Hi,
We have a DPDK application that will make use of the "Intel flow director" feature of the XXV710 NIC family.
DPDK Version - 20.08
NIC: XXV710 series
I am planning to use the rte_flow API for this. I have gone through the flow_filtering example application for this purpose.
Previously, I saw on this forum that the following code snippet was in use for enabling the flow director feature -
----
struct rte_eth_conf port_conf = {
...
...
.fdir_conf = {
.mode = RTE_FDIR_MODE_PERFECT,
.pballoc = RTE_FDIR_PBALLOC_128K,
.status = RTE_FDIR_REPORT_STATUS,
.drop_queue = 127,
.mask = {
.ipv4_mask = {
.src_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF,
.dst_ip = 0xFFFFFFFF,
},
.ipv6_mask = {
.src_ip = {0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF},
.dst_ip = {0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFFFFFFFF},
},
.src_port_mask = 0xFFFF,
.dst_port_mask = 0xFFFF,
},
},
...
...
}
---
Questions:
* Is this initialization of the fdir_conf not required when we use the rte_flow API ?
* What do we need to do to initialize flow director feature with rte_flow API?
PS: It seems that the fdir_conf is going to get obsolete in the future DPDK releases.
Regards,
Venkatesh
