.

Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 0/2] examples/client_server_mp: port id (fixes only)

[Stephen Hemminger]

v7 - widen port mask to allow 64 ports

v6 - just include fixes; cleanups can wait until 19.11

v5 - change logic in server_mp for evaluating port mask

v4 - fix checkpatch warning
     add patches to fix style issues and use ether format addr

v3 - merge both patches in one series
     use alternative algorithm to check port ownership (N^2)
     because reviewer didn't like direct check.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 1/2] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp: check port validity

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_server incorrectly allows a port mask that included hidden
ports and which later caused either lost packets or failed initialization.

This fixes explicitly checking that each bit in portmask is a
valid port before using it.

That is a valid discussion but out of scope for this patch which is a bug
fix for users.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v7 2/2] examples/multi_process/client_server_mp - fix crash in mp_client with sparse ports

[Stephen Hemminger]

From: Stephen Hemminger <sthemmin@microsoft.com>

The mp_client crashes if run on Azure or any system where ethdev
ports are owned. In that case, the tx_buffer and tx_stats for the
real port were initialized correctly, but the wrong port was used.

For example if the server has Ports 3 and 5. Then calling
rte_eth_tx_buffer_flush on any other buffer will dereference null
because the tx buffer for that port was not allocated.

Also:
   - the flush code is common enough that it should not be marked
     unlikely
   - combine conditions to reduce indentation
   - avoid unnecessary if() if sent is zero.

Fixes: e2366e74e029 ("examples: use buffered Tx")
