[PATCH] net/i40e: fix Tx fn selection when using new ethdev offloads

[PATCH] net/i40e: fix Tx fn selection when using new ethdev offloads

[Bruce Richardson]

The Tx function selection code in the driver only used the older txq
flags values to check whether the scalar or vector functions should be
used. This caused performance regressions with testpmd io-fwd as the
scalar path rather than the vector one was being used in the default
case. Fix this by changing the code to take account of new offloads and
deleting the defines used for the old ones.

Fixes: 7497d3e2f777 ("net/i40e: convert to new Tx offloads API")

Seems incomplete.

So we probably need the same here plus multiseg.
BTW, it is really strange that we don't have multiseg in tx_offload_capa.
Should be present I think.
Might be worse to create a new define for it, or just use dev_info->tx_offload_capa directly.

Thanks, good point, I never thought to check the advertised capabilities. I
just translated what was being used by the old code txq_flags translation 
function. I'll clean this up and do a V2.

Thinking about this more, it seems that right now we don't need a masks at
all. Any bits set in the offloads is going to cause us to use the scalar
path or to error out with an invalid offload requested. Yes, it's not
future-proofed in that it will need to be changed if we do end up
supporting some offloads with the vector path in future, but then the same
problem would occur if we just re-use the advertised capabilities too, like
you suggest.

Therefore I think for V2 we'll just check for a non-zero offloads value.

[PATCH v2] net/i40e: fix Tx fn selection when using new ethdev offloads

[Bruce Richardson]

The Tx function selection code in the driver only used the older txq
flags values to check whether the scalar or vector functions should be
used. This caused performance regressions with testpmd io-fwd as the
scalar path rather than the vector one was being used in the default
case. Fix this by changing the code to take account of new offloads and
deleting the defines used for the old ones.

Fixes: 7497d3e2f777 ("net/i40e: convert to new Tx offloads API")

Actually after another thought - who setup txq->offloads?
I did a quick scan, through i40e code and seems no one does.
So now it seems not possible to enable TX offloads at all.
Konstantin

BTW, seems like rxq->offloads are not properly initialised too.

The offloads value should come from the app, no?
