Hello,
Following from a previous thread, I took up Bruce Richardson's advice to
modify the RSS redirection table(RETA) to exclude entries pointing to a
specific queue:
For e.g, this is the RETA table before any modifications are done:
*Default *Reta table:
0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1
2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0
1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2
0 1 2 0 1 2 0 1 2 0 0 0 0 0
I have initialized 3 queues on this NIC(82599-Niantic) and as can be seen,
NIC will forward traffic to queue's 1 & 2.
Now the reta table is modified so that everything goes to queue 0
*Modified* Reta table:
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
However despite this, RSS is loadbalancing packets on queues 1 & 2.
The following is a snippet of my code:
/*
* Rewrite the RETA(Redirection Table) for RSS
* We want all traffic to be RX'd on queue 0
* and only filtered traffic to be mapped to specific
* queues, with one per filter for us to report
* statistics
*/
struct rte_eth_rss_reta port_reta_conf;
memset(&port_reta_conf,0,sizeof(struct rte_eth_rss_reta));
port_reta_conf.mask_lo = 0xffffffffffffffff;
port_reta_conf.mask_hi = 0xfffffffffffffff;
int reta_ret = 0;
for (int rc = 0; rc < ETH_RSS_RETA_NUM_ENTRIES; rc++) {
port_reta_conf.reta[rc] = 0x00;
}
reta_ret = rte_eth_dev_rss_reta_update(port, &port_reta_conf);
printf("Reta return code: %d\n", reta_ret);
I have tried to restart the port, start/stop, linkup/linkdown but the
effect is the same: Reta table shows that it has all been zero'd out
however packets are still send to all configured queues. I am using DPDK
v1.7.0
Have others come across something similar? Any clues would be much
appreciated :)
