The csum FWD mode parses any received packet to set mbuf offloads
for the transmitting burst, mainly in the checksum/TSO areas.
In the case of a tunnel header, the csum FWD tries to detect known
tunnels by the standard definition using the header'sdata and
fallback to check the packet type in the mbuf to see if the Rx
port driver already sign the packet as a tunnel.
In the fallback case, the csum assumes the tunnel is VXLAN and
parses the tunnel as VXLAN.
As far as I can see there is a VXLAN port check in 'parse_vxlan()',
why it is not helping?
The problem is not the vxlan check but the tunnel type in mbuf that
caused the
packet to be detected as vxlan(default) before checking GENEVE tunnel case.
Check is as following:
if (udp_hdr->dst_port != _htons(RTE_VXLAN_DEFAULT_PORT) &&
RTE_ETH_IS_TUNNEL_PKT(pkt_type) == 0)
return;
Do you what is the intention for the "RTE_ETH_IS_TUNNEL_PKT(pkt_type) ==
0"
check?
Why vxlan parsing doesn't stop when it is not default port?
Maybe some drivers set the tunnel type for vxlan packets coming after non-
standard vxlan port.
But checking the tunnel flag to say that it is vxlan is too broad, isn't it?
And this is the problem you are having.
Can there be any way to detect and check non-standard vxlan port?
Maybe yes, but it is probably more complex solusion.
See this patch:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/1423819371-24222-13-git-send-email-olivier.m...@6wind.com/
comments there:
1. check udp destination port, 4789 is the default vxlan port (rfc7348).
2. currently, this flag is set by i40e only if the packet is vxlan
And maybe another driver assumes more ports here.
Collecting all the non-standard ports can start from i40 maintainers😊
I think, here we should check for supported tunnel types only. The i40
driver setting a Tunnel flag, does not means that it VxLan type only.
As in your case those were GENEVE packets getting treated as VxLan.
Making parse_vxlan() udp_dst_port specific can avoid this issue.
When the GENEVE tunnel was added to the known tunnels in csum, its
parsing trial was wrongly located after the pkt type detection,
causing the csum to parse the GENEVE header as VXLAN when the Rx
port set the tunnel packet type.
Locate the GENEVE parsing trial before the packet type detection.
