In practice, each +bucket entry fits into a 64-bit integer. Coincidentally, vpp's target +CPU architectures support 64-bit atomic operations. When modifying the +contents of a specific bucket, we do the following: + +* Make a working copy of the bucket's backing storage +* Atomically swap a pointer to the working copy into the bucket array +* Change the original backing store data +* Atomically swap back to the original + +So, no reader locking is required to search a bihash table. + +At lookup time, the implementation computes a key hash code. We use +the least-significant N bits of the hash to select the bucket. + +With the bucket in hand, we learn log2 (nBackingPages) for the +selected bucket. At this point, we use the next log2_size bits from +the hash code to select the specific backing page in which the +(key,value) page will be found. + +Net result: we search **one** backing page, not 2**log2_size +pages. This is a key property of the algorithm. + +When sufficient collisions occur to fill the backing pages for a given +bucket, we double the bucket size, rehash, and deal the bucket +contents into a double-sized set of backing pages. In the future, we +may represent the size as a linear combination of two powers-of-two, +to increase space efficiency. + +To solve the "jackpot case" where a set of records collide under +hashing in a bad way, the implementation will fall back to linear +search across 2**log2_size backing pages on a per-bucket basis. + +To maintain *space* efficiency, we should configure the bucket array +so that backing pages are effectively utilized. Lookup performance +tends to change *very litte* if the bucket array is too small or too +large. + +Bihash depends on selecting an effective hash function. If one were to +use a truly broken hash function such as "return 1ULL." bihash would +still work, but it would be equivalent to poorly-programmed linear +search. + +We often use cpu intrinsic functions - think crc32 - to rapidly +compute a hash code which has decent statistics. + +Bihash Cookbook +--------------- + +### Using current (key,value) template instance types + +It's quite easy to use one of the template instance types. As of this +writing, .../src/vppinfra provides pre-built templates for 8, 16, 20, +24, 40, and 48 byte keys, u8 * vector keys, and 8 byte values. + +See .../src/vppinfra/{bihash_<key-size>_8}.h + +To define the data types, #include a specific template instance, most +often in a subsystem header file: + +```c + #include <vppinfra/bihash_8_8.h> +``` + +If you're building a standalone application, you'll need to define the +various functions by #including the method implementation file in a C +source file. + +The core vpp engine currently uses most if not all of the known bihash +types, so you probably won't need to #include the method +implementation file. + + +```c + #include <vppinfra/bihash_template.c> +``` + +Add an instance of the selected bihash data structure to e.g. a +"main_t" structure: + +```c + typedef struct + { + ... + BVT (clib_bihash) hash; + or + clib_bihash_8_8_t hash; + ... + } my_main_t; +``` + +The BV macro concatenate its argument with the value of the +preprocessor symbol BIHASH_TYPE. The BVT macro concatenates its +argument with the value of BIHASH_TYPE and the fixed-string "_t". So +in the above example, BVT (clib_bihash) generates "clib_bihash_8_8_t". + +If you're sure you won't decide to change the template / type name +later, it's perfectly OK to code "clib_bihash_8_8_t" and so forth. + +In fact, if you #include multiple template instances in a single +source file, you **must** use fully-enumerated type names. The macros +stand no chance of working. + +### Initializing a bihash table + +Call the init function as shown. As a rough guide, pick a number of +buckets which is approximately +number_of_expected_records/BIHASH_KVP_PER_PAGE from the relevant +template instance header-file. See previous discussion. + +The amount of memory selected should easily contain all of the +records, with a generous allowance for hash collisions. Bihash memory +is allocated separately from the main heap, and won't cost anything +except kernel PTE's until touched, so it's OK to be reasonably +generous. + +For example: + +```c + my_main_t *mm = &my_main; + clib_bihash_8_8_t *h; + + h = &mm->hash_table; + + clib_bihash_init_8_8 (h, "test", (u32) number_of_buckets, + (uword) memory_size); +``` + +### Add or delete a key/value pair + +Use BV(clib_bihash_add_del), or the explicit type variant: + +```c + clib_bihash_kv_8_8_t kv; + clib_bihash_8_8_t * h; + my_main_t *mm = &my_main; + clib_bihash_8_8_t *h; + + h = &mm->hash_table; + kv.key = key_to_add_or_delete; + kv.value = value_to_add_or_delete; + + clib_bihash_add_del_8_8 (h, &kv, is_add /* 1=add, 0=delete */); +``` + +In the delete case, kv.value is irrelevant. To change the value associated +with an existing (key,value) pair, simply re-add the [new] pair. + +### Simple search + +The simplest possible (key, value) search goes like so: + +```c + clib_bihash_kv_8_8_t search_kv, return_kv; + clib_bihash_8_8_t * h; + my_main_t *mm = &my_main; + clib_bihash_8_8_t *h; + + h = &mm->hash_table; + search_kv.key = key_to_add_or_delete; + + if (clib_bihash_search_8_8 (h, &search_kv, &return_kv) < 0) + key_not_found() + else + key_not_found(); +``` + +Note that it's perfectly fine to collect the lookup result + +```c + if (clib_bihash_search_8_8 (h, &search_kv, &search_kv)) + key_not_found(); + etc. +``` + +### Bihash vector processing + +When processing a vector of packets which need a certain lookup +performed, it's worth the trouble to compute the key hash, and +prefetch the correct bucket ahead of time. + +Here's a sketch of one way to write the required code: + +Dual-loop: +* 6 packets ahead, prefetch 2x vlib_buffer_t's and 2x packet data + required to form the record keys +* 4 packets ahead, form 2x record keys and call BV(clib_bihash_hash) + or the explicit hash function to calculate the record hashes. + Call 2x BV(clib_bihash_prefetch_bucket) to prefetch the buckets +* 2 packets ahead, call 2x BV(clib_bihash_prefetch_data) to prefetch + 2x (key,value) data pages. +* In the processing section, call 2x BV(clib_bihash_search_inline_with_hash) + to perform the search + +Programmer's choice whether to stash the hash code somewhere in +vnet_buffer(b) metadata, or to use local variables. + +Single-loop: +* Use simple search as shown above. + +### Walking a bihash table + +A fairly common scenario to build "show" commands involves walking a +bihash table. It's simple enough: + +```c + my_main_t *mm = &my_main; + clib_bihash_8_8_t *h; + void callback_fn (clib_bihash_kv_8_8_t *, void *); + + h = &mm->hash_table; + + BV(clib_bihash_foreach_key_value_pair) (h, callback_fn, (void *) arg); +``` +To nobody's great surprise: clib_bihash_foreach_key_value_pair +iterates across the entire table, calling callback_fn with active +entries. + +### Creating a new template instance + +Creating a new template is easy. Use one of the existing templates as +a model, and make the obvious changes. The hash and key_compare +methods are performance-critical in multiple senses. + +If the key compare method is slow, every lookup will be slow. If the +hash function is slow, same story.

