[PATCH 0/3] distributor_app: new sample application for distributor library

[reshmapa]

From: Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

*An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.

*The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
port id.

*The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
those packets into an rte_ring structure.

*A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker

[PATCH 1/3] distributor_app: new sample app

[reshmapa]

From: Bruce Richardson <bruce.richardson-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker

The app takes no command-line parameters other than those passed to the
EAL. The cores to be used are specified via the EAL coremask and the
ports to be used can be specified using the EAL whitelisting and
blacklisting support.

Since this is just a sample app and the second two patches are just minor 
adjustments to it, I suggest that this be resubmitted as a single patch 
instead of a set. That should also fix the whitespace warnings one gets when 
using "git am" to apply the set.

Please also check the indentation used in the file. I see in a number of 
places that spaces are used instead of tabs for indentation. Running 
checkpatch.pl on the patch before submission should help catch these issues.

Regards,
/Bruce

[PATCH v2] distributor_app: new sample app

[reshmapa]

From: Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
* Command-line option support provided only for portmask.

> * The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port

I would remove this printf. If core is too busy to process packets, this may make performance worse.
Statistics should reflect this packet loss.

Same here. This is fine for debugging, but statistics are updated as well, so we do not need this printf.

By default  LOG_LEVEL is 8 in config/common_linuxapp, hence I see RTE_LOG(DEBUG,...) always works. 
So until unless change the LOG-LEVEL to lesser value, RTE_LOG(DEBUG,..) will be logged ..
Please let me know if I can go ahead and remove the printf as of now until the LOG_LEVEL is fixed. (or) I have to add some logic to log RTE_LOG(DEBUG,..)  only once.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough.
What I am saying -  create something like that inside your app code:

#ifdef XXX_DEBUG
#define XXX_LOG(level, fmt, args...) \
        RTE_LOG(level, PMD, "%s(): " fmt "\n", __func__, ## args)
#else
#define XXX_LOG(level, fmt, args...) do { } while(0)
#endif

And replace your pritnf()s with it.

I think we should make some changes in some logs in DPDK, and change the default log level to be INFO or less, so we could use the DEBUG level for things like this, but anyway, that would be another patch that I am thinking to submit some other day.
Anyway, for this one, this option could work, but still that message may be shown hundreds of thousands of times per second, considering that CPU is overloaded. So, should we include something like a flag here, so message is shown just once?
I know that this will only be used when DEBUG is enabled, but still that could flood the screen, as it is in an infinite loop.

I think we should make some changes in some logs in DPDK, and change the default log level to be INFO or less, so we could use the DEBUG level for things like this, but anyway, that would be another patch that I am thinking to submit some other day.
Anyway, for this one, this option could work, but still that message may be shown hundreds of thousands of times per second, considering that CPU is overloaded. So, should we include something like a flag here, so message is shown just once?
I know that this will only be used when DEBUG is enabled, but still that could flood the screen, as it is in an infinite loop.

Hi Reshma,

No really.
I would just change printf to what I suggested.
For your app, I believe that is more than enough.
But if you'd like to introduce some sort of rate limiting for logging -
sure go ahead would be interesting to see that patch.

[PATCH v3] distributor_app: new sample app

[reshmapa]

From: Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
* Command-line option support provided only for portmask.

rte_exit here?  Also, this is a pretty ungraceful exit strategy as all the
threads you've created and memory you've allocated are just forgotten here.
Given that dpdk mempools are shared, this has the potential to leak lots of
memory if other apps are using the dpdk at the same time that you run this.  You
probably want to use the sigint handler to raise a flag to the tx/rx threads to
shutdown gracefully, and then free your allocated memory and mempool.

Unless the different processes are explicitly cooperating as 
primary/secondary, the mempools are not shared. I just don't see the need 
for this app to do more cleanup on ctrl-c signal, as it's not intended to be 
a multiprocess app, and there is little that any secondary process could do 
to work with this app, except possibly some resource monitoring, which would 
be completely unaffected by it exiting the way it does.

