Are the rx_missed_errors/rx_out_of_buffer counters always showing 0 no matter how fast you push your generator? I had a similar issue with missing counters on DPDK 20.11 that was fixed on 21.05 by applying this patch: http://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1614249901-307665-5-git-send-email-matan@nvidia.com/ Potentially relevant thread: https://inbox.dpdk.org/users/CAAcwi38rs2Vk9MKhRGS3kAK+=dYAnDdECT7f+Ts-f13cANYB+Q@mail.gmail.com/ On Wed, Oct 27, 2021 at 6:39 PM Yan, Xiaoping (NSB - CN/Hangzhou) < xiaoping.yan@nokia-sbell.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I checked the counter from PF with ethtool -S, there is no counter named > 'rx_prio0_buf_discard' > Anyway, I checked all counters from ethtool output, there is not any > counter reflects the dropped packets. > > Any suggestion from mlx maintainer? @Matan Azrad @Asaf Penso @Slava > Ovsiienko @Raslan Darawsheh > > Thank you. > > > Best regards > Yan Xiaoping > > -----Original Message----- > From: Martin Weiser > Sent: 2021年10月27日 15:54 > To: Yan, Xiaoping (NSB - CN/Hangzhou) ; > David Marchand > Cc: Asaf Penso ; users@dpdk.org; Slava Ovsiienko < > viacheslavo@nvidia.com>; Matan Azrad ; Raslan Darawsheh > > Subject: Re: mlx5 VF packet lost between rx_port_unicast_packets and > rx_good_packets > > Hi, > > you may want to check the counter 'rx_prio0_buf_discard' with ethtool > (which is not available in DPDK xstats as it seems that this counter is > global for the card and not available per port). > I opened a ticket a while ago regarding this issue: > https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=749 > > Best regards, > Martin > > > Am 27.10.21 um 08:17 schrieb Yan, Xiaoping (NSB - CN/Hangzhou): > > Hi, > > > > I tried with dpdk 20.11-3 downloaded from > > https://fast.dpdk.org/rel/dpdk-20.11.3.tar.xz > > Problem still exist: > > 1. there is packet loss with 2mpps (small packet), 2. no counter for > > the dropped packet in NIC. > > > > traffic generator stats: sends 41990938, receives back 41986105, lost > > 4833 testpmd fwd stats: RX-packets: 41986110, TX-packets: 41986110 > > port xstats: rx_unicast_packets: 41990938 (all packets reached to the > NIC port), rx_good_packets: 41986111 (some is lost), but there is not any > counter of the lost packet. > > > > Here is the log: > > [root@up-0 /]# dpdk-testpmd -l "2,3" --legacy-mem --socket-mem > > "5000,0" -a 0000:03:06.7 -- -i --nb-cores=1 --portmask=0x1 --rxd=512 > > --txd=512 > > EAL: Detected 28 lcore(s) > > EAL: Detected 2 NUMA nodes > > EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK > > EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket > > EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'VA' > > EAL: No available hugepages reported in hugepages-2048kB > > EAL: Probing VFIO support... > > EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:1018) device: 0000:03:06.7 > > (socket 0) > > mlx5_pci: cannot bind mlx5 socket: Read-only file system > > mlx5_pci: Cannot initialize socket: Read-only file system > > EAL: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created Interactive-mode > > selected > > testpmd: create a new mbuf pool : n=155456, size=2176, > > socket=0 > > testpmd: preferred mempool ops selected: ring_mp_mc > > > > Warning!
