net/bnxt: wrong link status when lsc_intr is used

net/bnxt: wrong link status when lsc_intr is used

[Edwin Brossette]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 8054 bytes --]

Hello,

I am trying to operate a Broadcom BCM57414 2x10G nic using dpdk bnxt pmd. I
use DPDK 22.11.
However, doing so I stumbled over a number of different issues. Mainly,
using the dpdk rte_eth library, I don't seem to be able to correctly poll
the link status: I expect my nic has a problem using autoneg to set the
link speed/duplex, because these parameters remain unknown while autoneg is
on. However, after trying to set link up, instead of showing the link state
as down, I see the link being up, which is in truth not the case, as no
packets can transit on the line and the switch at the other end sees it
down.

When searching around and trying to debug the code, I found the function
bnxt_dev_info_get_op() sets my nic in interrupt mode:

> eth_dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc = 1;

Which is a bit of a surprising thing to do for a function meant to get
info.
Thus my card ends up working in a mode I didn't configure it to, which may
be the cause of my issue: later when setting the link up in function
bnxt_dev_set_link_up_op():

>  if (!bp->link_info->link_up)
>     rc = bnxt_set_hwrm_link_config(bp, true);
>  if (!rc)
>     eth_dev->data->dev_link.link_status = 1;

So link_status in eth_dev gets set to 1 as long as the operation did not
return any error code. This is the case when setting my card's link up
(rc=0), although the link clearly can't get up, for whatever other bug is
present. Now this shouldn't be much of an issue given we will update the
link status at some point, mainly in rte_eth_link_get_nowait():

>  if (dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc && dev->data->dev_started)
>     rte_eth_linkstatus_get(dev, eth_link);
>  else {
>     if (*dev->dev_ops->link_update == NULL)
>         return -ENOTSUP;
>     (*dev->dev_ops->link_update)(dev, 0);
>      *eth_link = dev->data->dev_link;

Here we can see in the else statement that the link status gets updated.
However because the pmd auto-configured the nic in interrupt mode when
calling the get_info function, we are not going through that else
statement. So when reading the value of the link_status, we read 1 instead
of 0. I suppose with interrupt mode enabled, the nic should be able to
update this variable on its own, but it is clearly not the case in my
setup: link status is never updated and incorrectly indicates the link is
UP.

I can suggest a testpmd reproduction setup using the --no-lsc-interrupt
option. With this option, dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc should be 0. In addition,
I added a log to the rte_eth library in rte_eth_dev_start() to display
dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc state when starting the port:

> + RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR, "><><><><!!<devstart>:
dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf=%d\n", dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc);
>   diag = (*dev->dev_ops->dev_start)(dev);

Running testpmd, we can see the following outpout when starting port:

dpdk-testpmd --log-level=pmd.net.bnxt.driver:8 -a 0000:02:00.0 -a
0000:02:00.1 -- -i --rxq=2 --txq=2 --coremask=0x0c --total-num-mbufs=250000

Here, we can see that lsc interrupts are enabled even though we specified
not to enable them. Then given autoneg does not work on my nic, I can try
setting the link up and showing port info:

testpmd> set link-up port 0
bnxt_print_link_info(): Port 0 Link Up - speed 0 Mbps - half-duplex

testpmd> show port info 0

This shows link status is seen as up, even although link speed is None.

I was wondering if patching the code to move this line which sets lsc
interrupt on somewhere else might be reasonable, or if this could cause
further trouble. Maybe having a parameter to trigger it ON/OFF might be a
good addition.
May I have your opinion on this matter?

This was added long back in the driver code by this commit (as you can
see 6+ yrs old :)) , so I believe at the time the intent was to get
this link notification asynchronous
and 'lsc' I believe was for link state change?  Please suggest an
alternative place to do this or you may even post the patch yourself
to help do this the right way

So what happens if/when you get rid of that lsc setting line in
dev_info_get_op() and actually enabled the 'else' part of the above
code snippet ? Was it helping your link to come up with proper values?
What is your link status on the other side ? (I believe you said
switch port, but have you tried with another card connected back-back
?)  Also I'm assuming it comes up fine with the regular kernel driver
?
What does that show ?

Re: net/bnxt: wrong link status when lsc_intr is used

Hello,

Thank you for your quick answer.

This was added long back in the driver code by this commit (as you can
> see 6+ yrs old :)) , so I believe at the time the intent was to get
> this link notification asynchronous
> and 'lsc' I believe was for link state change?  Please suggest an

Looking into testpmd's code, I found the following piece of code in
init_port_config() :

  >  if (lsc_interrupt && (*port->dev_info.dev_flags &
RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC))
  >              port->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc = 1;

I believe the flag RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC is used to inform the application
that the pmd supports the use of link state change interrupts. Thus using
this flag, the application itself can decide whether or not to enable the
lsc interrupts depending on the need. The above code is used to enable
these interrupts if the option --no-lsc-interrupts was not specified at
test-pmd's start.

Therefore, I can suggest enabling this flag and removing the line which
sets lsc to 1 in bnxt_dev_info_get_op() so the above application can decide
to turn these interrupts ON/OFF.
A patch would look like something like this:

diff --git a/drivers/net/bnxt/bnxt_ethdev.c b/drivers/net/bnxt/bnxt_ethdev.c

I will submit a proper patch to dev as soon as I will have my subscription
to the mailing list verified.

It can be tested in test-pmd: When starting test-pmd with
--no-lsc-interrupt, the log I introduced previously shows:
><><><><!!<devstart>: dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf=0

If I start it without the option, it shows instead:
><><><><!!<devstart>: dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf=1

So what happens if/when you get rid of that lsc setting line in
> dev_info_get_op() and actually enabled the 'else' part of the above

With the patch, my link is displayed with the proper state: link cannot be
set up and is shown in down state, which corresponds to its actual state.
I can show the following testpmd logs to illustrate:

 Here you can see the link status appears down if lsc interrupts are turned
off, which is the expected result.

[PATCH] bnxt: fix unwanted interrupt config on link state change

[edwin.brossette]

From: Edwin Brossette <edwin.brossette@6wind.com>

When getting the device's info via bnxt_dev_info_get_op(), the device
enables interrupts on link state changes because of the following line:

  > eth_dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.lsc = 1;

Enabling this mode might not be wanted by the user.

The flag RTE_ETH_DEV_INTR_LSC can be used to inform the above
application that lsc interrupts are supported. Thus, checking this flag,
the user can decide whether or not to enable these interrupts.

Since there is no reason for a function meant to display config to
actually modify it, remove this line. In addition, raise the dev_flag
associated with this state on the device's intialization to show the
device supports link state change interrupts.

Fixes: 7bc8e9a227cc ("net/bnxt: support async link notification")

Great, thank you so much for your response..i see your patch submitted on