Ah, ok, so we don't use a common shared pool between isolated processes then,
thats good.  Still though, this is a sample application, I think its lazy
programming practice to illustrate to application developers that its generally
ok to exit programs without freeing your resources.  Its about 20 lines of
additional code to change the sigint handler to flag an exit condition, and have
all the other threads join on it.

1)I had sent v5 patch which handles graceful shutdown of rx and tx threads upon SIGINT
2)Worker thread graceful shutdown was not handled as of now as it needs some change in lcore_worker logic , which will be done in future enhancements.
3)Freeing of mempool is also not handled , as the framework support is not available.
4)Cleaning of rx/tx queues not done, as it needs some extensive logic which we haven't planned as of now. Will check the possibility of doing it in future  enhancements    i.e in next version of sample application.

I see it and will take a look shortly, thanks.

Not sure I understand what you mean here.  Can you elaborate?

Ew, I hadn't noticed that, freeing of mempools seems like something we should
implement.

> 4)Cleaning of rx/tx queues not done, as it needs some extensive logic which we haven't planned as of now. Will check the possibility of doing it in future  enhancements    i.e in next version of sample application.
We can't just flush the queues after we shutdown the workers?  I presume a queue
flush operation exists, yes?

Other than code hygiene, which does have some value in itself, I can't 
really see what the practical point of such cleanup would be. 

If traffic is going through the system, and the process is killed packets 
will be dropped, whatever we do, as packet reception will stop. If traffic 
is not going through the system, then there are no packets in flight and 
therefore no relevant cleanup to be done. [And if the traffic is stopped 
just before shutting down the app, at a throughput rate of a couple of 
million packets per second, the app should be flushed of packets within tiny 
fractions of a second].

So overall, I just don't see complicated jumping through hoops for flushing 
and cleaning up things being worth the effort. These apps are designed to 
run in a forever loop, and, in the exception case, when killed the cleanup 
done by kernel is sufficient.

This is really the only assertion I'm trying to make.  I understand this
application won't suffer from exiting uncleanly, and that makes the need for
preforming cleanup little more than overhead.

But that said, hygine is exactly the point I'm driving at here.  These are
example applications, that presumably people look at when writing their own
apps.  If you don't do things properly, people looking at your code are less
likely to do them as well.  Even if it doesn't hurt for you to exit uncleanly,
it will hurt someone, and if they look to these examples as a source of best
practices, it seems to me that it would be in everyones interest, if best
practices were demonstrated.

rte_distributor_process which runs as part of rx thread will process incoming packets and checks for any requests for the packets from worker threads .
If request is seen, it adds the packet/work  to particular workers back log and proceed with processing of  next packet.
 If no request seen the packet index will not be incremented and the while loop which is conditionally based on packet indexing  runs in a continuous loop without breaking and rx thread will not proceed with next statement execution until unless rte_distributor_process  comes out of while loop. 
This issue happens only when we enable graceful shutdown logic for both rx/worker threads, as workers threads gets killed and no request seen by rx thread and it stucks. 
Hence as of now graceful shutdown logic is provided only for rx thread. For worker threads will check what can be done in next enhancements.

I see what you're saying, Once you make a call to rte_distributor_get_pkt, you
have no way to gracefully shut down use of the rte_distributor_library. Not just
this application, but any application.  Thats just not sane, and suggests that
we integrated the rte_distributor library too soon.  I would suggest that you
prefix this patch with an update to the rte distributor library to allow
rte_distributor_get_pkt and friends to return NULL if the queue is emtpy.
Applications should be checking the return value for NULL anyway, and can
preform the rte_pause operation.  Then update this patch to do a clean exit.  To
say that "we will check what can be done in the next enhancements" is to say
that this won't be addressed again until a paying custmoer gripes about it.

