* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Improve l3fwd performance JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-128 Improve performance of l3fwd use-case. L3fwd did not disable TX offload flags, which resulted in non-vector mode to be used in pmd in some cases like bare-metal. Note that in some cases such as virtio, vector mode was already used as OVS reports that it does not support TX-offload, hence TX-offload was already disabled on virtio. Using vector mode usually brings higher performance. Change-Id: I102b846d604a9cf28c6b7dae8bedbe918ccfcf6c Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Workaround DPDK net/virtio queue setup issue JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-127 PROX was crashing in the VM with vector mode enabled and multiple OVS queues. This was not really a PROX bug, but a DPDK issue, which has been fixed by DPDK commit https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk/commit/?id=efc83a1e7fc3 This "net/virtio: fix queue setup consistency" is included in DPDK 17.11 and subsequent versions, and has been backported into: - DPDK 16.11.4: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=16.11&id=516447a5056c - DPDK 17.08.1: https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=17.08&id=907fe4fc263e This means the fix is not included into any DPDK 17.02.x used by NSB. Fortunately, a simple workaround consists of calling rte_eth_tx_queue_setup() before rte_eth_rx_queue_setup(). This change implements this simple workaround, in order to make PROX work, even with unfixed DPDK versions.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Fix potential crash with latency accuracy Detect, remember and skip bad/unexpected packets: - too short to hold the latency-related values - with bad signature - with invalid generator_id using a uint64_t-based bitmap.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Adding centos.json to be used with packer to generate a VM with PROX Based on a CentOS cloud image downloadable from the web, you can now use packer to create an image that has DPDK and PROX installed in the proper directories. The VM is also tuned for guest VNFs. A service is also created to deal with the proper isolated_cpu settings for tuned. The service will also make sure uio and igb_uio are loaded. The prox_user_data.sh is not needed any more and hence deleted. ctrl-c of runrapid.py will now also stop prox in all the VMs so a new test can be started.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanup mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e. using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets. However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too small to hold a 1518 bytes packets. Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used. Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo frames are enabled. If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Add support for reception of jumbo frames" - Add support for reception of jumbo frames Jumbo frames are now supported through the addition of a "mtu" parameter of the port in the config file. Setting the mtu to a value higher than 1500 bytes will enable the reception of jumbo frames. In addition, the rte_eth_dev_set_mtu is now set for all pmds. Finally, setting mbuf_size does not set MEMPOOL_F_NO_SPREAD anymore. This option was only used for pure debugging. Big packets can be received using two ways - Using multiple "small" mbufs, i.e. around 2K. This is the default. - Using one big mbuf holding the whole packet. This can be enabled by setting a parameter mbuf_size in the receiving core configuration Change-Id: Idd60ad31f41c89f9522dff4d894af2696b7a2ea1 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Add support for comments in configuration variables" - Add support for comments in configuration variables This feature will enable the possibility to have many cores configured in a prox config file, and enable/disable them through variables. For instance, a [core $var1] section in a config file will result in [core 1] if $var1 = 1; the whole section and section content will be ignored if $var1=# Before this implementation, [#core 1] or [core #] was already treated as a commented out section (the whole section was commented). But there was no way to define a variable $var = # to comment a section through a variable. Note that in today's implementation any non numerical (except s, h, t, -) characteter in the [core] section header (and not only #) will cause the section to be ignored. It would probably be better to consider # (as maybe N/A and none) as comments, and everything else as error. This is however not supported by the change request.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Zero packet loss testing has been added. Using l2 testing, where no ARP messages are being used, you can now run a zero packet loss test. The binary search will continue to find the speed where absolutely no packets have been lost during the test. On top of that, the output has been reformatted to also show the absolute and relative packet loss. The *.test files have now 2 new parameters: drop_rate_treshold and accuracy. When drop_rate_treshold is set to 0, this test will conclude successfull when no packet has been lost whatsoever. If this is set to any other number, the test will be successfull when the relative packet loss is lower than drop_rate_treshold. The new accuray parameter defines when the binary search will stop: when the relative difference between the min and max of the search window is lower than accuracy. The irq testing is slightly modified to print the total number of interrupts in a certain time bucket, not only as the number per second, but when there is no interrupt whatsowever, we print '0' in stead of '0.0' Change-Id: I8fafded0a225cbe1ba7ac61cd28e94d72099e4a0 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Integrate irq mode into PROX (support display and command line)" - Integrate irq mode into PROX (support display and command line) irq mode can be used to show how a core is interrupted by other tasks. This mode does not handle packets. It only loops reading tsc. When the difference between two consecutive calls to rdtsc() is high then it means the core was interrupted. This task implementes the display, so that we can see a histogram of interrupts as well as the maximum, per core. Command line is also supported, through "show irq buckets" (too show the intervals of each buckets, in micrcoseconds), and the stats command line (showing the number of items in each buckets and the max)..

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Fix extrapolation used in latency measurements When doing latency measurements PROX takes into account the generation or reception of a bulk of packets. For instance, if PROX receives at time T 4 packets, it knows that the first packet was received by te NIC before T (the time to receive the other 3 packets, as they were received at maximum link speed). So the latency data is decreased by the minimum time to receive those 3 packets. For this PROX was using a default link speed of 10Gbps. This is wrong for 1Gbps and 40Gbps networks, and was causing for instance issues on 40 Gbps networks as extrapolating too much, resulting in either too low latencies or negative numbers (visible as very high latencies).

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Add config option to use port mac as src mac in l2fwd and swap" - Add config option to use port mac as src mac in l2fwd and swap L2fwd and swap has many options to set src mac. swap was supposed to support the ability to use port mac, but config file parsing was wrong. L2fwd was using port mac if a port was available and if src mac=packet or if there was no src mac in the config. Now l2fwd supports the following options - "src mac=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" => this mac address is used as src mac. - "src mac=packet" => the src mac is taken from the dst mac of the received packet. - "src mac=hw" => the src mac is taken from the mac address of the port, if there is a physical port. Error otherwise. - "src mac=no" => src mac kept untouched - No "src mac" => same as "src mac=hw" if there is a physical port and same as "src mac=packet" otherwise. Default is (no "src mac") hence the mac is taken from the tx port if there is one tx port and from the packet otherwise. swap support is similar, except that it does not support "src mac=no".

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Fix using signature in latency measurements" - Fix using signature in latency measurements When doing latency measurements the generator can add a 32 bits signature in the packet at a specific location, so that the receiver only uses the packets generated by the generator and ignores packets generated for instance by a switch The is particuly important for latency measurements as we use data in the packets as timestamps, and packets generated elsewhere would result in random latency for those packets.

* Update docs/submodules/samplevnf from branch 'master' - Merge "Fix stacking of rx receive functions" - Fix stacking of rx receive functions PROX can stack different RX functions, so that they are executed after each other. This feature is for instance used to dump packets or to print distribution of receive packets, without influencing the performance of the rx functions when no dump or print is needed. The previous implementation was wrong and causing some of the stacked functions not to be executed. This was causing for instance issues in latency measurement after enabling dumping packets.
