Hi , I am attempting to setup/configure bond and slave interfaces in DPDK application and it fails in DPDK 19.11. DPDK daemon is started with the following command line arguments: --no-daemon --socket-mem 1024 1024 --vdev eth_bond_bond0,mode=4,xmit_policy=l34,socket_id=1,mac=ac:1f:6b:8d:d7:c6,lacp_rate=1,slave=0000:81:00.0,slave=0000:81:00.1
1. DPDK application initializes the bond interface first . It sets rx and tx offloads in dev_conf structure as (DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_CHECKSUM | DEV_RX_OFFLOAD_JUMBO_FRAME ) and (DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_UDP_CKSUM | DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_TCP_CKSUM | DEV_TX_OFFLOAD_IPV4_CKSUM) respectively. Then the application invokes rte_eth_dev_configure to setup bond. This causes some conditions such as below to fail In DPDK 19.11 : if ((dev_conf->rxmode.offloads & dev_info.rx_offload_capa) != dev_conf->rxmode.offloads) { RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR, "Ethdev port_id=%u requested Rx offloads 0x%"PRIx64" doesn't match Rx offloads " "capabilities 0x%"PRIx64" in %s()\n", port_id, dev_conf->rxmode.offloads, dev_info.rx_offload_capa, __func__); Return -EINVAL; } if ((dev_conf->txmode.offloads & dev_info.tx_offload_capa) != dev_conf->txmode.offloads) { RTE_ETHDEV_LOG(ERR, "Ethdev port_id=%u requested Tx offloads 0x%"PRIx64" doesn't match Tx offloads " "capabilities 0x%"PRIx64" in %s()\n", port_id, dev_conf->txmode.offloads, dev_info.tx_offload_capa, __func__); Return -EINVAL; } Since no slaves are configured yet, the offloads in dev_info structure of bond are set to 0.Hence there is a mismatch between dev_conf structure whose offloads are set in DPDK application and dev_info structure in which all the values 0. Finally this causes bond and slave driver setup to fail. How can this issue be fixed ? Thanks and Regards, Nandini Juniper Business Use Only
