[Ye, ShushenX]

suggest dpdk transplant to window platform

in windows platform 1G NIC only can use 10% line rate in small packet mode, in big concurrent TCP link environment, It's too slow,
I have high concurrent task system(in windows), Performance is very good, It's can solve  c10k problem, in windows, It's can reach 10 million TCP link ,
However iops only 100k, it's far from reaching 1G NIC's 1.4 million iops
If dpdk can  provide mul queue packet  interface to Windows user mode , It will be exciting.

Hi

I have recently downloaded 16.04, in this version also i could see KNI random mac generation behavior. Is there any plan to fix this or it is purposefully made like that? if i am wrongly understood this random generation, please explain its purpose.

Thanks

Dear DPDK Users,


I have been reading the pktgen-3.0.02 source codes with dpdk-16.04.


In the pktgen.c, function pktgen_send_pkts(), line 1098, it calls function wr_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk_noreset().  Then it calls the function rte_mempool_get_bulk() which calls the function __mempool_get_bulk().


Since in the function rte_pktmbuf_pool_create(), the "flags" is set to zero in default, this leads to that when calling __mempool_get_bulk(), the input parameter"is_mc==1". Hence the function __mempool_get_bulk() will execute the line 961-992 except that when "ret" is less that 0.


My question is why at line 992, this has to return 0? In the line 941, the comment says that  ">=0: Success; number of objects supplied." I am confused by this comment, since in line 985-990, we can see that the input parameter "obj_table" is supplied by new values and the number of the new values is "n". Does this means that we need to "return n;" instead of "return 0;"?


Am I missing something here? Thank you so much for your help.


All the best,

Xiaoban

I checked out dpdk v16.04 and could not get your line numbers to workout, maybe you are on a slightly different version then release 16.04??

The statement ?>=0 number of objects supplied? also confused me some, but routines rte_ring_mc/sc_dequeue_bulk() returns zero on success when all requested objects are return not the number of objects returned. It seems it would be nice to have the number of objects returned, but as it is always ?n? it is best to return  < 0 on error. The _bulk allocate will not return a les then ?n? objects, this is why the code in pktgen tests for zero and not something greater then zero. The code in pktgen could test for ret >= 0 but the results are the same.

Dear Keith,

Yes, I see the checking for 0 in the pktgen codes. Maybe it is more clear if returns n like the wirte() in linux, but it also means a lot of codes need to be rewritten. As long as it is consistent and we know how to work around it, it should be fine. Thanks so much for your reply.

All the best,
Xiaoban
