From: Viacheslav Ovsiienko Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2021 09:59:01 +0000 (+0000) Subject: net/mlx5: fix drop action for Direct Rules/Verbs X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=da845ae9d7c1;p=dpdk.git net/mlx5: fix drop action for Direct Rules/Verbs There are multiple branches in rdma-core library backing the rte flows: - Verbs - Direct Verbs (DV) - Direct Rules (DR) The Verbs API always requires the specifying the queue even if there is the drop action in the flow, though the kernel optimizes out the actual queue usage for the flows containing the drop action. The PMD handles the dedicated Rx queue to provide Verbs API compatibility. The DV/DR API does not require explicit specifying the queue at the flow creation, but PMD still specified the dedicated drop queue as action. It performed the packet forwarding to the dummy queue (that was not polled at all) causing the steering pipeline resources usage and degrading the overall packet processing rate. For example, with inserted flow to drop all the ingress packets the statistics reported only 15Mpps of 64B packets were received over 100Gbps line. Since the Direct Rule API for E-Switch was introduced the rdma-core supports the dedicated drop action, that is recognized both for DV and DR and can be used for the entire device in unified fashion, regardless of steering domain. The similar drop action was introduced for E-Switch, the usage of this one can be extended for other steering domains, not for E-Switch's one only. This patch: - renames esw_drop_action to dr_drop_action to emphasize the global nature of the variable (not only E-Switch domain) - specifies this global drop action instead of dedicated drop queue for the DR/DV flows Fixes: 34fa7c0268e7 ("net/mlx5: add drop action to Direct Verbs E-Switch") Fixes: 65b3cd0dc39b ("net/mlx5: create global drop action") Cc: stable@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Viacheslav Ovsiienko Acked-by: Matan Azrad --- diff --git a/drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_os.c b/drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_os.c index 2d5bcab4cf..6ac334263e 100644 --- a/drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_os.c +++ b/drivers/net/mlx5/linux/mlx5_os.c @@ -325,7 +325,17 @@ mlx5_alloc_shared_dr(struct mlx5_priv *priv) goto error; } sh->fdb_domain = domain; - sh->esw_drop_action = mlx5_glue->dr_create_flow_action_drop(); + } + /* + * The drop action is just some dummy placeholder in rdma-core.
