[PATCH] child process synchronization NIC startup parameters

[PATCH] child process synchronization NIC startup parameters

[Kaisen You]

In meson_test, because the child process does not synchronize
the NIC startup parameters of the parent process at startup,
it uses all NICs bound by vfio as startup parameters by default,
and an exception occurs in the subsequent hugefile check,
causing the test to fail. Synchronize the NIC startup parameters
of the parent process to the child process to solve this problem.

Not portable outside of Linux.
Seems really bug prone to have test diving into /proc to find
command line of parent. Couldn't this be passed one of many other
ways into child?

[PATCH v2] app/test:subprocess synchronization of parameters

[Kaisen You]

In meson_test, because the child process does not synchronize
the NIC startup parameters of the parent process at startup,
it uses all NICs bound by vfio as startup parameters by default,
and an exception occurs in the subsequent hugefile check,
causing the test to fail. Synchronize the NIC startup parameters
of the parent process to the child process to solve this problem.

[PATCH v2] app/test:subprocess synchronization of parameters

[Kaisen You]

In meson_test, because the child process does not synchronize
the NIC startup parameters of the parent process at startup,
it uses all NICs bound by vfio as startup parameters by default,
and an exception occurs in the subsequent hugefile check,
causing the test to fail. Synchronize the NIC startup parameters
of the parent process to the child process to solve this problem.

Rather than a new patch because of some compilation issue on the
implementation, please explain what you are trying to fix.
It may avoid wasting time.

[PATCH v4] app/test: append 'allow' parameters to secondary processes

[Mingjin Ye]

The 'allow' parameters are not passed to the secondary process, and all
devices will be loaded by default. When the primary process specifies
the 'allow' parameters and does not specify all devices that use the
vfio-pci driver, the secondary process will not load the devices as
expected, which will return incorrect test results.

This patch fixes this issue by appending the 'allow' parameters to the
secondary process.

Since you need two slots for each element, you need to check that count+1 <
max_capacity.

However, a better solution is to have just one flag for each dev-args. So
instead of returning an array with e.g.

["--allow", "a8:00.0", "--allow", "b8:00.0"]

instead use the "--allow=" syntax to merge elements, returning:

["--allow=a8:00.0", "--allow=b8:00.0"]

this would make your capacity check correct.

Minor suggestion. Rather than having an else leg here, just move the
definitions of name_length and data_length inside the loop, so you can
zero-initialize it each time.

An even simpler option might be to just use a single malloc_size variable
as you don't need the others:

	malloc_size = strlen(devargs->name) + 1;
	if (malloc_size == 0)
		continue;

	malloc_size += strlen(PREFIX_ALLOW); /* which now has the "=" */
	if (devargs->data != NULL)
		malloc_size += strlen(devargs->data)

Check for NULL return from malloc.

If merging flags, you can remove the *2 here and in the argv_num = line.

Do we need a comma "," before devargs->data in the output string?

Sorry for the late feedback, but I believe this whole block can be
hugely simplified by using asprintf.

	RTE_EAL_DEVARGS_FOREACH(NULL, devargs) {
		if (devargs->data == NULL) {
			if (asprintf(&argv[count], PREFIX_ALLOW"%s", devargs->name) < 0)
				break;
		} else {
			if (asprintf(&argv[count], PREFIX_ALLOW"%s,%s",
					 devargs->name, devargs->data) < 0)
				break;
		}
		if (++count == max_capacity)
			break;
	}

This way, the only variables you actually need are devargs and count.

Check return from malloc.

Free is ok to call with NULl, so you can skip the check and just do

	for (i = 0; i < num; i++)
		free(argv_cpy[i]);

[PATCH v6] app/test: secondary process passes allow parameters

[Mingjin Ye]

In EAL related test cases, the allow parameters are not passed to
the secondary process, resulting in unexpected NICs being loaded.

This patch fixes this issue by appending the allow parameters to
the secondary process.

Hi,

I acked v6. If nothing major has changed in the patch, then the ack can be
kept for v7. If there is something that has changed that you think I should
look at, please include it in the change-log, so I can check it out.

For now, assuming no major changes:

Acked-by: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com>

RE: [PATCH v7] app/test: secondary process passes allow parameters

[Ye, MingjinX]

Hi, 

Thanks for the ack. would like to change the state of the patch, which will be merged into the dpdk.

Change: The "--allow" parameter is added when the number of allow is greater than zero.

Thanks,
Mingjin
