[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v13] ethdev: new Rx/Tx offloads API

Wei Dai wei.dai at intel.com
Mon May 14 14:00:35 CEST 2018


This patch check if a input requested offloading is valid or not.
Any reuqested offloading must be supported in the device capabilities.
Any offloading is disabled by default if it is not set in the parameter
dev_conf->[rt]xmode.offloads to rte_eth_dev_configure() and
[rt]x_conf->offloads to rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
If any offloading is enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure() by application,
it is enabled on all queues no matter whether it is per-queue or
per-port type and no matter whether it is set or cleared in
[rt]x_conf->offloads to rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
If a per-queue offloading hasn't be enabled in rte_eth_dev_configure(),
it can be enabled or disabled for individual queue in
ret_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup().
A new added offloading is the one which hasn't been enabled in
rte_eth_dev_configure() and is reuqested to be enabled in
rte_eth_[rt]x_queue_setup(), it must be per-queue type,
otherwise trigger an error log.
The underlying PMD must be aware that the requested offloadings
to PMD specific queue_setup() function only carries those
new added offloadings of per-queue type.

This patch can make above such checking in a common way in rte_ethdev
layer to avoid same checking in underlying PMD.

This patch assumes that all PMDs in 18.05-rc2 have already
converted to offload API defined in 17.11 . It also assumes
that all PMDs can return correct offloading capabilities
in rte_eth_dev_infos_get().

In the beginning of [rt]x_queue_setup() of underlying PMD,
add offloads = [rt]xconf->offloads |
dev->data->dev_conf.[rt]xmode.offloads; to keep same as offload API
defined in 17.11 to avoid upper application broken due to offload
API change.
PMD can use the info that input [rt]xconf->offloads only carry
the new added per-queue offloads to do some optimization or some
code change on base of this patch.

v13:
only rework on v12 according to feedback.
This version is based on commit dc33238da4be
("app/testpmd: check if CRC strip offload supported") in
the repo dpdk-next-net.

v12:
fix coding style warning

v11:
This patch set is based on 18.05-rc2 .
document update according to feedback
revise rte_ethdev.h for doxygen

v10:
sorry, miss the code change, fix the buidling error

v9:
replace RTE_PMD_DEBUG_TRACE with ethdev_log(ERR, in ethdev
to avoid failure of application which hasn't been completely
converted to new offload API.

v8:
Revise PMD codes to comply with offload API in v7
update document

v7:
Give the maximum freedom for upper application,
only minimal checking is performed in ethdev layer.
Only requested specific pure per-queue offloadings are input
to underlying PMD.

v6:
No need enable an offload in queue_setup( ) if it has already
been enabled in dev_configure( )

v5:
keep offload settings sent to PMD same as those from application

v4:
fix a wrong description in git log message.

v3:
rework according to dicision of offloading API in community

v2:
add offloads checking in rte_eth_dev_configure( ).
check if a requested offloading is supported.
