Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/vmdq: Fix the core dump issue when mem_pool is more than 34

[Xu, Qian Q]

Tested-by: Qian Xu<qian.q.xu@intel.com>
Commit: c36a82f045ae362b76af4f2a53af10a2a4d2d20f
Test platform: HSW server
OS: Fedora 20
Kernel : 3.18
1. Bind 2ports to igb_uio
2. Run vmdq sample : ./examples/vmdq/build/vmdq_app -n 4 -c 0x1e -- -p 0x3 --nb-pools 63
3. Send 63 flows with different MAC/VLAN and see the output.
4. No crash at the app, before the app will be core dumped due to the queue number is too small. 
Test result: Pass


Thanks
Qian

Hi Pablo,

I mean vmdq pools when I say mem_pools.
And as you say, NUM_MBUFS_PER_PORT should be increased actually. 
I may use macro to replace the old expression. 
#define NUM_MBUFS_PER_PORT (MAX_QUEUES * max(RTE_TEST_RX_DESC_DEFAULT,RTE_TEST_TX_DESC_DEFAULT))
And this patch is to fix the issue about running VMDQ on  Fortville, so the maximum number of queues is larger than 128.
Thank you very much for your advice!

Thanks,
Xutao

Just for clarification, when you say mem_pools, do you mean vmdq pools?
Also, if you are going to increase MAX_QUEUES, shouldn't you increase the NUM_MBUFS_PER_PORT?
Looking at the comment below, looks like there is a calculation of number of mbufs based on number of queues.
Plus, I assume 128 is the maximum number of queues per port, and as far as I know,
only Fortville supports 256 as maximum.

Thanks,
Pablo

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] examples/vmdq: Fix the core dump issue when mem_pool is more than 34

[Xutao Sun]

Macro MAX_QUEUES was defined to 128, only allow 16 mem_pools in theory.
When running vmdq_app with more than 34 mem_pools,
it will cause the core_dump issue.
Change MAX_QUEUES to 1024 will solve this issue.
