2023-05-16ip_session_redirect: add session redirect pluginBenoît Ganne2-0/+2
This feature enables the use of the classifier and ip-in-out-acl nodes to redirect matching sessions via arbitrary fib paths instead of relying on additional VRFs. Type: feature Change-Id: Ia59d35481c2555aec96c806b62bf29671abb295a Signed-off-by: Benoît Ganne <bganne@cisco.com>

2022-08-25vlib: introduce DMA infrastructureMarvin Liu1-0/+3
This patch introduces DMA infrastructure into vlib. This is well known that large amount of memory movements will drain core resource. Nowadays more and more hardware accelerators were designed out for freeing core from this burden. Meanwhile some restrictions still remained when utilizing hardware accelerators, e.g. cross numa throughput will have a significant drop compared to same node. Normally the number of hardware accelerator instances will less than cores number, not to mention that applications number will even beyond the number of cores. Some hardware may support share virtual address with cores, while others are not. Here we introduce new DMA infrastructure which can fulfill the requirements of vpp applications like session and memif and in the meantime dealing with hardware limitations. Here is some design backgrounds: Backend is the abstract of resource which allocated from DMA device and can do some basic operations like configuration, DMA copy and result query. Config is the abstract of application DMA requirement. Application need to request an unique config index from DMA infrastructure. This unique config index is associated with backend resource. Two options cpu fallback and barrier before last can be specified in config. DMA transfer will be performed by CPU when backend is busy if cpu fallback option is enabled. DMA transfer callback will be in order if barrier before last option is enabled. We constructs all the stuffs that DMA transfer request needed into DMA batch. It contains the pattern of DMA descriptors and function pointers for submission and callback. One DMA transfer request need multiple times batch update and one time batch submission. DMA backends will assigned to config's workers threads equally. Lock will be used for thread-safety if same backends assigned to multiple threads. Backend node will check all the pending requests in worker thread and do callback with the pointer of DMA batch if transfer completed. Application can utilize cookie in DMA batch for selves usage.

2022-05-24docs: make docs build incrementalNathan Skrzypczak4-51/+68
This patch makes the `make docs` directive incremental avoiding re-running the siphon when the source hasn't changed, and leveraging sphinx internal cache. It adds a `make rebuild-docs` directive for cases where this caching logic might break, e.g. in CI. The virtualenv doesn't also get recreated on each build, which might be enough when writing docs, provided automated process leverage its rebuild counterpart.

2022-05-10tests: replace pycodestyle with blackKlement Sekera11-222/+304
Drop pycodestyle for code style checking in favor of black. Black is much faster, stable PEP8 compliant code style checker offering also automatic formatting. It aims to be very stable and produce smallest diffs. It's used by many small and big projects. Running checkstyle with black takes a few seconds with a terse output. Thus, test-checkstyle-diff is no longer necessary. Expand scope of checkstyle to all python files in the repo, replacing test-checkstyle with checkstyle-python. Also, fixstyle-python is now available for automatic style formatting. Note: python virtualenv has been consolidated in test/Makefile, test/requirements*.txt which will eventually be moved to a central location. This is required to simply the automated generation of docker executor images in the CI.

2021-05-01vlib: refactor trajectory trace debug featureBenoît Ganne1-4/+1
trajectory trace has been broken for a while because we used to save the buffer trajectory in a vector pointed to in opaque2. This does not work well when opaque2 is copied (eg. because of a clone) as 2 buffers end up sharing the same vector. This dedicates a full cacheline in the buffer metadata instead when trajectory is compiled in. No dynamic allocation, no sharing, no tears.
