[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 1/3] port: add kni interface support

Sat Jun 18 18:44:52 CEST 2016


Hi Ethan,

Thank you, here are some comments inlined below.

Please reorganize this patch in a slightly different way to look similar to other DPDK patch sets and also ease up the integration work for Thomas:
	Patch 0: I suggest adding a cover letter;
	Patch 1: all librte_port changes (rte_port_kni.h, rte_port_kni.c, Makefile, rte_port_version.map), including the "nodrop" KNI port version
	Patch 2: all ip_pipeline app changes
	Patch 3: ip_pipeline app kni.cfg file
	Patch 4: Documentation changes

I suggest you place this function just after the check_tms() function, in order to keep consistency with our conventions.

In order to keep up with our existing code conventions, please move the KNI code (functions kni_change_mtu(), kni_config_network_interface(), app_init_kni()) just after function app_init_tm().

Here is a critical issue that we found out recently during testing the KNI code: the correct PMD API functions to use here are rte_eth_dev_set_link_up/down(); stopping and restarting the device while the device is running can lead to segfault and nondeterministic behaviour.

Here is my proposal:

static int
kni_config_network_interface(uint8_t port_id, uint8_t if_up) {
	int ret = 0;

	if (port_id >= rte_eth_dev_count())
		return -EINVAL;

	ret = (if_up)?
		rte_eth_dev_set_link_up(port_id) :
		rte_eth_dev_set_link_down(port_id);

	return ret;
}

I tested this function successfully.

> +	if (ret < 0)
> +		return ret;
> +
> +	return 0;
> +}

Same issue about using the rte_eth_dev_start/stop() functions. Based on function port_mtu_set() of the app/test-pmd application, it looks like rte_eth_dev_set_mtu() function could be called directly with no start/stop or up/down preparations.

Here is my version, although I did not fully test this one:

static int
kni_change_mtu(uint8_t port_id, unsigned new_mtu) {
	int ret;

	if (port_id >= rte_eth_dev_count())
		return -EINVAL;

	if (new_mtu > ETHER_MAX_LEN)
		return -EINVAL;

	/* Set new MTU */
	ret = rte_eth_dev_set_mtu(port_id, new_mtu);
	if (ret < 0)
		return ret;

	return 0;
}

I would like to avoid #ifdefs in the middle of the function code as much as possible. I suggest we do the following:

#ifndef RTE_LIBRTE_KNI

static void
app_init_kni(struct app_params *app)
{
	if (app->n_pktq_kni == 0)
		return;

	rte_panic("Cannot init KNI without librte_kni support.\n");
}

#else

static void
app_init_kni(struct app_params *app)
{
	//the real function code
}

#endif

> +	rte_kni_init(app->n_pktq_kni);
> +
> +	for (uint32_t i = 0; i < app->n_pktq_kni; i++) {

Please declare the "i" variable at the start of the function, as usual. Although I personally like this idea, this pattern is not used anywhere in DPDK and it might trigger warnings/errors from some C compilers. Btw, any idea whether this is mentioned in any way by the ANSI C/C99 standards?
