I am planing to use "rte_eth_from_rings" like model where I will be able to read and write to the ring for the packets punted from vendor chip. the eth_dev abstraction provided by "rte_eth_from_rings" helps to build the dpdk data path.

I have created eth_dev from the rings as below. rt = rte_eth_from_rings(port_p->name, (struct rte_ring * const*)port_p->rx_ring_p, 2, (struct rte_ring * const*)port_p->tx_ring_p, 2, rte_socket_id()); Lets say I have a call back something like pkt_rx(void * pkt_p, struct pkt_metadata_t *meta_p) which is called when there is a pkt at the chip. inside this function(pkt_rx) i will find the port and the corresponding ring_p and enqueue the pkt into the queue. I am assuming this should work. Kindly correct me if i misunderstood you. question 2: Can use this eth_dev to create KNI interface, like below. rte_eth_dev_info_get(fp_p->port_list[port].key.port_id, &dev_info); ; ; ; ops.port_id = fp_p->port_list[port].key.port_id; // rt from rte_eth_from_rings(...) ops.change_mtu = _kni_ifconfig_mtu; // static function ops.config_network_if = _kni_ifconfig; // static functions PORT(fp_p, port).kni_p = rte_kni_alloc(PORT(fp_p, port).mbuf_p, &conf, &ops); I am assuming this should work as well. I find the netdevs created but when i try to configure them i am facing the following error. root@ VM snaproute/softpath (master) >ifconfig PORT_8 PORT_8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr be:35:c3:0f:f8:2f BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) root@ VM snaproute/softpath (master) >ifconfig PORT_8 20.1.1.1/24 up SIOCSIFFLAGS: Timer expired SIOCSIFFLAGS: Timer expired root@ VM snaproute/softpath (master) > Thanks for the help.

I also tried to do ioctl in interface, ifr.ifr_flags |= (IFF_UP | IFF_RUNNING); ioctl(fp_p->port_ioctl, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr); this call fails. What am i missing ? can you kindly point out my mistake here. the eth_dev the KNI bound to is the eth_dev created from ring buffer. (my dev environment is ubuntu 16.04 VM but eventual the code will be running on ONL. do i need to have any kernel flags. i am running rte_kni.ko without any args) Thanks, Sridhar **put some syslog into ret_kni and find rte_kni_handle_request is failling at ret = kni_fifo_get(kni->req_q, (void **)&req, 1); ________________________________ From: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson@intel.com> Sent: Monday, January 30, 2017 2:33 AM To: Sridhar Pitchai Cc: dev@dpdk.org; ferruh.yigit@intel.com Subject: Re: [dpdk-dev] rte_eth_from_rings On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 10:31:52PM +0000, Sridhar Pitchai wrote: > Thanks Bruce. > > > I have created eth_dev from the rings as below. > rt = rte_eth_from_rings(port_p->name, > (struct rte_ring * const*)port_p->rx_ring_p, 2, > (struct rte_ring * const*)port_p->tx_ring_p, 2, > rte_socket_id()); > > Lets say I have a call back something like > > pkt_rx(void * pkt_p, struct pkt_metadata_t *meta_p) > > which is called when there is a pkt at the chip. > inside this function(pkt_rx) i will find the port and the corresponding ring_p and > enqueue the pkt into the queue.
