How can I confirm this is a kernel problem?
And I added some codes in xsk_configure to set xdp attach mode as " SKB_MODE", then the testpmd works fine in this test environment on p1p1 interface. So, could you add one option to set "xdp attach mode" in AF_XDP Options in next DPDK release? https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/af_xdp.html BRs//Xiaohua ======================================================================== static int xsk_configure(struct pmd_internals *internals, struct pkt_rx_queue *rxq, int ring_size) { struct xsk_socket_config cfg; struct pkt_tx_queue *txq = rxq->pair; int ret = 0; int reserve_size = ETH_AF_XDP_DFLT_NUM_DESCS; struct rte_mbuf *fq_bufs[reserve_size]; bool reserve_before; rxq->umem = xdp_umem_configure(internals, rxq); if (rxq->umem == NULL) return -ENOMEM; txq->umem = rxq->umem; reserve_before = __atomic_load_n(&rxq->umem->refcnt, __ATOMIC_ACQUIRE) <= 1; #if defined(XDP_UMEM_UNALIGNED_CHUNK_FLAG) ret = rte_pktmbuf_alloc_bulk(rxq->umem->mb_pool, fq_bufs, reserve_size); if (ret) { AF_XDP_LOG(DEBUG, "Failed to get enough buffers for fq.\n"); goto out_umem; } #endif /* reserve fill queue of queues not (yet) sharing UMEM */ if (reserve_before) { ret = reserve_fill_queue(rxq->umem, reserve_size, fq_bufs, &rxq->fq); if (ret) { AF_XDP_LOG(ERR, "Failed to reserve fill queue.\n"); goto out_umem; } } cfg.rx_size = ring_size; cfg.tx_size = ring_size; cfg.libbpf_flags = 0; cfg.xdp_flags = XDP_FLAGS_UPDATE_IF_NOEXIST; cfg.bind_flags = 0; /* Force AF_XDP socket into copy mode when users want it */ if (internals->force_copy) cfg.bind_flags |= XDP_COPY; /* =================new added code ==========================*/ const char *env_xdp_attach_mode; env_xdp_attach_mode = getenv(XDP_ATTACH_MODE); if (env_xdp_attach_mode) { AF_XDP_LOG(INFO,"XDP attach mode enviroment variable is %s.\n", env_xdp_attach_mode); if (env_xdp_attach_mode[0] == '1' && env_xdp_attach_mode[1] == '\0') cfg.xdp_flags |= XDP_FLAGS_SKB_MODE; else if (env_xdp_attach_mode[0] == '2' && env_xdp_attach_mode[1] == '\0') cfg.xdp_flags |= XDP_FLAGS_DRV_MODE; else if (env_xdp_attach_mode[0] == '3' && env_xdp_attach_mode[1] == '\0') cfg.xdp_flags |= XDP_FLAGS_HW_MODE; else AF_XDP_LOG(INFO,"XDP attach mode enviroment variable shall be 1 or 2 or 3.\n"); } else { AF_XDP_LOG(INFO,"No XDP attach mode enviroment variable.\n"); } /* =================new added code ==========================*/ -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Hemminger <step...@networkplumber.org> Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2024 12:09 AM To: Xiaohua Wang <xiaohua.w...@ericsson.com> Cc: dev@dpdk.org Subject: Re: Can DPDK AF_XDP PMD support macvlan driver in container?
