Hi Ferruh,

I agree with your proposal. But if we remove record structures, we will
not be able to query the current queue stats mapping configuration. Or
we can provide a query API for the PMD driver that uses the
set_queue_stats_mapping API, and driver records these mapping
information from user.

What do you think?


Sorry for delay,

Yes that information will be lost, but since the queue stats mapping is not commonly used, I think it can be OK to loose it.

As you said another option is to add a new ethdev API to get queue stats mapping, but because of same reason not sure about adding it. We can add it later if there is a request for it.

Currently, the queue stats mapping has the following problems:
1) Many PMD drivers don't support queue stats mapping. But there is no
failure message after executing the command "set stat_qmap rx 0 2 2".
2) Once queue mapping is set, unrelated and unmapped queues are also
displayed.
3) There is no need to keep cache line alignment for
'struct queue_stats_mappings'.
4) The mapping arrays, 'tx_queue_stats_mappings_array' &
'rx_queue_stats_mappings_array' are global and their sizes are based on
fixed max port and queue size assumptions.
5) The configuration result does not take effect or can not be queried
in real time.

Therefore, we have made the following adjustments:
1) If PMD supports queue stats mapping, configure to driver in real time
after executing the command "set stat_qmap rx/tx ...". If not,
the command can not be accepted.
2) Only display queues that mapping done by adding a new 'active' field
  in queue_stats_mappings struct.
3) Remove cache alignment for 'struct queue_stats_mappings'.
4) Add a new port_stats_mappings struct in rte_port.
The struct contains number of rx/txq stats mapping, rx/tx
queue_stats_mapping_enabled flag, and rx/tx queue_stats_mapping array.
Size of queue_stats_mapping_array is set to "RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS"
  to ensure that the same number of queues can be set for each port.


Hi Connor,

I think above adjustment are good, but after the decision to use xstats for the queue stats, what do you think about more simplification,

1)
What testpmd does is, records the queue stats mapping commands and registers them later on port start & forwarding start.
What happens if recording and registering completely removed?
When "set stat_qmap .." issued, it just call the ethdev APIs to do the mapping in device. This lets us removing record structures, "struct port_stats_mappings p_stats_map" Also can remove 'map_port_queue_stats_mapping_registers()' and its sub functions.

2)
Also lets remove "tx-queue-stats-mapping" & "rx-queue-stats-mapping" parameters, which enables removing 'parse_queue_stats_mapping_config()' function too

3)
Another problem is to display the queue stats, in 'fwd_stats_display()' & 'nic_stats_display()', there is a check if the queue stats mapping enable or not ('rx_queue_stats_mapping_enabled' & 'tx_queue_stats_mapping_enabled'), I think displaying queue stats and queue stat mapping should be separate, why not drop checks for queue stats mapping and display queue stats for 'nb_rxq' & 'nb_txq' queues?

Does above make sense?


Majority of the drivers doesn't require queue stat mapping to get the queue stats, lets don't pollute main usage with this requirement.
