[dpdk-dev] PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT when VLAN stripping is disabled

[dpdk-dev] PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT when VLAN stripping is disabled

[John Daley (johndale)]

Hi,

When VLAN stripping is disabled, X710 and 82599ES act differently for me in this case when receiving VLAN tagged packets. On 82599ES the flag is set but on X710 the flag not set.

Do I maybe have old X710 firmware? Or is it not set for X710 on purpose in this case and instead the flag is used to indicate if vlan_tci is valid? Right now the enic pmd does what my X710 does, which I think is incorrect and I want to fix it.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
>From rte_mbuf.h:
#define PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT      (1ULL << 0)  /**< RX packet is a 802.1q VLAN packet. */
So yes, in theory it should be set up for vlan packet with both stripping on/off.
The problem is that (as far as I know) when VLAN stripping is disabled  FVL RXD doesn't contain information
does that packet contain a VLAN or not.
Don't really know what is the best option in that case: keep things as it is or change the meaning of
the VLAN_PKT flag to indicate is mbuf.vlan_tci field is valid or not.

It seems the meaning of the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT bit depends on the port
configuration:
- if vlan stripping is configured, it means VLAN is present in vlan_tci
  mbuf field
- if not configured, it means a VLAN is present in the packet

I don't think this is a good behavior since the application has to know
the port configuration to properly interpret the meaning of the flag.

I suggest to change the meaning of this flag to: "vlan was stripped by
hardware, and vlan tag is now located in m->vlan_tci".

The same could apply to PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT and m->outer_vlan_tci.

We could add a new packet_type to tell if the mbuf is a VLAN/QinQ is
detected in the packet but not stripped.

Example:

- vlan stripping is disabled

  - vlan packet recvd: flags=0, ptype=RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN
  - qinq packet recvd: flags=0, ptype=RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ

- vlan stripping is enabled

  - vlan packet recvd: flags=PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT, ptype=RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER,
        m->vlan_tci=id
  - qinq packet recvd: flags=PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT|PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT,
        ptype=RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER, m->vlan_tci=id, m->vlan_tci_outer=id


Thoughts?

Sounds like a reasonable change to me.

Re: [dpdk-dev] PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT when VLAN stripping is disabled

[John Daley (johndale)]

Hi Olivier and Ananyev,

I like the new packet types and how they work the same for VLAN and QINQ. Just so I understand your suggestion, X710 (as it seems to work today) would not set RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN  in dev_supported_ptypes_get() because it does not know how to determine that packet type in the receive path if stripping is disabled? But if stripping was enabled, the application could still trust m->vlan_tci if the flag was set?

Re changing the meaning of the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT flag- I think it could cause hard to find errors and confusion. I would rather see the flag deprecated and a new one defined. Perhaps the flag could be called PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED*.

Maybe another less elegant but more compatible solution would be just keep the Niantic behavior and fix other pmd's to match its behavior. For X710, with vlan stripping disabled this might mean looking at each packet's Ethernet type and set the flag accordingly.  It might not be too expensive since Ethernet type is in the 1st cacheline and hopefully prefetched. Thoughts?

*In the future perhaps another flag could be added called PKT_RX_VLAN_TCI_VALID. This may not be the same as PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED- enic and maybe some other nics are able to set vlan_tci even when not stripping vlan tags and this feature could be exposed with this separate flag.

Well, this depends on the exact meaning of the supported_ptype flags:
does it mean that the hw/driver *must* recognize and set the
ptype or does it mean that the hw/driver *can* recognize and set the
ptype?

In case a packet with 2 vlans is received, if the hw/driver is able
to strip the first one and recognize the second one, I would say
that RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN should be set in the mbuf flags.

I don't think the ixgbe behavior is correct. Today, depending on the
configuration (vlan stripped or not), the meaning of the flag is
different. This is not useable in an application that may use several
ports with different configurations.

At first read, I would say it's a bit overkill because it will
complexify the combinatorial dimension of the offload flags. But
if you agree, let's say it's another topic and focus on the fix
of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT first.

[dpdk-dev] [RFC] mbuf: new flag when vlan is stripped

[Olivier Matz]

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.

Following discussion in http://dpdk.org/ml/archives/dev/2016-April/037837.html,
introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED
that are better defined:

  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
  tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
  is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.

For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.

This patch also try to fix the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:

- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
  had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
  required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done for standard mode (vector does not support
  vlan stripping)
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.

For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the meaning was
already correct, so we can reuse the same value for PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

Hi,

This is a draft patch that implements what was previously discussed,
except the packet_type, which does not exist for vlan today (and I
think it is not mandatory for now, let's do it in another patch).