Rather than ask feature coders to manually +construct the required graph arcs, we built a general mechanism to +manage these mechanics. + +Specifically, feature arcs comprise ordered sets of graph nodes. Each +feature node in an arc is independently controlled. Feature arc nodes +are generally unaware of each other. Handing a packet to "the next +feature node" is quite inexpensive. + +The feature arc implementation solves the problem of creating graph arcs +used for steering. + +At the beginning of a feature arc, a bit of setup work is needed, but +only if at least one feature is enabled on the arc. + +On a per-arc basis, individual feature definitions create a set of +ordering dependencies. Feature infrastructure performs a topological +sort of the ordering dependencies, to determine the actual feature +order. Missing dependencies **will** lead to runtime disorder. See +<https://gerrit.fd.io/r/#/c/12753> for an example. + +If no partial order exists, vpp will refuse to run. Circular dependency +loops of the form "a then b, b then c, c then a" are impossible to +satisfy. + +Adding a feature to an existing feature arc +------------------------------------------- + +To nobody's great surprise, we set up feature arcs using the typical +"macro -> constructor function -> list of declarations" pattern: + +```c + VNET_FEATURE_INIT (mactime, static) = + { + .arc_name = "device-input", + .node_name = "mactime", + .runs_before = VNET_FEATURES ("ethernet-input"), + }; +``` + +This creates a "mactime" feature on the "device-input" arc. + +Once per frame, dig up the vnet\_feature\_config\_main\_t corresponding +to the "device-input" feature arc: + +```c + vnet_main_t *vnm = vnet_get_main (); + vnet_interface_main_t *im = &vnm->interface_main; + u8 arc = im->output_feature_arc_index; + vnet_feature_config_main_t *fcm; + + fcm = vnet_feature_get_config_main (arc); +``` + +Note that in this case, we've stored the required arc index - assigned +by the feature infrastructure - in the vnet\_interface\_main\_t. Where +to put the arc index is a programmer's decision when creating a feature +arc. + +Per packet, set next0 to steer packets to the next node they should +visit: + +```c + vnet_get_config_data (&fcm->config_main, + &b0->current_config_index /* value-result */, + &next0, 0 /* # bytes of config data */); +``` + +Configuration data is per-feature arc, and is often unused. Note that +it's normal to reset next0 to divert packets elsewhere; often, to drop +them for cause: + +```c + next0 = MACTIME_NEXT_DROP; + b0->error = node->errors[DROP_CAUSE]; +``` + +Creating a feature arc +---------------------- + +Once again, we create feature arcs using constructor macros: + +```c + VNET_FEATURE_ARC_INIT (ip4_unicast, static) = + { + .arc_name = "ip4-unicast", + .start_nodes = VNET_FEATURES ("ip4-input", "ip4-input-no-checksum"), + .arc_index_ptr = &ip4_main.lookup_main.ucast_feature_arc_index, + }; +``` + +In this case, we configure two arc start nodes to handle the +"hardware-verified ip checksum or not" cases. During initialization, +the feature infrastructure stores the arc index as shown. + +In the head-of-arc node, do the following to send packets along the +feature arc: + +```c + ip_lookup_main_t *lm = &im->lookup_main; + arc = lm->ucast_feature_arc_index; +``` + +Once per packet, initialize packet metadata to walk the feature arc: + +```c +vnet_feature_arc_start (arc, sw_if_index0, &next, b0); +``` + +Enabling / Disabling features +----------------------------- + +Simply call vnet_feature_enable_disable to enable or disable a specific +feature: + +```c + vnet_feature_enable_disable ("device-input", /* arc name */ + "mactime", /* feature name */ + sw_if_index, /* Interface sw_if_index */ + enable_disable, /* 1 => enable */ + 0 /* (void *) feature_configuration */, + 0 /* feature_configuration_nbytes */); +``` + +The feature_configuration opaque is seldom used. + +If you wish to make a feature a _de facto_ system-level concept, pass +sw_if_index=0 at all times.

