Current testpmd forces a dedicated core for each rxq, some rxqs may be ignored when core number is less than rxq number, and that causes confusion and inconvenience. One example: an engineer was doing multiqueue test, there're 2 ports in guest each with 4 queues, and testpmd was used as the forwarding engine in guest, as usual he used 1 core for forwarding, as a results he only saw traffic from port 0 queue 0 to port 1 queue 0, then a lot of emails and quite some time are spent to root cause it, and of course it's caused by this unreasonable testpmd behavior. Moreover, even if we understand this behavior, if we want to test the above case, we still need 8 cores for a single guest to poll all the rxqs, obviously this is too expensive. We met quite a lot cases like this, one recent example: http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2016-June/072110.html Signed-off-by: Zhihong Wang Acked-by: Pablo de Lara --- diff --git a/app/test-pmd/config.c b/app/test-pmd/config.c index 6f1ead0c4e..406158bd48 100644 --- a/app/test-pmd/config.c +++ b/app/test-pmd/config.c @@ -1199,19 +1199,13 @@ rss_fwd_config_setup(void) cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_ports = nb_fwd_ports; cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_streams = (streamid_t) (nb_q * cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_ports); - if (cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_streams > cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_lcores) - cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_streams = - (streamid_t)cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_lcores; - else - cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_lcores = - (lcoreid_t)cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_streams; /* reinitialize forwarding streams */ init_fwd_streams(); setup_fwd_config_of_each_lcore(&cur_fwd_config); rxp = 0; rxq = 0; - for (lc_id = 0; lc_id < cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_lcores; lc_id++) { + for (lc_id = 0; lc_id < cur_fwd_config.nb_fwd_streams; lc_id++) { struct fwd_stream *fs; fs = fwd_streams[lc_id];
