2018-10-28Add support for counting non dataplane related packetsXavier Simonart8-5/+114
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 Change-Id: I98e113cd02f36d540383d343a433592867ad86a9 Signed-off-by: Xavier Simonart <xavier.simonart@intel.com>
2018-10-11test improvements and fixes for image creationLuc Provoost13-69/+150
Updated and corrected the creation of an image containing the PROX tool with packer. Test will now only be declared successful when average and maximum latency are below a certain threshold. The start speed is now also a parameter of the *.test files. Change-Id: I1112555c87e7a857e1c699921ae08f61281642e1 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2018-09-14Improve l3fwd performanceXavier Simonart1-9/+3
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>
2018-09-04Workaround DPDK net/virtio queue setup issuePatrice Buriez1-14/+14
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.

2018-07-07Fix potential crash with latency accuracyPatrice Buriez1-45/+73
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. Also moved variable declarations closer to usage, added some likely/unlikely hints, reworked some return statements, and fixed 32-bit overflow (every ~4s) of rx_time_err computation.

2018-06-17Adding centos.json to be used with packer to generate a VM with PROXLuc Provoost16-84/+328
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.

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.

2018-04-17Fix 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>

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.