After doing this patch, it appeared that ixgbe was the only driver that
had a different behavior for the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT flag. An alternative
to this patch would be to only change the behavior of the ixgbe driver,
and just document better document the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT flags in
rte_mbuf.h without adding new flags. I think this is a better option.

Comments are welcome.

There are applications depending on the current behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT as confusing as it may be.  I know of one that has VLAN stripping disabled and uses the flag to determine if the packet delivered to the app has a VLAN tag. This is actually how the flag behaves for ixgbe, and they patched enic and maybe other drivers to act accordingly. To avoid breaking the app (and any others like it), I think we should keep the flag behavior the same and add the new flag PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED .

We should follow on with the new packet type since it enables a nice performance improvement by not forcing apps to break open the packet just to see if there is a VLAN tag.

Thanks,
john

OK, thanks for your comment.
So it means the v1 will be the same than RFC. I'm submitting it.

Yep, agree.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] mbuf: new flag when Vlan is stripped

[Olivier Matz]

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.

Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:

  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
  tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
  is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.

For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.

This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:

- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
  had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
  required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done for standard mode (vector does not support
  vlan stripping)
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.

For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the meaning was
already correct, so we can reuse the same value for PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

RFC -> v1:
- fix checkpatch and check-git-log.sh issues
- add a deprecation notice for the old vlan flags
- rebase on head

> Subject: [PATCH] mbuf: new flag when Vlan is stripped
> 
> The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
> PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.
> 
> Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
> and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:
> 
>   PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
>   tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
>   is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.
> 
> For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
> It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.
> 
> This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:
> 
> - e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
>   had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
>   required.
> - fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
>   PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
> - ixgbe: modification done for standard mode (vector does not support
>   vlan stripping)
> - the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.
> 
> For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the meaning was
> already correct, so we can reuse the same value for PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

I don't see ixgbe/i4oe_rxtx_vec.c updated.
Would it be another patch for them?
Thanks

The ixgbe vector and i40e vector do not support vlan stripping, so
from what I see there is nothing to do:
- The new flag PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED is never returned
- We keep the old behavior for PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT.

Hi,

You are right, I misinterpreted this code in condition_check():

#ifndef RTE_IXGBE_RX_OLFLAGS_ENABLE
	/* whithout rx ol_flags, no VP flag report */
	if (rxmode->hw_vlan_strip != 0 ||
	    rxmode->hw_vlan_extend != 0)
		return -1;
#endif

I'll update the patch accordingly, thanks for reviewing.

Instead of storing in rxq (and passing as a parameter) a bool value for vlan_strip (=on/off),
you probably can store in rxq and pass as a parameter here uint64_t vlan_flags;
Then it will be:
 
rx_desc_status_to_pkt_flags(uint32_t rx_status, uint64_t vlan_flags)
{
   ...
   pkt_flags = (rx_status & IXGBE_RXD_STAT_VP) ?  vlan_flags : 0;
   ...
}

...
pkt_flags = rx_desc_status_to_pkt_flags(s[j], rxq->vlan_flags);

Might help to save few cycles here.

Yep, will do in v2.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] mbuf: new flag when Vlan is stripped

[Olivier Matz]

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.

Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:

  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
  tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
  is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.

For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.

This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:

- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
  had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
  required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
  when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.

For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

v1 -> v2:
- fix ixgbe (vector mode) and i40e (normal and vector mode)
- store vlan flags instead of a boolean value in ixgbe rxq, as
  suggested by Konstantin
- replay tests on ixgbe (normal + vector) and i40e (normal +
  vector). See below.

RFC -> v1:
- fix checkpatch and check-git-log.sh issues
- add a deprecation notice for the old vlan flags
- rebase on head


This patch is tested on ixgbe (normal + vector), i40e (normal +
vector) and igb (hardware is a 82575):

  # we use scapy to send packets like this:
  # Ether(src="00:01:02:03:04:05", dst="00:1B:21:AB:8F:10")/Dot1Q(vlan=0x666)/IP()/UDP()/Raw("x"*32)

I am not sure it has to be deprecated & removed.
ixgbe (and igb as I can read the specs) devices can provide information is that
a vlan packet or not even when vlan stripping is disabled. 
Right now ixgbe PMD do carry thins information to the user,
and I suppose igb could be improved to carry it too.
So obviously we need a way to pass that information to the upper layer.
I remember it was a discussion about introducing new packet_type
instead of ol_flag value PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT.
But right now it is not there, and again I don't know how easy it would be to replace
one with another without performance considering that packet_type is not supported
now by ixgbe vRX.
If we would be able to replace it, then yes we can deprecate and drop the   PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT.
But till then, I think we'd better keep it.

