146.2. Prerequisites

  1. Hardware: columbiaville_25g/columbiaville_100g

  2. Software: DPDK: http://dpdk.org/git/dpdk scapy: http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/

  3. Copy specific ice package to /lib/firmware/intel/ice/ddp/ice.pkg Then reboot server, and compile DPDK

  4. Generate 2 VFs on each PF and set mac address for each VF:

    echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:86:00.0/sriov_numvfs
echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:86:00.1/sriov_numvfs
ip link set enp134s0f0 vf 0 mac 00:11:22:33:44:55
ip link set enp134s0f0 vf 1 mac 00:11:22:33:44:66
ip link set enp134s0f1 vf 0 mac 00:11:22:33:44:77
ip link set enp134s0f1 vf 1 mac 00:11:22:33:44:88

    0000:86:00.0 generate 0000:86:01.0 and 0000:86:01.1 0000:86:00.1 generate 0000:86:11.0 and 0000:86:11.1 define 86:01.0 as vf00, 86:01.1 as vf01, 86:11.0 as vf10, 86:11.1 as vf11. assign mac address of pf0 is 68:05:ca:a3:1a:60, assign mac address of pf1 is 68:05:ca:a3:1a:61.

  5. Bind VFs to dpdk driver:

    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 86:01.0 86:01.1 86:11.0 86:11.1

  1. Launch the app testpmd with the following arguments:

    ./testpmd -c 0xff -n 6 -w 86:01.0 -w 86:01.1 --file-prefix=vf -- -i --rxq=16 --txq=16
testpmd> set fwd rxonly
testpmd> set verbose 1

  2. on tester side, copy the layer python file to /root:

    cp pfcp.py to /root

    then import layers when start scapy:

    >>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append('/root')
>>> from pfcp import PFCP
>>> from scapy.contrib.gtp import *
>>> from scapy.contrib.mpls import *

146.3. Test case: Max number

All the max number cases are designed based on 2*100G NIC. If the hardware is 4*25G NIC, the guaranteed rule number of PF is 512. So in subcase 3 and subcase 4, there can be created at most 14848 rules on 1pf and 2vfs.

146.3.1. Subcase 1: 14336 rules on 1 vf

  1. create 14336 rules on vf00:

    flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.0.0 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end
flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.0.1 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end
......
flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.55.255 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end

    all the rules are created successfully.

  2. create one more rule:

    flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.56.0 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end

    the rule failed to create. return the error message.

  3. check the rule list, there are 14336 rules listed.

  4. send matched packets for rule 0 and rule 14335:

    sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:55")/IP(src="192.168.0.20",dst="192.168.0.0")/Raw('x' * 80)],iface="enp134s0f1")
sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:55")/IP(src="192.168.0.20",dst="192.168.55.255")/Raw('x' * 80)],iface="enp134s0f1")

    check all packets are redirected to expected queue with FDIR matched ID=0x0

  5. create a rule on vf01, it failed, check the error message, the rule number has expired the max rule number.

  6. create a rule on vf10, it failed, check the error message, the rule number has expired the max rule number.

  7. flush all the rules, check the rule list, there is no rule listed.

  8. verify matched packets for rule 0 and rule 14335 received without FDIR matched ID.

146.3.2. Subcase 2: 14336 rules on 2 vfs of 2pfs

  1. start testpmd on vf00:

    ./testpmd -c 0xf -n 6 -w 86:01.0 --file-prefix=vf00 -- -i --rxq=4 --txq=4

    create 1 rule on vf00:

    flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.0.0 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end

    created successfully, check the rule is listed.

  2. start testpmd on vf10:

    ./testpmd -c 0xf0 -n 6 -w 86:0a.0 --file-prefix=vf10 -- -i --rxq=4 --txq=4

    create 14336 rules on vf10:

    flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.0.0 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end
flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.0.1 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end
......
flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.20 dst is 192.168.55.255 / end actions queue index 1 / mark / end

    all the rules except the last one are created successfully. check the rule list, there listed 14335 rules.

  3. send matched packet to vf00 and matched packet for rule 14334 to vf10, check all packets are redirected to expected queue with FDIR matched ID=0x0

  4. flush all the rules, check the rule list, there is no rule listed.

  5. verify matched packet received without FDIR matched ID.

each pf can create 1024 rules at least in 2 ports card. each pf can create 512 rules at least in 4 ports card. there are 14k rules shared by pfs and vfs. so 1 pf and 2 vfs can create 15360 rules at most on 2 ports card. 1 pf and 2 vfs can create 14848 rules at most on 4 ports card. so if create 15360/14848 rules on 1 pf, there can’t create rule on vf successfully.

testpmd> show port info all

    check the VF0 driver is net_ice_dcf.

  9. on tester side, copy the layer python file to /root:

      cp pfcp.py to /root

then import layers when start scapy::

  >>> import sys
  >>> sys.path.append('/root')
  >>> from pfcp import PFCP
  >>> from scapy.contrib.igmp import *

146.8. Test case: max rule number

Description: 32k switch filter rules can be created on a CVL card, and all PFs and VFs share the 32k rules. But the system will first create some MAC_VLAN rules in switch table, and as the number of rules increased, the hash conflicts in the switch filter table are increased, so we can create a total of 32563 switch filter rules on a DCF.

  1. create 32563 rules with the same pattern, but different input set:

    testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.0 / end actions vf id 1 / end
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.0.1 / end actions vf id 1 / end
......
testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.127.177 / end actions vf id 1 / end
testpmd> flow list 0

    check the rules exist in the list.

  2. create one more rule:

    testpmd> flow create 0 ingress pattern eth / ipv4 src is 192.168.127.178 / end actions vf id 1 / end

    check the rule can not be created successfully, and testpmd provide a friendly output, showing:

    ice_flow_create(): Failed to create flow
port_flow_complain(): Caught PMD error type 2 (flow rule (handle)): switch filter create flow fail: Invalid argument

  3. check the rule list

    testpmd> flow list 0

    check the rule in step 2 not exists in the list.

  4. send 32563 matched packets for rule 0-32562:

    sendp([Ether(dst="68:05:ca:8d:ed:a8")/IP(src="192.168.0.0")/TCP(sport=25,dport=23)/("X"*480)], iface="ens786f0", count=1)
sendp([Ether(dst="68:05:ca:8d:ed:a8")/IP(src="192.168.0.1")/TCP(sport=25,dport=23)/("X"*480)], iface="ens786f0", count=1)
......
sendp([Ether(dst="68:05:ca:8d:ed:a8")/IP(src="192.168.127.177")/TCP(sport=25,dport=23)/("X"*480)], iface="ens786f0", count=1)

    check port 1 receive the 32563 packets. send 1 mismatched packet:

    sendp([Ether(dst="68:05:ca:8d:ed:a8")/IP(src="192.167.0.1")/TCP(sport=25,dport=23)/("X"*480)], iface="ens786f0", count=1)

    check the packet are not to port 1.

  5. verify rules can be destroyed:

    testpmd> flow flush 0
testpmd> flow list 0

    check the rules not exist in the list. send 32563 matched packets, check the packets are not to port 1.