The VPP Infrastructure layer contains the following +functions: + +Vectors +------- + +Vppinfra vectors are ubiquitous dynamically resized arrays with by user +defined \"headers\". Many vpppinfra data structures (e.g. hash, heap, +pool) are vectors with various different headers. + +The memory layout looks like this: + +``` + User header (optional, uword aligned) + Alignment padding (if needed) + Vector length in elements + User's pointer -> Vector element 0 + Vector element 1 + ... + Vector element N-1 +``` + +As shown above, the vector APIs deal with pointers to the 0th element of +a vector. Null pointers are valid vectors of length zero. + +To avoid thrashing the memory allocator, one often resets the length of +a vector to zero while retaining the memory allocation. Set the vector +length field to zero via the vec\_reset\_length(v) macro. \[Use the +macro! It's smart about NULL pointers.\] + +Typically, the user header is not present. User headers allow for other +data structures to be built atop vppinfra vectors. Users may specify the +alignment for data elements via the [vec]()\*\_aligned macros. + +Vectors elements can be any C type e.g. (int, double, struct bar). This +is also true for data types built atop vectors (e.g. heap, pool, etc.). +Many macros have \_a variants supporting alignment of vector data and +\_h variants supporting non-zero-length vector headers. The \_ha +variants support both. + +Inconsistent usage of header and/or alignment related macro variants +will cause delayed, confusing failures. + +Standard programming error: memorize a pointer to the ith element of a +vector, and then expand the vector. Vectors expand by 3/2, so such code +may appear to work for a period of time. Correct code almost always +memorizes vector **indices** which are invariant across reallocations. + +In typical application images, one supplies a set of global functions +designed to be called from gdb. Here are a few examples: + +- vl(v) - prints vec\_len(v) +- pe(p) - prints pool\_elts(p) +- pifi(p, index) - prints pool\_is\_free\_index(p, index) +- debug\_hex\_bytes (p, nbytes) - hex memory dump nbytes starting at p + +Use the "show gdb" debug CLI command to print the current set. + +Bitmaps +------- + +Vppinfra bitmaps are dynamic, built using the vppinfra vector APIs. +Quite handy for a variety jobs. + +Pools +----- + +Vppinfra pools combine vectors and bitmaps to rapidly allocate and free +fixed-size data structures with independent lifetimes. Pools are perfect +for allocating per-session structures. + +Hashes +------ + +Vppinfra provides several hash flavors. Data plane problems involving +packet classification / session lookup often use +./src/vppinfra/bihash\_template.\[ch\] bounded-index extensible +hashes. These templates are instantiated multiple times, to efficiently +service different fixed-key sizes. + +Bihashes are thread-safe. Read-locking is not required. A simple +spin-lock ensures that only one thread writes an entry at a time. + +The original vppinfra hash implementation in +./src/vppinfra/hash.\[ch\] are simple to use, and are often used in +control-plane code which needs exact-string-matching. + +In either case, one almost always looks up a key in a hash table to +obtain an index in a related vector or pool. The APIs are simple enough, +but one must take care when using the unmanaged arbitrary-sized key +variant. Hash\_set\_mem (hash\_table, key\_pointer, value) memorizes +key\_pointer. It is usually a bad mistake to pass the address of a +vector element as the second argument to hash\_set\_mem. It is perfectly +fine to memorize constant string addresses in the text segment. + +Format +------ + +Vppinfra format is roughly equivalent to printf. + +Format has a few properties worth mentioning. Format's first argument is +a (u8 \*) vector to which it appends the result of the current format +operation. Chaining calls is very easy: + +```c + u8 * result; + + result = format (0, "junk = %d, ", junk); + result = format (result, "more junk = %d\n", more_junk); +``` + +As previously noted, NULL pointers are perfectly proper 0-length +vectors. Format returns a (u8 \*) vector, **not** a C-string. If you +wish to print a (u8 \*) vector, use the "%v" format string. If you need +a (u8 \*) vector which is also a proper C-string, either of these +schemes may be used: + +```c + vec_add1 (result, 0) + or + result = format (result, "<whatever>%c", 0); +``` + +Remember to vec\_free() the result if appropriate. Be careful not to +pass format an uninitialized (u8 \*). + +Format implements a particularly handy user-format scheme via the "%U" +format specification. For example: + +```c + u8 * format_junk (u8 * s, va_list *va) + { + junk = va_arg (va, u32); + s = format (s, "%s", junk); + return s; + } + + result = format (0, "junk = %U, format_junk, "This is some junk"); +``` + +format\_junk() can invoke other user-format functions if desired. The +programmer shoulders responsibility for argument type-checking. It is +typical for user format functions to blow up if the va\_arg(va, +type) macros don't match the caller's idea of reality. + +Unformat +-------- + +Vppinfra unformat is vaguely related to scanf, but considerably more +general. + +A typical use case involves initializing an unformat\_input\_t from +either a C-string or a (u8 \*) vector, then parsing via unformat() as +follows: + +```c + unformat_input_t input; + + unformat_init_string (&input, "<some-C-string>"); + /* or */ + unformat_init_vector (&input, <u8-vector>); +``` + +Then loop parsing individual elements: + +```c + while (unformat_check_input (&input) != UNFORMAT_END_OF_INPUT) + { + if (unformat (&input, "value1 %d", &value1)) + ;/* unformat sets value1 */ + else if (unformat (&input, "value2 %d", &value2) + ;/* unformat sets value2 */ + else + return clib_error_return (0, "unknown input '%U'", + format_unformat_error, input); + } +``` + +As with format, unformat implements a user-unformat function capability +via a "%U" user unformat function scheme. + +Vppinfra errors and warnings +---------------------------- + +Many functions within the vpp dataplane have return-values of type +clib\_error\_t \*. Clib\_error\_t's are arbitrary strings with a bit of +metadata \[fatal, warning\] and are easy to announce. Returning a NULL +clib\_error\_t \* indicates "A-OK, no error." + +Clib\_warning(format-args) is a handy way to add debugging +output; clib warnings prepend function:line info to unambiguously locate +the message source. Clib\_unix\_warning() adds perror()-style Linux +system-call information. In production images, clib\_warnings result in +syslog entries. + +Serialization +------------- + +Vppinfra serialization support allows the programmer to easily serialize +and unserialize complex data structures. + +The underlying primitive serialize/unserialize functions use network +byte-order, so there are no structural issues serializing on a +little-endian host and unserializing on a big-endian host. + +Event-logger, graphical event log viewer +---------------------------------------- + +The vppinfra event logger provides very lightweight (sub-100ns) +precisely time-stamped event-logging services. See +./src/vppinfra/{elog.c, elog.h} + +Serialization support makes it easy to save and ultimately to combine a +set of event logs. In a distributed system running NTP over a local LAN, +we find that event logs collected from multiple system elements can be +combined with a temporal uncertainty no worse than 50us. + +A typical event definition and logging call looks like this: + +```c + ELOG_TYPE_DECLARE (e) = + { + .format = "tx-msg: stream %d local seq %d attempt %d", + .format_args = "i4i4i4", + }; + struct { u32 stream_id, local_sequence, retry_count; } * ed; + ed = ELOG_DATA (m->elog_main, e); + ed->stream_id = stream_id; + ed->local_sequence = local_sequence; + ed->retry_count = retry_count; +``` + +The ELOG\_DATA macro returns a pointer to 20 bytes worth of arbitrary +event data, to be formatted (offline, not at runtime) as described by +format\_args. Aside from obvious integer formats, the CLIB event logger +provides a couple of interesting additions. The "t4" format +pretty-prints enumerated values: + +```c + ELOG_TYPE_DECLARE (e) = + { + .format = "get_or_create: %s", + .format_args = "t4", + .n_enum_strings = 2, + .enum_strings = { "old", "new", }, + }; +``` + +The "t" format specifier indicates that the corresponding datum is an +index in the event's set of enumerated strings, as shown in the previous +event type definition. + +The “T” format specifier indicates that the corresponding datum is an +index in the event log’s string heap. This allows the programmer to emit +arbitrary formatted strings. One often combines this facility with a +hash table to keep the event-log string heap from growing arbitrarily +large. + +Noting the 20-octet limit per-log-entry data field, the event log +formatter supports arbitrary combinations of these data types. As in: +the ".format" field may contain one or more instances of the following: + +- i1 - 8-bit unsigned integer +- i2 - 16-bit unsigned integer +- i4 - 32-bit unsigned integer +- i8 - 64-bit unsigned integer +- f4 - float +- f8 - double +- s - NULL-terminated string - be careful +- sN - N-byte character array +- t1,2,4 - per-event enumeration ID +- T4 - Event-log string table offset + +The vpp engine event log is thread-safe, and is shared by all threads. +Take care not to serialize the computation. Although the event-logger is +about as fast as practicable, it's not appropriate for per-packet use in +hard-core data plane code. It's most appropriate for capturing rare +events - link up-down events, specific control-plane events and so +forth. + +The vpp engine has several debug CLI commands for manipulating its event +log: + +``` + vpp# event-logger clear + vpp# event-logger save <filename> # for security, writes into /tmp/<filename>. + # <filename> must not contain '.' or '/' characters + vpp# show event-logger [all] [<nnn>] # display the event log + # by default, the last 250 entries +``` + +The event log defaults to 128K entries. The command-line argument "... +vlib { elog-events nnn } ..." configures the size of the event log. + +As described above, the vpp engine event log is thread-safe and shared. +To avoid confusing non-appearance of events logged by worker threads, +make sure to code vlib\_global\_main.elog\_main - instead of +vm->elog\_main. The latter form is correct in the main thread, but +will almost certainly produce bad results in worker threads. + +G2 graphical event viewer +------------------------- + +The g2 graphical event viewer can display serialized vppinfra event logs +directly, or via the c2cpel tool. + +<div class="admonition note"> + +Todo: please convert wiki page and figures + +</div> + diff --git a/docs/gettingstarted/developers/plugins.md b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/plugins.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ba3a2446306 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/plugins.md @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ + +Plugins +======= + +vlib implements a straightforward plug-in DLL mechanism.

