Hello Asaf,we want to mark packets both ways - in the software (by editing mbufs) or in the hardware (by ingress rules). Then we want to use that mark to match packets in egress where we want to change dst mac address or vlan vid.
Is there any way to do it? Thank you, David On 13/09/2022 21:39, Asaf Penso wrote:
Hello David, Can we first understand what you would like to achieve? Accordingly, we can suggest a way to do so.

I am using DPDK 21.11.1. If I try to offload this rule to mlx5 NIC, without any device arguments, it says that I need to enable extended metadata feature: # dpdk-testpmd -a 65:00.0 -- -i EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 40 EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1 EAL: Detected shared linkage of DPDK EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA' EAL: No free 1048576 kB hugepages reported on node 0 EAL: No available 1048576 kB hugepages reported EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:1017) device: 0000:65:00.0 (socket 0) TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created Interactive-mode selected testpmd: create a new mbuf pool <mb_pool_0>: n=459456, size=2176, socket=0 testpmd: preferred mempool ops selected: ring_mp_mc Warning! port-topology=paired and odd forward ports number, the last port will pair with itself.

But I cannot offload a rule which contains JUMP action, so I cannot jump to group, where the rule with mark in the matching pattern can be offloaded. # dpdk-testpmd -a 65:00.0,dv_xmeta_en=1 -- -i EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 40 EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 1 EAL: Detected shared linkage of DPDK EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/rte/mp_socket EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'PA' EAL: No free 1048576 kB hugepages reported on node 0 EAL: No available 1048576 kB hugepages reported EAL: Probe PCI driver: mlx5_pci (15b3:1017) device: 0000:65:00.0 (socket 0) TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created Interactive-mode selected testpmd: create a new mbuf pool <mb_pool_0>: n=459456, size=2176, socket=0 testpmd: preferred mempool ops selected: ring_mp_mc Warning! port-topology=paired and odd forward ports number, the last port will pair with itself.
