mbuf: make rearm data address naturally aligned

To avoid multiple stores on fast path, Ethernet drivers
aggregate the writes to data_off, refcnt, nb_segs and port
to an uint64_t data and write the data in one shot

Some of the non-IA platforms have store operation overhead

7 years agombuf: set mbuf fields while in pool
Olivier Matz [Tue, 4 Apr 2017 16:28:02 +0000 (18:28 +0200)]
mbuf: set mbuf fields while in pool

Set the value of m->refcnt to 1, m->nb_segs to 1 and m->next
to NULL when the mbuf is stored inside the mempool (unused).
This is done in rte_pktmbuf_prefree_seg(), before freeing or
recycling a mbuf.

Before this patch, the value of m->refcnt was expected to be 0
while in pool.

The objectives are:

- to avoid drivers to set m->next to NULL in the early Rx path, since
  this field is in the second 64B of the mbuf and its access could
  trigger a cache miss

- rationalize the behavior of raw_alloc/raw_free: one is now the
  symmetric of the other, and refcnt is never changed in these functions.

To optimize the freeing of the segments, we try try to only update
m->refcnt, m->next, and m->nb_segs when it's required (idea from
Konstantin Ananyev <konstantin.ananyev@intel.com>).

eventdev: introduce event driven programming model

In a polling model, lcores poll ethdev ports and associated
rx queues directly to look for packet. In an event driven model,
by contrast, lcores call the scheduler that selects packets for
them based on programmer-specified criteria. Eventdev library
adds support for event driven programming model, which offer
applications automatic multicore scaling, dynamic load balancing,
pipelining, packet ingress order maintenance and
synchronization services to simplify application packet processing.

By introducing event driven programming model, DPDK can support
both polling and event driven programming models for packet processing,
and applications are free to choose whatever model
(or combination of the two) that best suits their needs.

7 years agovhost: introduce API to start a specific driver
Yuanhan Liu [Sat, 1 Apr 2017 07:22:56 +0000 (15:22 +0800)]
vhost: introduce API to start a specific driver

We used to use rte_vhost_driver_session_start() to trigger the vhost-user
session. It takes no argument, thus it's a global trigger. And it could
be problematic.

The issue is, currently, rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) actually
tries to put it into the session loop (by fdset_add). However, it needs
a set of APIs to set a vhost-user driver properly:
  * rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags);
  * rte_vhost_driver_set_features(path, features);
  * rte_vhost_driver_callback_register(path, vhost_device_ops);

If a new vhost-user driver is registered after the trigger (think OVS-DPDK
that could add a port dynamically from cmdline), the current code will
effectively starts the session for the new driver just after the first
API rte_vhost_driver_register() is invoked, leaving later calls taking
no effect at all.

To handle the case properly, this patch introduce a new API,
rte_vhost_driver_start(path), to trigger a specific vhost-user driver.
To do that, the rte_vhost_driver_register(path, flags) is simplified
to create the socket only and let rte_vhost_driver_start(path) to
actually put it into the session loop.

Meanwhile, the rte_vhost_driver_session_start is removed: we could hide
the session thread internally (create the thread if it has not been
created). This would also simplify the application.

NOTE: the API order in prog guide is slightly adjusted for showing the
correct invoke order.
