v6 changes
- add commit log description to link bondig mode 4
v5 changes
- fix compilation errors when CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_BOND=n
v4 changes:
- fix compilation error when building without mbuf refcnt
- testpmd: add slave state information in "show bonding config X" command
- change patch dependency to Declan Doherty v6
v3 changes:
This is a rework of previous patchset. Basic functionality is the same but
contain following changes:
- use one global array of slaves instead separate instance for every bonded
device (reduce memory usage). This also allow use of port id instead of
offsetting to current active slaves.
- make mode 4 immune to partner timings standard violation.
- fix possible buffer overflow in RX function if caller provide buffer
that is less than received packets (additional slow packets).
- change/fix promiscus mode and MAC management.
- fix compiling issues on gcc version less than 4.5
- bring API for tunig mode 4 parameters and expose mode 4 frames structure.
- prevent console flood with warning messages if mode 4 RX/TX buffers are full.
test-pmd:
- add mode 4 support (force periodic TX if no packets received during 100ms
period). Some forwardning modes (ex. rx only) does not allow mode 4 usage.
- 'port start X' - check if X is valid value
v2 changes:
New version handles race issues with setting/cancelin callbacks,
fixes promiscus mode setting in mode 4 and some other minor errors in mode 4
implementation.
changes not related to mode 4:
- fix memcpy() usage in bond_ethdev_tx_burst_balance() (OOM/undfined behaviour
if TX burst fail)
This patch set add support for dynamic link aggregation (mode 4) to the
librte_pmd_bond library. This mode provides auto negotiation/configuration
of peers and well as link status changes monitoring using out of band
LACP (link aggregation control protocol) messages. For further details of
LACP specification see the IEEE 802.3ad/802.1AX standards. It is also
described here
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt.
In this implementation we have an array of mode 4 settings for each slave.
There is also assumption that for every port is one aggregator (it might
be unused if better is found).
Difference in this implementation vs Linux implementation:
- this implementation it is not directly based on state machines but current
state is calculated from actor and partner states (and other things too).
Some implementation details:
- during rx burst every packet Is checked if this is LACP or marker packet.
If it is LACP frame it is passed to mode 4 logic using slaves rx ring and
removed from rx buffer before it is returned
- in tx burst, packets from mode 4 (if any) are injected into each slave.
- there is a timer running in background to process/produce mode 4
frames form rx/to tx functions.
Some requirements for this mode:
- for LACP mode to work rx and tx burst functions must be invoked
at least in 100ms intervals (testpmd modified to satisfy this requirement)
- provided buffer to rx burst should be at least 2x slave count size. This is
not needed but might increase performance especially during initial
handshake.
