2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart18-98/+126
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.

2018-04-26Fix crc offloads.Xavier Simonart2-8/+8
When configuring a port, prox configures queue flags. For historitical reasons, offloads had to be disabled on some pmds. There is now an API to query the ports and gets their capabilities. This fix sets now the flags based on the capabilities, and not the driver name. Change-Id: Ic72d15001992f26910f653c70d31e4381fff8089 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2018-04-26Support reading inline jumbo frame and dump themXavier Simonart6-8/+11
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.

2018-04-23Add support for multiple variables in core definitionXavier Simonart1-3/+4
In the [core] definition we were able to use one variable such as $core1 in [core $core1] but not [core ${core1}]. The second syntax is used when we want multiple variables such as in [core ${first_core}-${last_core}]. This second syntax is now supported.

2018-04-17Fix link speed when link is down at startup.Xavier Simonart2-8/+40
When link is down at startup, the link_speed returned by DPDK is 0. This results in un-optimized latency estimates in gen and lat. With this fix, lat and gen do nothing until link_speed is properly initialized, and use the right link speed in the fast path.

2018-04-15Add support for reception of jumbo framesXavier Simonart3-39/+81
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>

2018-03-05Fix minimum latencyXavier Simonart1-5/+11
Revert back part of commit 9fa316261d7d9 The function abs_diff was erroneously changed to diff_or_zero. This function was supposed to measure the difference between rx and tx time; when rx time overflowed and tx time not yet (i.e. rx time ~= 0 and tx_time ~=UINT32_MAX, this function added UINT32_MAX to rx_time. The name of the function was confusing and caused the previous commit. Net effect of previous commit was that every four seconds the minimum latency was 0 This commit reverse back to the original behavior, with a function name diff_time.

2018-02-27Fix potential crash if link speed is nullXavier Simonart2-2/+2
Link_speed could be null when prox started with the ports down. This was potentially causing a crash. Another task will need to update link speed when the port come up.

2018-02-21Fixed the calculation of dropped packets and other changesLuc Provoost11-93/+142
* Calculation of aboslute and relative dropped packets was wrong and is now fixed. * ./createrapid.py has now an extra option to select custom availability zones for the different VMs. * Fixed a typo to create the flavor: hw:cpu_thread_policy * The generator config files have now the packet id & signature fields. See PROX for more details on this. * ./runrapid has now a new option --configonly. Default is False. If set to True, all configuration files will be copied to the VMS, but the tests are not started. This allows you to go to the VMs and manually start PROX. * In addition to the average latency, maximum latency is now also displayed.

2018-02-15Add support for comments in configuration variablesXavier Simonart3-9/+15
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.

2018-02-12Zero packet loss testing has been added.Luc Provoost12-72/+277
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>

2018-01-24Fix extrapolation used in latency measurementsXavier Simonart3-11/+48
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).

2018-01-16Integrate irq mode into PROX (support display and command line)Xavier Simonart15-61/+556
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)..