At appropriate times, the vlib framework walks +constructor-generated singly-linked structure lists, calling the +indicated functions. vlib applications create graph nodes, add CLI +functions, start cooperative multi-tasking threads, etc. etc. using this +mechanism. + +vlib applications invariably include a number of VLIB\_INIT\_FUNCTION +(my\_init\_function) macros. + +Each init / configure / etc. function has the return type clib\_error\_t +\*. Make sure that the function returns 0 if all is well, otherwise the +framework will announce an error and exit. + +vlib applications must link against vppinfra, and often link against +other libraries such as VNET. In the latter case, it may be necessary to +explicitly reference symbol(s) otherwise large portions of the library +may be AWOL at runtime. + +Node Graph Initialization +------------------------- + +vlib packet-processing applications invariably define a set of graph +nodes to process packets. + +One constructs a vlib\_node\_registration\_t, most often via the +VLIB\_REGISTER\_NODE macro. At runtime, the framework processes the set +of such registrations into a directed graph. It is easy enough to add +nodes to the graph at runtime. The framework does not support removing +nodes. + +vlib provides several types of vector-processing graph nodes, primarily +to control framework dispatch behaviors. The type member of the +vlib\_node\_registration\_t functions as follows: + +- VLIB\_NODE\_TYPE\_PRE\_INPUT - run before all other node types +- VLIB\_NODE\_TYPE\_INPUT - run as often as possible, after pre\_input + nodes +- VLIB\_NODE\_TYPE\_INTERNAL - only when explicitly made runnable by + adding pending frames for processing +- VLIB\_NODE\_TYPE\_PROCESS - only when explicitly made runnable. + "Process" nodes are actually cooperative multi-tasking threads. They + **must** explicitly suspend after a reasonably short period of time. + +For a precise understanding of the graph node dispatcher, please read +./src/vlib/main.c:vlib\_main\_loop. + +Graph node dispatcher +--------------------- + +Vlib\_main\_loop() dispatches graph nodes. The basic vector processing +algorithm is diabolically simple, but may not be obvious from even a +long stare at the code. Here's how it works: some input node, or set of +input nodes, produce a vector of work to process. The graph node +dispatcher pushes the work vector through the directed graph, +subdividing it as needed, until the original work vector has been +completely processed. At that point, the process recurs. + +This scheme yields a stable equilibrium in frame size, by construction. +Here's why: as the frame size increases, the per-frame-element +processing time decreases. There are several related forces at work; the +simplest to describe is the effect of vector processing on the CPU L1 +I-cache. The first frame element \[packet\] processed by a given node +warms up the node dispatch function in the L1 I-cache. All subsequent +frame elements profit. As we increase the number of frame elements, the +cost per element goes down. + +Under light load, it is a crazy waste of CPU cycles to run the graph +node dispatcher flat-out. So, the graph node dispatcher arranges to wait +for work by sitting in a timed epoll wait if the prevailing frame size +is low. The scheme has a certain amount of hysteresis to avoid +constantly toggling back and forth between interrupt and polling mode. +Although the graph dispatcher supports interrupt and polling modes, our +current default device drivers do not. + +The graph node scheduler uses a hierarchical timer wheel to reschedule +process nodes upon timer expiration. + +Graph dispatcher internals +-------------------------- + +This section may be safely skipped. It's not necessary to understand +graph dispatcher internals to create graph nodes. + +Vector Data Structure +--------------------- + +In vpp / vlib, we represent vectors as instances of the vlib_frame_t type: + +```c + typedef struct vlib_frame_t + { + /* Frame flags. */ + u16 flags; + + /* Number of scalar bytes in arguments. */ + u8 scalar_size; + + /* Number of bytes per vector argument. */ + u8 vector_size; + + /* Number of vector elements currently in frame. */ + u16 n_vectors; + + /* Scalar and vector arguments to next node. */ + u8 arguments[0]; + } vlib_frame_t; +``` + +Note that one _could_ construct all kinds of vectors - including +vectors with some associated scalar data - using this structure. In +the vpp application, vectors typically use a 4-byte vector element +size, and zero bytes' worth of associated per-frame scalar data. + +Frames are always allocated on CLIB_CACHE_LINE_BYTES boundaries. +Frames have u32 indices which make use of the alignment property, so +the maximum feasible main heap offset of a frame is +CLIB_CACHE_LINE_BYTES * 0xFFFFFFFF: 64*4 = 256 Gbytes. + +Scheduling Vectors +------------------ + +As you can see, vectors are not directly associated with graph +nodes. We represent that association in a couple of ways. The +simplest is the vlib\_pending\_frame\_t: + +```c + /* A frame pending dispatch by main loop. */ + typedef struct + { + /* Node and runtime for this frame. */ + u32 node_runtime_index; + + /* Frame index (in the heap). */ + u32 frame_index; + + /* Start of next frames for this node. */ + u32 next_frame_index; + + /* Special value for next_frame_index when there is no next frame. */ + #define VLIB_PENDING_FRAME_NO_NEXT_FRAME ((u32) ~0) + } vlib_pending_frame_t; +``` + +Here is the code in .../src/vlib/main.c:vlib_main_or_worker_loop() +which processes frames: + +```c + /* + * Input nodes may have added work to the pending vector. + * Process pending vector until there is nothing left. + * All pending vectors will be processed from input -> output. + */ + for (i = 0; i < _vec_len (nm->pending_frames); i++) + cpu_time_now = dispatch_pending_node (vm, i, cpu_time_now); + /* Reset pending vector for next iteration. */ +``` + +The pending frame node_runtime_index associates the frame with the +node which will process it. + +Complications +------------- + +Fasten your seatbelt. Here's where the story - and the data structures +\- become quite complicated... + +At 100,000 feet: vpp uses a directed graph, not