Actually that didnt work for me. I added both the flag and called rte_eth_dev_vlan_filter() for the rellevant port and vlan, however no packets are sent. BTW, how flag resposible for rx is relevant for my tx problem?
Thanks Yan Sent from my Huawei Mobile -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: i40eVF pmd vlan id handling From: "Dey, Souvik" To: Yan Fridland CC: dev@dpdk.org We need to enable DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_FILTER from the DPDK app, and then configure the specific vlan id using rte_eth_dev_vlan_filter() to have vlan id come up to the guest. By default in VmWare I guess VLAN+MAC filtering gets enabled as, we set 0/4095 vlan_id on the VF to allow all Vlans. Can you check by setting the above offload and if that helps you . -- Thanks, Souvik From: Yan Fridland <y...@asocscloud.com> Sent: Monday, June 15, 2020 8:34 AM To: Dey, Souvik <so...@rbbn.com> Subject: RE: i40eVF pmd vlan id handling ________________________________ NOTICE: This email was received from an EXTERNAL sender ________________________________ Hi Dey, As I see in my tests with i40en on VMware, I don't have any issues when working with PF directly in Passthrough mode without SR-IOV. Problems start when working with VF (i40evf) and in my case I don't even try to do any offloading, but simply send a predefined tagged packet (tagged in application) to the port and I see that it's not even leaving the port. Its stuck somewhere between VF and PF. Perhaps you know what I should configure if I don't want HW offloading in VLAN handling and I want to tag by myself .. ?

I see there, when I enable DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_FILTER from the DPDK app, and then configure the specific vlan id using rte_eth_dev_vlan_filter(). As per DPDK code by default when we do dev_configure, we call i40evf_init_vlan() and if we don't enable rxmode.offloads with DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP, then we should send VIRTCHNL_OP_DISABLE_VLAN_STRIPPING command to the PF from the guest. With more debugging enabled, when DPDK requests VLAN filtering by sending VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_VLAN to the PF, then we see that the VF stripping is enabled also on Linux. If we don't add VLAN ID and send VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_VLAN message down to the PF , then we do receive packets with VLAN ID set. The same works fine in VmWare drivers, where we do receive VALN id in the packets if STRIP is disabled. In the linux case, when we receive frames with VLAN headers, the vlan id is stripped at the PF, and the TCI will record the missing VLAN details when handed up to the DPDK driver. With i40e debug enabled, it's clear to see the difference being reported in i40e_rxd_to_vlan_tci: Example using VLAN on i40evf SR-IOV (vlan fails): PMD: i40e_rxd_to_vlan_tci(): Mbuf vlan_tci: 8, vlan_tci_outer: 0 Port 0 pkt-len=60 nb-segs=1 ETH: src=00:10:E0:8D:A7:52 dst=FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF type=0x0806 ARP: hrd=1 proto=0x0800 hln=6 pln=4 op=1 (ARP Request) sha=00:10:E0:8D:A7:52 sip=8.8.8.102<http://8.8.8.102> tha=00:00:00:00:00:00 tip=8.8.8.3<http://8.8.8.3> As the application requested tagging not be stripped, and the hardware driver was not able to disable strip, in my opinion either DPDK or linux driver should have a bug in handing this. Also as we see VmWare i40e driver working it could be either a extra config required for linux driver or a bug in linux driver. I also tried to add a call to rte_vlan_insert() to reinstate the VLAN header using the data from TCI in i40e_rxd_to_vlan_tci(), but it is having performance impacts as expected. Also as rte_vlan_insert() does not support QINQ, it will have other issues too. Can you please clarify if this is working for i40e vlan filter test and if we are missing something in the DPDK, like sending VIRTCHNL_OP_DISABLE_VLAN_STRIPPING after every VIRTCHNL_OP_ADD_VLAN if DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP is not set by the DPDk app. -- Regards, Souvik ________________________________ Notice: This e-mail together with any attachments may contain information of Ribbon Communications Inc. that is confidential and/or proprietary for the sole use of the intended recipient.
