2019-10-08Support for recent GCC compilerXavier Simonart1-7/+7
This is required for instance on gcc (GCC) 8.2.1 20180905 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com> Change-Id: Id86de5d39d77c5cbf168cc51434f436f84376a4c
2019-09-04Add heartbeat support (stop all cores in case of TCP socket issues)Xavier Simonart1-0/+3
"heartbeat timeout" (in second) can be specified as a global parameter in PROX config file. If set, a timer is started when the first command is received from the TCP socket. This timer is reset at each commands received through the TCP socket. If the timer expires, then - all cores are stopped - the TCP socket is closed, causing an error at client side. This feature helps in case a script starts PROX and the traffic generated through PROX causes issues to the control plane.

2019-08-28Add warning in case of wrong configuration (missing l3 submode)Xavier Simonart1-0/+2
Add warning if gateway_ip is configured and l3 is not configured. If l3 sub mode is not configured, then gateway_ip parameter is ignored (an error is not returned to make it easy to switch from an l3 sub mode to default submode).

2019-01-28Add support for configurable arp timers in L3 modeXavier Simonart1-0/+4
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. Change-Id: I35e46e97df32ca44c2cdfae85a20ee015de5d6e1 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2018-12-05Add support for VLAN insert and strippingXavier Simonart1-0/+17
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-149 VLAN can be enabled on a port by adding "vlan=yes" in the port section. When VLAN is enabled on a port, then DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP and DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_INSERT are enabled (if device supports it). This will cause VLAN to be stripped from any packets received with the proper tag, and VLAN to be added for any packets being transmitted. The VLAN ID themselves are configured through the physical function using something like (where ens801f1 isthe PF): ip link set ens801f1 vf 0 vlan 1111 Change-Id: I945c87b0c18565da479ecaa08e5ffce91232a7ce Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>

2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart1-3/+5
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.

2018-04-26Support reading inline jumbo frame and dump themXavier Simonart1-1/+2
Add support for pkt_inline of jumbo frames. Dump the whole packet, and not a truncated packet. This might have a small impact on performance as the memory footprint is increased (by ~640K * number of tasks), resulting in potential higher DTLB misses.

2018-04-15Add support for reception of jumbo framesXavier Simonart1-0/+14
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>
2018-01-16Integrate irq mode into PROX (support display and command line)Xavier Simonart1-0/+5
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)..

2018-01-04Add config option to use port mac as src mac in l2fwd and swapXavier Simonart1-1/+1
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".

2017-11-15Add support for nop mode with l3 submodeXavier Simonart1-2/+4
The l3 submode was not supported in nop mode, as the nop mode uses some specific nop thread (and not generic). When L3 is specified, the nop mode must use the generic thread. In addition the l3 submode is implemented differently than other submodes. It is not supported through task_init structures (i.e. each task does not have to explicitely tell that it supports l3 submode). But this prevented to run both a nop with no submode and a nop with a l3 submode. Note that nop with l3 is usually not very useful - it handles arp (requests and response) but as nop, it does not swap IP addresses. So with a real switch, the packets transmitted will be received back... and l3 mode is usually mainly usefull when using a switch. However, there is at least one nop mode where l3 submode makes sense: when the nop does not transmit. In such cases, for instace used in conjunction with a gen l3, the nop receives all packets and forward the arp requests and responses to the master for handling.