a directed _acyclic_ +graph. It's really quite normal for a packet to visit ip\[46\]-lookup +multiple times. The worst-case: a graph node which enqueues packets to +itself. + +To deal with this issue, the graph dispatcher must force allocation of +a new frame if the current graph node's dispatch function happens to +enqueue a packet back to itself. + +There are no guarantees that a pending frame will be processed +immediately, which means that more packets may be added to the +underlying vlib_frame_t after it has been attached to a +vlib_pending_frame_t. Care must be taken to allocate new +frames and pending frames if a (pending\_frame, frame) pair fills. + +Next frames, next frame ownership +--------------------------------- + +The vlib\_next\_frame\_t is the last key graph dispatcher data structure: + +```c + typedef struct + { + /* Frame index. */ + u32 frame_index; + + /* Node runtime for this next. */ + u32 node_runtime_index; + + /* Next frame flags. */ + u32 flags; + + /* Reflects node frame-used flag for this next. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_NO_FREE_AFTER_DISPATCH \ + VLIB_NODE_FLAG_FRAME_NO_FREE_AFTER_DISPATCH + + /* This next frame owns enqueue to node + corresponding to node_runtime_index. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_OWNER (1 << 15) + + /* Set when frame has been allocated for this next. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_IS_ALLOCATED VLIB_NODE_FLAG_IS_OUTPUT + + /* Set when frame has been added to pending vector. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_PENDING VLIB_NODE_FLAG_IS_DROP + + /* Set when frame is to be freed after dispatch. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_FREE_AFTER_DISPATCH VLIB_NODE_FLAG_IS_PUNT + + /* Set when frame has traced packets. */ + #define VLIB_FRAME_TRACE VLIB_NODE_FLAG_TRACE + + /* Number of vectors enqueue to this next since last overflow. */ + u32 vectors_since_last_overflow; + } vlib_next_frame_t; +``` + +Graph node dispatch functions call vlib\_get\_next\_frame (...) to +set "(u32 \*)to_next" to the right place in the vlib_frame_t +corresponding to the ith arc (aka next0) from the current node to the +indicated next node. + +After some scuffling around - two levels of macros - processing +reaches vlib\_get\_next\_frame_internal (...). Get-next-frame-internal +digs up the vlib\_next\_frame\_t corresponding to the desired graph +arc. + +The next frame data structure amounts to a graph-arc-centric frame +cache. Once a node finishes adding element to a frame, it will acquire +a vlib_pending_frame_t and end up on the graph dispatcher's +run-queue. But there's no guarantee that more vector elements won't be +added to the underlying frame from the same (source\_node, +next\_index) arc or from a different (source\_node, next\_index) arc. + +Maintaining consistency of the arc-to-frame cache is necessary. The +first step in maintaining consistency is to make sure that only one +graph node at a time thinks it "owns" the target vlib\_frame\_t. + +Back to the graph node dispatch function. In the usual case, a certain +number of packets will be added to the vlib\_frame\_t acquired by +calling vlib\_get\_next\_frame (...). + +Before a dispatch function returns, it's required to call +vlib\_put\_next\_frame (...) for all of the graph arcs it actually +used. This action adds a vlib\_pending\_frame\_t to the graph +dispatcher's pending frame vector. + +Vlib\_put\_next\_frame makes a note in the pending frame of the frame +index, and also of the vlib\_next\_frame\_t index. + +dispatch\_pending\_node actions +------------------------------- + +The main graph dispatch loop calls dispatch pending node as shown +above. + +Dispatch\_pending\_node recovers the pending frame, and the graph node +runtime / dispatch function. Further, it recovers the next\_frame +currently associated with the vlib\_frame\_t, and detaches the +vlib\_frame\_t from the next\_frame. + +In .../src/vlib/main.c:dispatch\_pending\_node(...), note this stanza: + +```c + /* Force allocation of new frame while current frame is being + dispatched. */ + restore_frame_index = ~0; + if (nf->frame_index == p->frame_index) + { + nf->frame_index = ~0; + nf->flags &= ~VLIB_FRAME_IS_ALLOCATED; + if (!(n->flags & VLIB_NODE_FLAG_FRAME_NO_FREE_AFTER_DISPATCH)) + restore_frame_index = p->frame_index; + } +``` + +dispatch\_pending\_node is worth a hard stare due to the several +second-order optimizations it implements. Almost as an afterthought, +it calls dispatch_node which actually calls the graph node dispatch +function. + +Process / thread model +---------------------- + +vlib provides an ultra-lightweight cooperative multi-tasking thread +model. The graph node scheduler invokes these processes in much the same +way as traditional vector-processing run-to-completion graph nodes; +plus-or-minus a setjmp/longjmp pair required to switch stacks. Simply +set the vlib\_node\_registration\_t type field to +vlib\_NODE\_TYPE\_PROCESS. Yes, process is a misnomer. These are +cooperative multi-tasking threads. + +As of this writing, the default stack size is 2<<15 = 32kb. +Initialize the node registration's process\_log2\_n\_stack\_bytes member +as needed. The graph node dispatcher makes some effort to detect stack +overrun, e.g. by mapping a no-access page below each thread stack. + +Process node dispatch functions are expected to be "while(1) { }" loops +which suspend when not otherwise occupied, and which must not run for +unreasonably long periods of time. + +"Unreasonably long" is an application-dependent concept. Over the years, +we have constructed frame-size sensitive control-plane nodes which will +use a much higher fraction of the available CPU bandwidth when the frame +size is low. The classic example: modifying forwarding tables. So long +as the table-builder leaves the forwarding tables in a valid state, one +can suspend the table builder to avoid dropping packets as a result of +control-plane activity. + +Process nodes can suspend for fixed amounts of time, or until another +entity signals an event, or both. See the next section for a description +of the vlib process event mechanism. + +When running in vlib process context, one