[PATCH] i40e: configure MTU

[PATCH] i40e: configure MTU

[Beilei Xing]

This patch enables configuring MTU for i40e.
Since changing MTU needs to reconfigure queue, stop port first
before configuring MTU.

The dev_info.max_rx_pktlen queried by i40e_dev_info_get is 
"I40E_FRAME_SIZE_MAX".
No need to call the API to get dev info in driver.

According to rte_ethdev.h, only 4 return codes are supported for
rte_eth_dev_set_mtu:

* - (0) if successful.
* - (-ENOTSUP) if operation is not supported.
* - (-ENODEV) if *port_id* invalid.
* - (-EINVAL) if *mtu* invalid.

EBUSY should not be returned.

Why do want to reconfigure rxq here ? All these operations are already
done when you call i40e_dev_rx_init.
i40e_dev_rx_init => i40e_rx_queue_init (for each queue) =>
i40e_rx_queue_config => redefine rxq->max_pkt_len

Moreover, you should move dev_data->dev_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len out
of the loop. frame_size is the same for all rx_queues.

Hi Meunier,
Thanks for your comments, it shouldn't be EBUSY here.

Yes, you're right, needn't reconfigure rxq->max_pkt_len here, I just need reconfigure dev_data->dev_conf.rxmode.max_rx_pkt_len cause i40e_dev_rx_init will cover all. 
Thanks very much.

I'm not convinced that ENOTSUP is the proper return value here.
It is usually returned when a function is not implemented, which
is not the case here: the function is implemented but is forbidden
because the port is running.

I saw that Julien commented on your v1 that the return value should
be one of:
 - (0) if successful.
 - (-ENOTSUP) if operation is not supported.
 - (-ENODEV) if *port_id* invalid.
 - (-EINVAL) if *mtu* invalid.

But I think your initial value (-EBUSY) was fine. Maybe it should be
added in the API instead, with the following description:
  (-EBUSY) if the operation is not allowed when the port is running

This would allow the application to take its dispositions to stop the
port and restart it with the proper jumbo_frame argument.

+CC Thomas which maintains ethdev API.

AFAICT, the same check is not done for other drivers that implement
the mac_set op. Wouldn’t it make more sense to have the driver disable
the port, reconfigure and re-enable it in this case, instead of returning
error code?  If the consensus in DPDK is to have the application disable
the port first, we need to enforce this policy across all devices and
clearly document this behavior.

Correction: this should read as mtu_set.

Other PMDs do allow to change mtu without stopping/reconfiguration the port
(under certain conditions of course).
As I remember that's why that function was introduced at the first place.
It is a bit strange that i40e doesn't allow that, might be the author can
comment why it is necessary.
Again the whole i40e_dev_mtu_set() looks a bit strange to me -
I can't see where the actual change of HW state is happening.

Hi,
For ixgbe/igb, there's register for MTU during runtime, but for i40e, setting MTU is finished by firmware during configuration. There'll be some risk when disable the port, reconfigure and re-enable the port, so return error code in this case currently.
Thanks for your comments, we'll improve the document later.

Ok, but then what is the point to introduce mtu_set() for i40e at all?
Let's just leave it unimplemented, as it is right now.
Then users would know that for that device they have to do dev_stop/dev_configure().

Hi Konstantin,
The original intention is to reduce ops gap in different PMDs, but unfortunately, setting MTU in i40e couldn’t be finished as in ixgbe, so in the function, we change the configuration and note users that if want to configure MTU, stop ports first. The sequence of configuring MTU for i40e is: port stop->set MTU->port start.
We will add according instruction in document.

Yes, I understand that from your previous explanation.

Well, you can do that now with dev_stop(); dev_configure(), right?
As I remember, the original intention of mtu_set() was to give user an ability
to change mtu (whenever possible) without stopping the port.
If the HW (i40e) doesn't support it - that's fine, we just leave mtu_set() for i40e unimplemented.

Sorry, but I don’t agree here.
I think, in that case it is better just to leave mtu_set() unimplemented for i40e.

Yes, that's right.

OK, I'll discuss with maintainer for this case.
Thanks for all your points:)

It has been brought to my attention that there were still outstanding comments
and issues with v3 of the patch that were never resolved, therefore this patch
may need to be reverted, as I should not have applied it 

Maintainers, please do not ack patches for your components if there are still
unresolved discussion on them! Once the component maintainer acks a patch I
should not have to go back through the whole patch history to determine if it
can be applied or not.

Sorry for inconvenience. But here's one correction, this v4 patch is acked and applied on May 23, but v3 comments are added June 17, I think Jingjing always is a responsible maintainer :)

You are indeed quite right. My apologies to Jingjing, I didn't notice the dates
on the emails, and she was fully within her rights to ack the patch as she did.
Thanks for pointing this out Beilei.

My bad, and apologies again.
