This appears to occur when /sys/devices/.../inifiband/mlx5_*/ports/*/hw_counters/out_of_buffer rolls o= ver. This value is an unsigned 32 bit and testpmd uses an unsigned 64 bit to sto= re the value. The initial value is read when testpmd is started, then a new va= lue is read while it is running. If the value read is less than the initial read (after a rollover occurs), the difference will result in a negative value (= or in the case of unsigned storage, an extremely large value). The calculation occurs in mlx5_stats_get(): mlx5_read_ib_stat(priv, "out_of_buffer", &tmp.imissed); tmp.imissed -=3D priv->stats_ctrl.imissed_base; Where the stored value, priv->stats_ctrl.imissed_base, contains a larger va= lue than the value stored in tmp.imissed. Two possible solutions are to change the Mellanox drivers to use an unsigne= d 64 bit value for out_of_buffer in sysfs (so that it doesn't rollover), or to modify the mlx5 code to account for the rollover. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