must pay strict attention to +loop invariant issues. If one walks a data structure and calls a +function which may suspend, one had best know by construction that it +cannot change. Often, it's best to simply make a snapshot copy of a data +structure, walk the copy at leisure, then free the copy. + +Process events +-------------- + +The vlib process event mechanism API is extremely lightweight and easy +to use. Here is a typical example: + +```c + vlib_main_t *vm = &vlib_global_main; + uword event_type, * event_data = 0; + + while (1) + { + vlib_process_wait_for_event_or_clock (vm, 5.0 /* seconds */); + + event_type = vlib_process_get_events (vm, &event_data); + + switch (event_type) { + case EVENT1: + handle_event1s (event_data); + break; + + case EVENT2: + handle_event2s (event_data); + break; + + case ~0: /* 5-second idle/periodic */ + handle_idle (); + break; + + default: /* bug! */ + ASSERT (0); + } + + vec_reset_length(event_data); + } +``` + +In this example, the VLIB process node waits for an event to occur, or +for 5 seconds to elapse. The code demuxes on the event type, calling +the appropriate handler function. Each call to +vlib\_process\_get\_events returns a vector of per-event-type data +passed to successive vlib\_process\_signal\_event calls; it is a +serious error to process only event\_data\[0\]. + +Resetting the event\_data vector-length to 0 \[instead of calling +vec\_free\] means that the event scheme doesn't burn cycles continuously +allocating and freeing the event data vector. This is a common vppinfra +/ vlib coding pattern, well worth using when appropriate. + +Signaling an event is easy, for example: + +```c + vlib_process_signal_event (vm, process_node_index, EVENT1, + (uword)arbitrary_event1_data); /* and so forth */ +``` + +One can either know the process node index by construction - dig it out +of the appropriate vlib\_node\_registration\_t - or by finding the +vlib\_node\_t with vlib\_get\_node\_by\_name(...). + +Buffers +------- + +vlib buffering solves the usual set of packet-processing problems, +albeit at high performance. Key in terms of performance: one ordinarily +allocates / frees N buffers at a time rather than one at a time. Except +when operating directly on a specific buffer, one deals with buffers by +index, not by pointer. + +Packet-processing frames are u32\[\] arrays, not +vlib\_buffer\_t\[\] arrays. + +Packets comprise one or more vlib buffers, chained together as required. +Multiple particle sizes are supported; hardware input nodes simply ask +for the required size(s). Coalescing support is available. For obvious +reasons one is discouraged from writing one's own wild and wacky buffer +chain traversal code. + +vlib buffer headers are allocated immediately prior to the buffer data +area. In typical packet processing this saves a dependent read wait: +given a buffer's address, one can prefetch the buffer header +\[metadata\] at the same time as the first cache line of buffer data. + +Buffer header metadata (vlib\_buffer\_t) includes the usual rewrite +expansion space, a current\_data offset, RX and TX interface indices, +packet trace information, and a opaque areas. + +The opaque data is intended to control packet processing in arbitrary +subgraph-dependent ways. The programmer shoulders responsibility for +data lifetime analysis, type-checking, etc. + +Buffers have reference-counts in support of e.g. multicast replication. + +Shared-memory message API +------------------------- + +Local control-plane and application processes interact with the vpp +dataplane via asynchronous message-passing in shared memory over +unidirectional queues. The same application APIs are available via +sockets. + +Capturing API traces and replaying them in a simulation environment +requires a disciplined approach to the problem. This seems like a +make-work task, but it is not. When something goes wrong in the +control-plane after 300,000 or 3,000,000 operations, high-speed replay +of the events leading up to the accident is a huge win. + +The shared-memory message API message allocator vl\_api\_msg\_alloc uses +a particularly cute trick. Since messages are processed in order, we try +to allocate message buffering from a set of fixed-size, preallocated +rings. Each ring item has a "busy" bit. Freeing one of the preallocated +message buffers merely requires the message consumer to clear the busy +bit. No locking required. + +Debug CLI +--------- + +Adding debug CLI commands to VLIB applications is very simple. + +Here is a complete example: + +```c + static clib_error_t * + show_ip_tuple_match (vlib_main_t * vm, + unformat_input_t * input, + vlib_cli_command_t * cmd) + { + vlib_cli_output (vm, "%U\n", format_ip_tuple_match_tables, &routing_main); + return 0; + } + + /* *INDENT-OFF* */ + static VLIB_CLI_COMMAND (show_ip_tuple_command) = + { + .path = "show ip tuple match", + .short_help = "Show ip 5-tuple match-and-broadcast tables", + .function = show_ip_tuple_match, + }; + /* *INDENT-ON* */ +``` + +This example implements the "show ip tuple match" debug cli +command. In ordinary usage, the vlib cli is available via the "vppctl" +applicationn, which sends traffic to a named pipe. One can configure +debug CLI telnet access on a configurable port. + +The cli implementation has an output redirection facility which makes it +simple to deliver cli output via shared-memory API messaging, + +Particularly for debug or "show tech support" type commands, it would be +wasteful to write vlib application code to pack binary data, write more +code elsewhere to unpack the data and finally print the answer. If a +certain cli command has the potential to hurt packet processing +performance by running for too long, do the work incrementally in a +process node. The client can wait. diff --git a/docs/gettingstarted/developers/vnet.md b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/vnet.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..191a2a16969 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/gettingstarted/developers/vnet.md @@ -0,0 +1,171 @@ + +VNET (VPP Network Stack) +======================== + +The files associated with the VPP network stack layer are located in the +./src/vnet folder.

