2018-05-30bond: performance harvesting [VPP-1298]Steven1-7/+7
- hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use direct array indexing to quickly retrieve the slave interface. - the algorithm used by flow hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use l2_hash_hash() extracted from lb_hash.h which ECMP is using. It makes use of intrinsic crc32 instruction set. - shortcut modulo arithmetic when the operand is 2**x (where x up to 4) to avoid division instruction. - special case for link count == 1 in bond_tx_fn() - use clib_mem_unaligned to access data for the packet to avoid alignment error - Fix some typos for packet tracing.

2018-04-24lacp: deleting the bond subinterface may cause lacp to lose the partner ↵Steven2-15/+8
[VPP-1251] Problem: When the bond subinterface is removed, it was observed that we lost the lacp partner. Show hardware shows rx counter goes up, but show interface does not for the slave interfaces. Cause: We reset the interface promiscuous mode when the bond subinterface is deleted. This causes dpdk not to accept any packet. Leave the interface in promiscuous mode fixes the problem. Other fixes: There are few places we use hw_if_index as if they are sw_if_index. But they don't necessarily have the same value. As soon as a subinterface is created, they start to diverge. The fix is to use the correct API for the hw_if_index and sw_if_index. Change-Id: I1e6b8bca0a4aae396d217a141271cbf968500c91 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-04-23lacp: partner may time us out if fast-rate is configured [VPP-1247]Steven5-8/+14
We should be sending LACP PDU every second if the partner has LACP_TIMEOUT flag set which means it will time us out in 3 seconds. Add interface name for lacp trace Change-Id: If7d816c062d03e80cc0dd7d10dba0b76ace0664a Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>

2018-03-30lacp: faster convergence for slow-rate config optionSteven6-18/+29
Do fast-rate if we are not yet synchronized with the partner. Stop sending LACP updates as a flash in the worker thread. Just expire the timer and let the lacp_process handle sending LACP PDU. Change-Id: I8b36fe74e752e7f45bd4a8d70512c0341cc197a1 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-03-21bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocolSteven22-0/+3943
Add bonding driver to support creation of bond interface which composes of multiple slave interfaces. The slave interfaces could be physical interfaces, or just any virtual interfaces. For example, memif interfaces. The syntax to create a bond interface is create bond mode <lacp | xor | acitve-backup | broadcast | round-robin> To enslave an interface to the bond interface, enslave interface TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0 to BondEthernet0 Please see src/plugins/lacp/lacp_doc.md for more examples and additional options. LACP is a control plane protocol which manages and monitors the status of the slave interfaces. The protocol is part of 802.3ad standard. This patch implements LACPv1. LACPv2 is not supported. To enable LACP on the bond interface, specify "mode lacp" when the bond interface is created. The syntax to enslave a slave interface is the same as other bonding modes.
