The pcap file will be synchronized to the disk when stopping the device. It takes a long time if the file is large that would cause the 'detach sync request' timeout when the device is closed under multi-process scenario.
This commit fixes the issue by performing synchronization in Tx path Fixes: 4c173302c307 ("pcap: add new driver") Cc: sta...@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Yiding Zhou <yidingx.z...@intel.com> --- drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c | 18 ++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c b/drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c index ec29fd6bc5..52eafa5674 100644 --- a/drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c +++ b/drivers/net/pcap/pcap_ethdev.c @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ * Copyright(c) 2014 6WIND S.A. * All rights reserved. */ - +#include <unistd.h> #include <time.h> #include <pcap.h> @@ -38,6 +38,8 @@ #define RTE_PMD_PCAP_MAX_QUEUES 16 +#define ETH_PCAP_SYNC_THRESHOLD 0x20000000 + static char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE]; static struct timespec start_time; static uint64_t start_cycles; @@ -47,6 +49,8 @@ static uint8_t iface_idx; static uint64_t timestamp_rx_dynflag; static int timestamp_dynfield_offset = -1; +RTE_DEFINE_PER_LCORE(uint64_t, _pcap_cached_bytes); + struct queue_stat { volatile unsigned long pkts; volatile unsigned long bytes; @@ -144,6 +148,16 @@ static struct rte_eth_link pmd_link = { RTE_LOG_REGISTER_DEFAULT(eth_pcap_logtype, NOTICE); +static inline void +pcap_dumper_data_sync(pcap_dumper_t *dumper, uint32_t bytes) +{ + RTE_PER_LCORE(_pcap_cached_bytes) += bytes; + if (unlikely(RTE_PER_LCORE(_pcap_cached_bytes) > ETH_PCAP_SYNC_THRESHOLD)) { + if (!fdatasync(fileno(pcap_dump_file(dumper)))) + RTE_PER_LCORE(_pcap_cached_bytes) = 0; + } +} + static struct queue_missed_stat* queue_missed_stat_update(struct rte_eth_dev *dev, unsigned int qid) { @@ -421,7 +435,7 @@ eth_pcap_tx_dumper(void *queue, struct rte_mbuf **bufs, uint16_t nb_pkts) * process stops and to make sure the pcap file is actually written, * we flush the pcap dumper within each burst. */ - pcap_dump_flush(dumper); + pcap_dumper_data_sync(dumper, tx_bytes); dumper_q->tx_stat.pkts += num_tx; dumper_q->tx_stat.bytes += tx_bytes; dumper_q->tx_stat.err_pkts += nb_pkts - num_tx; -- 2.34.1
