[dpdk-dev] [RFC 0/3] ethdev: add ptype as Rx offload

[dpdk-dev] [RFC 0/3] ethdev: add ptype as Rx offload

[pbhagavatula]

From: Pavan Nikhilesh <pbhagavatula@marvell.com>

Add PTYPE to DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_* flags.

Currently, most of the NICs already support PTYPE parsing and update
the mbuf->packet_type through an internal lookup table, but there is
no way to disable the lookup if the application is not intrested in
ptypes returned by `rte_eth_dev_get_supported_ptypes`.

Pavan Nikhilesh (3):
  ethdev: add ptype as an Rx offload
  net: update Rx offload capabilities
  examples: add Rx ptype offload

[Hemant]  it will also mean introducing another check in datapath, if the application has asked for PTYPE offload - copy the results to mbuf->packet_type otherwise don't do it. 

Your second patch is incomplete in the sense that it only adds the capability. But it does not disable the lookups?

I think that having the check would give better performance than loading ptype table to L1 
doing  a lookup and copying it to mbuf when the application doesn't need it.

>Your second patch is incomplete in the sense that it only adds the

It is upto the maintainer of the PMD to disable the lookup in data path. If there is a scope of optimization 
then they could do it. There is no harm in exposing  PTYPE even RX_OFFLOAD_PTYPE is not enabled.
I was hesitant to touch data path as it would be impossible to verify performance effect on all NICs.

I like the idea. I think there are few more Rx features which
lack Rx offload bit:
  - delivery of RSS hash in mbuf (it is not always required when
    RSS is used to distribute packets across Rx queues)
  - maybe Rx mark, since it is an extra information which could
    be passed by NIC to CPU and it is better to know in advance
    at Rx queue setup if it should be requested and processed

API breakage should be considered here. I think it is OK to
introduce it in the next release cycle in a dummy way which
does not affect packet type delivery for existing PMDs
(i.e. add offload capability and advertise in PMD, but do not
take it into account when Rx mbuf is filled in) and
submit deprecation notice that it may be taken into account
by PMDs in 20.02 to avoid packet type delivery if the offload
is not requested. It will allow applications to make transition
smoother.

Anyway, if PMD decides that it is better to always provide packet type
information - there is no harm. Basically if the offload is not requested
it makes packet_type undefined in mbuf.

I think it is the right way to approach it especially taking transition 
into account.

I didn't look at the rest of the patch series yet, but these 3 lines above seems wrong.
and not related to that subject. 
Probably something wrong with your merge process.

Are you referring to RTE_FLOW_ACTION_TYPE_MARK?

Couldn’t agree with you more. I could extend the current RFC to include 
RSS and RX mark as we would be modifying the same offload fields across 
all drivers. Easier for PMD maintainers too.

I would rather the ptype offload be always on and handled in software
for drivers that don't do it.

It sounds like wasting of CPU cycle for nothing in some cases.
Also where should software stop? There are various tunnels etc.
If application is unhappy with supported classification provided
by the driver, it can always use software parser if really required.

With hardline API policy, this has to fail on compile for old applications.
You can't magically assume that applications using ptype will set new feature.
