- vdev devices now support VLAN.
- kernel tap device can be configured with a netmask (/24 was
always used in previous version).
- when sending a (fake) packet to the kernel, this packet will now
not be routed by the kernel (i.e. it will leave through the
interface configured by PROX). This might change in the futture
when PROX supports multiple VLANs per port. But today it prevents
ARP being sent on management interfaces.
- Log error in case kernel unable to send packet.
- Added support for comments (';') in lua sections.
- Prevent duplication of local_ipv4 - should now be configured in port section
local_ipv4 in core section still supported

Following messages are now handled by PROX
- router_solicitation
- neighbour_solicitation
- router_advertisement
- neighbour_advertisement
The following parameters are supported (through the PROX config file)
- sub mode=ndp
This will enable handling of router and neighbour solicitation
and advertisement.
- local ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the local IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the local IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI.
- global ipv6=xxxx:xxxx:xxxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
This will configure the global IPv6 address of the port.
This parameter is optional. If not specified, the global IPv6
will be calculated from the EUI and the router prefix received
from the router.
- ipv6 router=yes
This will cause the core to behave as an IPv6 router
i.e. it will generate Router Advertisement messages
This is only useful in back to back cases, when no real
IPv6 router is present in the setup.
- router prefix=xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx
The router prefix usedin the router advertisement
The prefix will be used by the node to build an IPv6 global
address in cases none were configured.
"Unsollicited NA" parameter has been added within the core/task section.
If set to yes (Unsollicited NA=yes), then an unsollicited neighbour
Advertisement is sent at startup
A same core/task cannot support both l3 and ndp mode.
Those messages will be generated or handled when submode
is set to "ndp":
- neighbour sollicitation
- neighbour advertisement
- router sollicitation
- router advertisement
An example configuration is provided: config/ipv6.cfg in which
port 0 / core 1 plays the role of the generator and port 1 /
core 2 plays the role of the swap.

In addition to a mmbuf leak when receiving netlink routes packets
this commit prevents sending the PROX pseudo packet i.e.
the packet PROX sends to the kernel socket to have it generate
an ARP request.

Two cases where performance has been improved
- When using a gateway from a routing table (l3 submode),
store the mac within the next hop table, to avoid a hash_lookup.
This gives ~10% improvement.
- Read tsc only once per bulk (of up to 64 packets).
This gives ~10% improvement to swap, 4% to gen.
In addition a small fix has been added, preventig "No route" Error
to be written too aften.

Through this commit BGP messages are forwarded to tap device
Netlink messages are enabled to receive route Updates.
In addition, generating tasks can also specify a routing table
which will be used when sending packets
The routes initialized by the routing table can be changed through
the reception of BGP messages

The crlplane performance has been improved. This is necessary when
handling many IP in L3 mode (i.e. many ARP Requests/Replies).
Before this change, arp timer was updated as soon as an
arp request was tentativaly sent to the master. This means that,
if the request failed to be sent (e.g. ring full) we had to wait
arp_update_time (default 1sec) before trying again.
Now arp_update_time is only used when an arp reply is received.
If a request has been successfully sent, then the arp timer
is updated by 1 second (i.e. we will not send any arp reuest for this
IP within this second)
If we failed to send the request, then the timer is updated by 100 msec
which means we will wait 100 msec before trying again.
A too high value here would have meant that we have to wait a long time
before trying again. A too short value overload the master ring with
request to transmit ARP requests, so that master is unable to handle
arp replies.
arp_update_time is now also partly randomized to avoid all IPs to request
arp request at the beginning of the test. So if arp_update_time is 10 sec
then the configuration sets it to 5 to 15 sec.
As a final note the following parameter (already implemented before)
can be changed to improve ctrlplane performance (at the cost of dataplane)
ctrl path polling frequency=10000

Through this commit ARP and ICMP messages are forwarded to the kernel
when vdev tap devices are enabled, as well as PROX l3 mode.
ICMP support has also been added to master (i.e. PROX L3 mode) and to
swap (so when L3 submode is not enabled).

This commit adds support for the creation of tap devices.
To create a tap device, and associate it with a DPDK port,
add within the port section:
vdev=<tap_name>
local ipv4=<ip_assigned_to_port>
<tap_name> will appear as a kernel network device, with an IP <ip_assigned_to_port>
ARP packets received from the network on the DPDK interface will be forwarded to the kernel.
1st packet which needs to be generated to a new IP will cause an IP packet
to be sent to the kernel (using socket sendto) forcing the kernel to send an ARP_REQUEST.
In this commit, there is no notification from the kernel about ARP table changes.
This is subject to further commits.
Two config files, gen_tap.cfg and swap_tap.cfg have been created. They work one against each other.
*** Note however that they do not work if running within the same host
(with the port being connected back to back) ***
This is due to the fact that the kernel would bypass the ports and use local interface...

This commit prepares PROX for supporting changes from DPDK 19.08
Mainly, the "sed" listed below were run.
In addition,
- some forward definition have been removed,
- prox_compat.h has been updated
- prox_compat.h has been included where necessary.
Hence such a commit is rather easy to review and to reapply
on other branches if necessary.

* changes:
Prevent dropping ARP packets
Do not add count of non dataplane packets to dropped count
|
|
In L3 submodes, there were two memory leaks
- when a L3 core was restarted, causing around 2MB leak and a
potential issue after 256 start/stop
- a potential mbuf leak when handling arp replies
Those have been fixed

L3 mode supports two timers:
- arp_update_time, defaulted to 1 second, which makes PROX to send
arp request every second for active flows
- arp_timeout, previously defaulted to 30 seconds, which makes PROX
consider a MAC address as invalid if no arp_reply was received
within those 30 seconds.
Those timers values were hardcoded. They can now be configured through
the configuration file (within the core section), using resp.
"arp update time" and "arp timeout" keywords. Unit is milli seconds.
The default becomes respectively 1 second and 2 weeks.

JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-152
When system is overloaded, ARP packets were sometimes dropped, as any
other packets.
This was causing two issues:
- The count of TX non dataplane packets was wrong
- If many consecutive ARP packets were dropped, the underlying switch might
see its ARP timer expiring, causing performance degradation (packets being
broadcasted).
ARP packets are now always sent as no-drop.

In L3 mode, prox is extracting IP destination address in the packets.
It uses this destination address to find the MAC address.
If the MAC address is not found, it sends a ARP request.
It also sends ARP request when it realizes that some timeout expired.
However, PROX was using the mbuf of the existing packets (to be forwarded)
to send the ARP. This resulted in packet loss.
Now PROX is generating ARP requests using mbuf from an ARP mempool.
Some clean up was also done.

When performing some zero packet loss performance testing on dataplane, it
is important (not) to count non dataplane packets. For instance, one might
receive uexpected packets from a switch, or ARP packets. Or one might need
to transmit ARP packets. Such packets should not be counted as dataplane
packets as for thse packets there is no 1:1 mapping between transmitted
packets and received packets.
To support this, the counters reporting numbers of transmitted and received
packets remain unchanged but two new counters have been added to PROX,
counting respectively number of received and number of transmitted
non-dataplane packets.
On RX side, packets are counsidered as non-dataplane if being ARP or if
they do not countain the proper signature
On TX side, ARP packets are not considered as dataplane packets.
This feature requires configuration of signature.
"dp core stats" command has been added