For example: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ cat /etc/vpp/startup.conf + unix { + nodaemon + log /var/log/vpp/vpp.log + full-coredump + cli-listen localhost:5002 + } + + api-trace { + on + } + + dpdk { + dev 0000:03:00.0 + } + +VPP is then instructed to load this file with the -c option. For example: + +.. code-block:: console + + $ sudo /usr/bin/vpp -c /etc/vpp/startup.conf + +When the VPP service is started, VPP is started with this option via another +installed file, vpp.service (Ubuntu: /lib/systemd/system/vpp.service and +CentOS: /usr/lib/systemd/system/vpp.service).

This is not +an exhaustive list of parameters available. The command-line argument parsers +can be found in the source code by searching for instances of the +**VLIB_CONFIG_FUNCTION** and **VLIB_EARLY_CONFIG_FUNCTION** macro. + +For example, the invocation *'VLIB_CONFIG_FUNCTION (foo_config, "foo")'* will +cause the function *'foo_config'* to receive all parameters given in a +parameter block named "foo": "foo { arg1 arg2 arg3 ... }". + + +List of Basic Parameters: +------------------------- + +| unix_ +| dpdk_ +| cpu_ + +List of Advanced Parameters: +---------------------------- + +| acl-plugin_ +| api-queue_ +| api-segment_ +| api-trace_ +| buffers_ +| cj_ +| dns_ +| heapsize_ +| ip_ +| ip6_ +| l2learn_ +| l2tp_ +| logging_ +| mactime_ +| map_ +| mc_ +| nat_ +| oam_ +| plugins_ +| plugin_path_ +| punt_ +| session_ +| socketsvr_ +| stats_ +| statseg_ +| tapcli_ +| tcp_ +| tls_ +| tuntap_ +| vhost-user_ +| vlib_ + +.. _unix: + +"unix" Parameters +_________________ + +Configure VPP startup and behavior type attributes, as well and any OS based +attributes. + + * **interactive** + Attach CLI to stdin/out and provide a debugging command line interface. + Implies nodaemon. + + **Example:** interactive + + * **nodaemon** + Do not fork / background the vpp process. Typical when invoking VPP + applications from a process monitor. Set by default in the default + *'startup.conf'* file. + + **Example:** nodaemon + + * **log <filename>** + Logs the startup configuration and all subsequent CLI commands in filename. + Very useful in situations where folks don't remember or can't be bothered + to include CLI commands in bug reports. The default *'startup.conf'* file + is to write to *'/var/log/vpp/vpp.log'*. + + In VPP 18.04, the default log file location was moved from '/tmp/vpp.log' + to '/var/log/vpp/vpp.log' . The VPP code is indifferent to the file location. + However, if SELinux is enabled, then the new location is required for the file + to be properly labeled. Check your local *'startup.conf'* file for the log file + location on your system. + + **Example:** log /var/log/vpp/vpp-debug.log + + * **exec|startup-config <filename>** + Read startup operational configuration from filename. The contents of the file + will be performed as though entered at the CLI. The two keywords are aliases + for the same function; if both are specified, only the last will have an effect. + The file contains CLI commands, for example: + + | $ cat /usr/share/vpp/scripts/interface-up.txt + | set interface state TenGigabitEthernet1/0/0 up + | set interface state TenGigabitEthernet1/0/1 up + + **Example:** startup-config /usr/share/vpp/scripts/interface-up.txt + + * **gid number|name>** + Sets the effective group ID to the input group ID or group name of the calling + process. + + **Example:** gid vpp + + * **full-coredump** + Ask the Linux kernel to dump all memory-mapped address regions, instead of + just text+data+bss. + + **Example:** full-coredump + + * **coredump-size unlimited|<n>G|<n>M|<n>K|<n>** + Set the maximum size of the coredump file. The input value can be set in + GB, MB, KB or bytes, or set to *'unlimited'*. + + **Example:** coredump-size unlimited + + * **cli-listen <ipaddress:port>|<socket-path>** + Bind the CLI to listen at address localhost on TCP port 5002. This will + accept an ipaddress:port pair or a filesystem path; in the latter case a + local Unix socket is opened instead. The default *'startup.conf'* file + is to open the socket *'/run/vpp/cli.sock'*. + + **Example:** cli-listen localhost:5002 + **Example:** cli-listen /run/vpp/cli.sock + + * **cli-line-mode** + Disable character-by-character I/O on stdin.

Default is based on User ID used to start VPP. + Typically it is *'root'*, which defaults to *'/run/vpp/'*. Otherwise, + defaults to *'/run/user/<uid>/vpp/'*. + + **Example:** runtime-dir /tmp/vpp + + * **poll-sleep-usec <n>** + Add a fixed-sleep between main loop poll. Default is 0, which is not to + sleep. + + **Example:** poll-sleep-usec 100 + + * **pidfile <filename>** + Writes the pid of the main thread in the given filename. + + **Example:** pidfile /run/vpp/vpp1.pid + +.. _dpdk: + +"dpdk" Parameters +_________________ + +Command line DPDK configuration controls a number of parameters, including +device whitelisting, the number of CPUs available for launching +dpdk-eal-controlled threads, the number of I/O buffers, and the process +affinity mask. In addition, the DPDK configuration function attempts to support +all of the DPDK EAL configuration parameters. + +All of the DPDK EAL options should be available. +See ../src/plugins/dpdk/device/dpdk_priv.h, look at the set of +"foreach_eal_XXX" macros. + +Popular options include: + * **dev <pci-dev>** + White-list [as in, attempt to drive] a specific PCI device.

" in the vpp startup configuration file +/etc/vpp/startup.conf, or to include it in the command line arguments +passed by orchestration software. + +Core files from private, modified images are discouraged.
