Hello, We are encountering issues with the latest Memif API changes within CSIT. We are using VAT console for configuring Memif.
Current API: vat# help memif_create usage: memif_create [id <id>] [socket-id <id>] [ring_size <size>] [buffer_size <size>] [hw_addr <mac_address>] [secret <string>] [mode ip] <master|slave> vat# help memif_socket_filename_add_del usage: memif_socket_filename_add_del [add|del] id <id> filename <file> Trying to configure Memif: vat# memif_dump Sending ping id=714 memif0/0: sw_if_index 3 mac 02:fe:db:be:87:29 id 0 socket-id 0 role slave ring_size 1 buffer_size 0 state down link down vat# memif_socket_filename_add_del add id 0 filename /tmp/memif Invalid socket idmemif_socket_filename_add_del error: Misc vat# memif_socket_filename_add_del add id 1 filename /tmp/memif memif_socket_filename_add_del error: Misc vat# memif_create id 0 socket-id 1 master memif_create error: Invalid argument vpp# create memif socket id 0 filename /tmp/memif command deprecated. Please use 'create interface memif' instead. vpp# sh ver vpp v18.04-rc0~253-g76447a7~b3733 built by jenkins on ubuntu1604-basebuild-8c-32g-2493 at Wed Feb 21 08:39:53 UTC 2018 Can you please help how to properly configure Memif over VAT (it was working before)? Thank you. Peter Mikus Engineer – Software Cisco Systems Limited From: vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io [mailto:vpp-dev-boun...@lists.fd.io] On Behalf Of Jon Loeliger Sent: Monday, January 22, 2018 5:59 PM To: vpp-dev <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> Subject: [vpp-dev] Upcoming memif API and CLI changes. Folks, Just a heads-up that I have submitted a patch that alters both the API and the CLI for the memif functions. That patch is being reviewed and will (hopefully) be merge soon. Prior to the patch, the memif CLI supported a create and a delete command roughly like this: vppctl# create memif id <id> filename <socket-filename> (master|slave) ... After the patch, the management of the <socket-filename> will be through a separate API call and a corresponding CLI command: vppctl# create memif socket id <socket-id> filename <socket-filename> Then in the memif interface command, one references the <socket-id> instead: vppctl# create interface memif id <id> socket-id <socket-id> (master|slave) ... Note that in addition to the <socket-id> replacing the <socket-filename>, the command itself has changed from "create memif" to "create interface memif". To flesh-out the patch, dump/details API calls were added for the new socket id-filename table, and VAT learned direct API call mechanisms for the new APIs as well. HTH, jdl
