Hi lihuisong,
This means that queue offloads need to update by recalling
dev_configure and setup target queues.
Why not update queue offloads in PMD?
Can you tell me, where is the limitation?
According to other Rx/Tx offload configurations, this may not be a
limitation.
But it seems to create a dependency on user usage.
Port VLAN releated offloads are set by ethdev ops. There is no
requirement in ehedev layer that this port needs to stopped when
set
these offloads.
Now it depends on user does recall dev_configure and setup queues
to update queue offloads because of setting these offloads.
Thanks,
Mingjin

After setting vlan offload in testpmd, the result is not updated
to rxq. Therefore, the queue needs to be reconfigured after
executing the "vlan offload" related commands.

In addition, I have some comments:
1) Normally, the parsed function of testpmd command needed to
re-config port and queue needs to check if port status is STOPED.
Why don't you add this check?
The check is exist.
Where is the check? Currently, it seems that this check does not
exist in the this command parsed function.
Check if the port is forwarded, in the source file test-pmd.c:2835.
I don't understand why you mention the check in start_port(). It should be
done in command parsed link other command.
The command types include configuration and show these two types of commands.
show commands: There is no need to judge whether the port has stopped working.
configuration commands: Not all commands need to stop the port, there will be
judgment if necessary.
Hi, @andrew.rybche...@oktetlabs.ru can you please help review this patch?
Thanks.
cmd_vlan_offload_parsed() goes down to the follow ethdev API
functions:
- rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_strip_on_queue()
- rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_offload()
There functions may change settings when port is started, running and
processing traffic. And, as far as I know, it
is the primary goal of these functions. So, we should not
require application to do stop and reconfigure to apply
these settings.
It is an interesting question what should happen if
application stops and starts the port back. As far as I can
see it is not documented and it should be improved. I'd say
that typical application would expect that dynamically done
changes still apply. So, it should not be an application
headache. The patch tries to care about it on application
side and it is wrong from my point of view.
Moreover, if we finally decide that application must care
itself, the second argument should be 1 in stripq case only
since other cases do not reconfigure Rx queue. However,
it will not help anyway since rx_vlan_strip_set_on_queue()
do not save configuration changes in testpmd structures.
If the check is not exist, queue offloads are not updated until the
next port stop/start command is executed. Right?
yes
2) Why is the queue-based VLAN offload API not used?
VLAN offload is a port-related configuration. If a single port is
changed, the associated queue needs to be all updated in
configuration. Therefore, there will be no additional api to configure.
Like, rte_eth_dev_set_vlan_strip_on_queue. It seems that this
kind of API is
dedicated to do this.
This means that queue offloads need to upadte by re-calling
dev_configure and setup all queues, right?
If it is, this adds a usage limitation.
return;
