[v6,1/1] ethdev: introduce protocol header based buffer split
Checks
Commit Message
From: Wenxuan Wu <wenxuanx.wu@intel.com>
Currently, Rx buffer split supports length based split. With Rx queue
offload RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT enabled and Rx packet segment
configured, PMD will be able to split the received packets into
multiple segments.
However, length based buffer split is not suitable for NICs that do split
based on protocol headers. Given a arbitrarily variable length in Rx packet
segment, it is almost impossible to pass a fixed protocol header to PMD.
Besides, the existence of tunneling results in the composition of a packet
is various, which makes the situation even worse.
This patch extends current buffer split to support protocol header based
buffer split. A new proto_hdr field is introduced in the reserved field
of rte_eth_rxseg_split structure to specify protocol header. The proto_hdr
field defines the split position of packet, splitting will always happens
after the protocol header defined in the Rx packet segment. When Rx queue
offload RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_BUFFER_SPLIT is enabled and corresponding
protocol header is configured, PMD will split the ingress packets into
multiple segments.
struct rte_eth_rxseg_split {
struct rte_mempool *mp; /* memory pools to allocate segment from */
uint16_t length; /* segment maximal data length,
configures "split point" */
uint16_t offset; /* data offset from beginning
of mbuf data buffer */
uint32_t proto_hdr; /* inner/outer L2/L3/L4 protocol header,
configures "split point" */
};
Both inner and outer L2/L3/L4 level protocol header split can be supported.
Corresponding protocol header capability is RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER,
RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4, RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV6, RTE_PTYPE_L4_TCP, RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP,
RTE_PTYPE_L4_SCTP, RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L2_ETHER, RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV4,
RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV6, RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_TCP, RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_UDP,
RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L4_SCTP.
For example, let's suppose we configured the Rx queue with the
following segments:
seg0 - pool0, proto_hdr0=RTE_PTYPE_L3_IPV4, off0=2B
seg1 - pool1, proto_hdr1=RTE_PTYPE_L4_UDP, off1=128B
seg2 - pool2, off1=0B
The packet consists of MAC_IPV4_UDP_PAYLOAD will be split like
following:
seg0 - ipv4 header @ RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM + 2 in mbuf from pool0
seg1 - udp header @ 128 in mbuf from pool1
seg2 - payload @ 0 in mbuf from pool2
Now buffet split can be configured in two modes. For length based
buffer split, the mp, length, offset field in Rx packet segment should
be configured, while the proto_hdr field should not be configured.
For protocol header based buffer split, the mp, offset, proto_hdr field
in Rx packet segment should be configured, while the length field should
not be configured.
The split limitations imposed by underlying PMD is reported in the
rte_eth_dev_info->rx_seg_capa field. The memory attributes for the split
parts may differ either, dpdk memory and external memory, respectively.
