DPDK HQoS: Enable Hierarchical Scheduler in VPP
This commit extends the vpp framework with new thread type "hqos-threads" that runs the Hierarchical Quality of Service (HQoS) scheduler associted with output interface. HQoS Scheduler prioritize the packets from different users and ensures sufficient bandwidth to pass the more important traffic. At high level, HQoS scheduler is a buffer that can temporarily store a large number of packets. In otherwords, it is a collection of large number of queues organized into hierarchy of 5 levels; the port (i.e. the physical interface) is at the root of the hierarchy followed by the subport (a set of users), the pipes (individual users), the traffic classes (each with a strict priority) and at the leaves, the queues. In each HQoS scheduler, three operations are performed; classification (setting HQoS port, subport, pipe, traffic class and queue within traffic class from packet fields), enqueue (selecting HQoS queue for the packet, and to drop the packet if the queue is full) and dequeue (schedule the packet based on its length and available credits, and handover the scheduled packet to the output interface). In vpp, the number of hqos threads will be equal to cpu cores specified in corelist-hqos-threads parameter cpu section of the vpp configuration file. One hqos thread can run HQoS for multiple output interfaces. A particular HQoS instance is initialised with default parameters required to configure hqos port, subport, pipe and queues. Some of them can be re-configured in run-time through CLI commands as well binary APIs. Following illustrates the sample startup configuration file with 4x worker threads feeding 2x hqos threads that handle each HQoS for 1x output interface. For more details on HQoS configuration please refer to DPDK Programmer's Guide. dpdk { socket-mem 16384,16384 dev 0000:02:00.0 { num-rx-queues 2 hqos } dev 0000:06:00.0 { num-rx-queues 2 hqos } num-mbufs 1000000 } cpu { main-core 0 corelist-workers 1, 2, 3, 4 corelist-hqos-threads 5, 6 } Change-Id: I635c3395a7c4ddf0a239ef77b0b0a31a6dfc4767 Signed-off-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jasvinder Singh <jasvinder.singh@intel.com>
