[dpdk-dev] rte_flow ageing

[Matan Azrad]

Yes, you right for the meaning of MLX5_AGE_TRIGGER.

But why you said it is erased when the callback return?

It is erased when a new aged-out flow is detected by the driver….

Do you have an issue with option 1?

Hi Matan,



below are my comments.



Thank you.

Sure, but it won't trigger the event callback as it would for the next aged-out flow(s) if called from outside the callback.


Yes, MLX5_AGE_TRIGGER probably means that event was sent and no need to send it again in the next aged-out flow.
I don't think so. MLX5_AGE_TRIGGER means 'Do call the callback for next aged-out flow(s)'.

Erasing it cause new event to be sent in the next aged-out flow...
No, I think it's the reverse.


I don't understand what is the issue for you in option 1...

Hi Matan, and thanks a lot,
regarding the mode 1, I still have a doubt:

  1.  Register the AGE event -> in event time to query the aged-out flows by the rte_flow_get_aged_flows API, this call will trigger a new event when new aged-out flow will be detected for the port.(if you don’t call rte_flow_get_aged_flows the event will not be retriggered.)

You meant calling rte_flow_get_aged_flows() from the event callback I guess...?

I think this is not working because MLX5_AGE_TRIGGER is erased when the callback returns.



Anyway, the polling mode is enough to me so far.

Thanks again.



Regards.