Hi Neil,

We have rte_distributor_request_pkt and rte_distributor_poll_pkt() in dpdk.org,  which can be used together(in place of  rte_distributor_get_pkt)
 to check empty queue condition I believe. So no separate changes needed.
Though we replace to rte_distributor_get_pkt with above two, the issue will not be solved as the thread that gets blocked is rx thread but not worker thread.
Rx thread gets blocked in rte_distributore_process due to non-availability of requests from worker. 
 How about sending dummy request_pkts upon SIGINT and allow rte_distributore_process to get to completion?

I suppose creating a flagged dummy packet to ensure that the worker threads can
exit their spin loops works fine, yes.

I think that in theory not resetting HW at process termination can cause a problem.
Something like that:
- DPDK app has HW RX/TX queues active with armed RXDs, but the link is idle (no packets are flying). 
- DPDK app terminates abnormally.
- user deletes DPDK hugepages files.
- Hugepage memory that was used by DPDK for RXDs/data buffers are given to other app (or kernel).
- Packet arrives -a s HW is still active - it will do a write to the RXD and data-buffer. 
- Silent memory corruption.

Saying that, I don't think we can completely eliminate that problem from user-space code -
as not process signals can be handled. 
>From other side - our whole concept is to move away from custom kernel modules...
Though we probably can make it less possible to happen - create a termination handler,
that  would try to reset all active HW.
And make sure it is called atexit and all catchable signals that cause process termination.
But I don' t think it is a good idea to duplicate such code in each and every sample app.
I think it should be in the librte_eal, and yes - it is a subject of a separate patch/discussion :)

You have sent a patch which depends of the previous one, right?
It's OK but for next time, please consider these guidelines:
- You should mention that it depends of another pending patch (with its title)
- You should not increment the version number (v4) as it doesn't supersed the
  previous one. It's v1 for this patch so no number is required.

Thanks

[PATCH v5] distributor_app: new sample app

[reshmapa]

From: Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
* Command-line option support provided only for portmask.

v5 change:
* Handled gracefull shutdown of rx and tx threads upon SIGINT.

[PATCH v6] distributor_app: new sample app

[Reshma Pattan]

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:


* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
* Command-line option support provided only for portmask.

v5 change:
* Handled gracefull shutdown of rx and tx threads upon SIGINT.

v6 change:
* modified graceful shutdown logic to handle all threads upon SIGINT
* removed call to rte_eal_pci_probe()
* added seperate print_stats function

You can remove these two structures (and all the macros involved),
if you pass NULL to rxconf/txconf parameters when calling RX/TX queue setup.

Recently, a new functionality has been added for RX/TX queue setup. 
You can now use NULL as rxconf/txconf parameter, so it will use 
the optimal configuration, so it will save you some lines of code and simplify it.

Typos in "running" and "workers gets". Plus, use standard multi-line comments.

Move "/*" to the first line, to be consistent with other multi-line comments.

[PATCH v7] distributor_app: new sample app

[Reshma Pattan]

From: Reshma Pattan <reshma.pattan-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

A new sample app that shows the usage of the distributor library. This
app works as follows:

* An RX thread runs which pulls packets from each ethernet port in turn
  and passes those packets to worker using a distributor component.
* The workers take the packets in turn, and determine the output port
  for those packets using basic l2forwarding doing an xor on the source
  port id.
* The RX thread takes the returned packets from the workers and enqueue
  those packets into an rte_ring structure.
* A TX thread pulls the packets off the rte_ring structure and then
  sends each packet out the output port specified previously by the worker
* Command-line option support provided only for portmask.

v5 change:
* Handled gracefull shutdown of rx and tx threads upon SIGINT.

v6 change:
* modified graceful shutdown logic to handle all threads upon SIGINT
* removed call to rte_eal_pci_probe()
* added seperate print_stats function

v7 change:
* passing NULL as rxconf/txconf parameter for rx/tx queue setup
* removed zero-ed fields from port conf structure
* fixed style related comments

Before applying this patch, I have 2 comments:
- Other examples directories don't have _app suffix.
- checkpatch reports "switch and case should be at the same indent"

If you agree I will fix these 2 minor issues before applying.