I suppose your need here:
RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON(((PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT | PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED) & UINT8_MAX) == 
PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT | PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED));

To make sure both flags are inside first 8 bits?

Probably better to do that check/ AND at setup  phase, not run-time?
As a nit: s/0xff/UINT8_MAX/.

I think the packet_type feature would be more appropriate than a flag
for carrying this kind of info.

Currently the behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is not properly defined,
and it is not the same on all PMDs. So, from an application
perspective, it's not usable except if it knows that the underlying
PMD is an ixgbe. This is not acceptable for a generic API and that's
why I think this flag, as it is today, should be deprecated.

It won't prevent an application from using the flag right after my
commit, but it will warn the user that the flag should not be used
as is. If someone is willing to work on this feature for 16.11, why
not but again, I think using the packet_type is more appropriate.

The problem is that I don't want to have this flag in this state
forever, and I also don't want to add in rte_mbuf.h a comment
saying "this flag does this on ixgbe and that on other drivers".

If we decide to generalize the ixgbe behavior for all PMDs for this
flag, it will break the applications relying on this flag but with
other PMDs. So for the same reason we added a new PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
we cannot change the behavior of an existing flag.

Yes, indeed that's much better than 14 'f' :)

Yep, agree, I'll change that.

Yes, but it might be apps which do use that ixgbe functionality.

I suppose we can't deprecate existing functionality without
providing working alternative.
I agree there is no proper way to know right now which device
supports it, which not, but to me it means we should add such ability,
not deprecate existing and (I believe) useful functionality.

I am not against providing that information via packet_type.
What I am saying:
1) right now it is not here.
2) it might not that easy in terms of performance.

Then we need either:
- implement it as ptype
- add user ability to query is that flag is supported by the underlying device.

Ok, then let's make PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED == PKT_RX_VLAN,
and assign new value to the  PKT_RX_VLAN.
Or have PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED == PKT_RX_VLAN and create a new one:
PKT_RX_VLAN_PRESENT or so.
?

I think adding this new flag/packet_type is a new feature,
because only ixgbe was behaving like this, and this was not
documented. To me, marking the old flag as deprecated is
a good compromise to keep the application relying on this
working. If you feel the term "deprecated" is not adapted,
we could reword it to something weaker.

We should try to not stay in that state too long, and anybody
willing to implement this feature would be welcome. For my
part, this is not something I plan to do yet.

Yes, that would do I think.
Basically my only concern that we will mark it as deprecated,
and then will remove it (as it is deprecated), without providing
anything new to replace it.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] mbuf: new flag when Vlan is stripped

[Olivier Matz]

The behavior of PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT was not very well defined, resulting in
PMDs not advertising the same flags in similar conditions.

Following discussion in [1], introduce 2 new flags PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED
and PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED that are better defined:

  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED: a vlan has been stripped by the hardware and its
  tci is saved in mbuf->vlan_tci. This can only happen if vlan stripping
  is enabled in the RX configuration of the PMD.

For now, the old flag PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT is kept but marked as deprecated.
It should be removed from applications and PMDs in a future revision.

This patch also updates the drivers. For PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT:

- e1000, enic, i40e, mlx5, nfp, vmxnet3: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already
  had the same meaning than PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, minor update is
  required.
- fm10k: done, PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT already had the same meaning than
  PKT_RX_VLAN_STRIPPED, and vlan stripping is always enabled on fm10k.
- ixgbe: modification done (vector and normal), the old flag was set
  when a vlan was recognized, even if vlan stripping was disabled.
- the other drivers do not support vlan stripping.

For PKT_RX_QINQ_PKT, it was only supported on i40e, and the behavior was
already correct, so we can reuse the same bit value for
PKT_RX_QINQ_STRIPPED.

Signed-off-by: Olivier Matz <olivier.matz@6wind.com>
---

v2 -> v3:
- remove the "deprecated" notice from PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT comment.
- use UINT8_MAX when appropriate in ixgbe_vec
- simplify check of vlan flags in RTE_BUILD_BUG_ON() in ixgbe_vec

v1 -> v2:
- fix ixgbe (vector mode) and i40e (normal and vector mode)
- store vlan flags instead of a boolean value in ixgbe rxq, as
  suggested by Konstantin
- replay tests on ixgbe (normal + vector) and i40e (normal +
  vector). See below.

RFC -> v1:
- fix checkpatch and check-git-log.sh issues
- add a deprecation notice for the old vlan flags
- rebase on head

This patch is tested on ixgbe (normal + vector), i40e (normal +
vector) and igb (hardware is a 82575):

  # we use scapy to send packets like this:
