[dpdk-dev] Issue with net/netvsc pmd in 18.11.9

Hi Long,

I did take this patch on top of 18.11.10rc1 , but with this patch and also with 18.11.10rc1 files, the rx itself is not working and dhcp fails. With 18.11.9 the rx is working fine and changes present in 18.11.10rc1(hn_rxtx.c  ) does not look to work. 18.11.6 was all proper but 18.11.9 is not helping. I am not using testpmd but using our own dpdk app on Azure.
We are using the below command line args:
-c 0xe -n 3 -w 83f0:00:02.0 -w 8cb0:00:02.0 --vdev=net_vdev_netvsc0,iface=mlxhvpkt0 --vdev=net_vdev_netvsc1,iface=mlxhvpkt1 --log-level pmd.netvsc:debug --proc-type=primary

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Hi Souvik,

Please also pick up this patch:
https://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/75341/<https://patchwork.dpdk.org/patch/75341>

This patch didn’t make it to 18.11.

Let me know if you are still seeing failures. If you can reproduce the failure with testpmd or other tools in DPDK, please also share the command you used.

Thanks,
Long

Yes the patch solves the seg fault issue, but even after backporting the patch we are not able to send packets with size higher than 512. The packets not being transmitted is the real problem here. I have also tried to take the 18.11.10rc1 build but faced similar issues in transmitting the packets.

Hi,

The patch mentioned is merged to the 18.11 branch in dpdk-stable repo
and part of 18.11.10-rc1, so expected to be in 18.11.10. ETA 28th September.

In case it's already fixed, you can try the 18.11.10-rc1 release. These
netvsc backports were added since 18.11.9. The corresponding dpdk main
commit id's are in the full log.

$ git log --oneline v18.11.9..HEAD .
363bdf0f49 net/netvsc: fix chimney index
5b3a327709 net/netvsc: fix crash during Tx
77cf88c0c6 net/netvsc: fix underflow when Rx external mbuf
59257aaaa1 net/netvsc: do not spin forever waiting for reply

The list of fixes that were tagged for stable but not backported is
here:
http://inbox.dpdk.org/stable/20200901100115.72365-1-ktraynor@redhat.com/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Finbox.dpdk.org%2Fstable%2F20200901100115.72365-1-ktraynor%40redhat.com&data=02%7C01%7Clongli%40microsoft.com%7C1f1640e423394eb94f6e08d85a4ee081%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C1%7C0%7C637358642130132583&sdata=BkEMWpgwjXSKZaZTTr3XN1fGWzuwv3%2BEQQOxyzy0SEc%3D&reserved=0>

are all good but any larger packets/fragmented packets are getting
dropped after some time. As soon as we start to receive the transmit
completion event NVS_TYPE_RNDIS_ACK as failed, packets with size greater
than HN_TXCOPY_THRESHOLD starts to drop and never recovers. Packets less
than HN_TXCOPY_THRESHOLD works properly there after though. Any idea why
this is happening and is there is some fix which is already there which
is done after 18.11.9 release ?

Maybe you can bisect the 18.11 branch to find where it stops working,
there is only ~10 netvsc commits between 18.11.6 and 18.11.9. The
release notes [1] or git history will tell you which commits are in
which releases. Bear in mind that some commits were rebased for 18.11,
so if you find the offending commit, you might want to check that it was
correctly backported too.

Kevin.
