2019-01-31assert on double-free in debug buildKlement Sekera1-4/+2
The assert allows easier debugging in gdb by aborting instead of exiting cleanly. Also a core is generated so a stack trace can be obtained. Change-Id: I2d05488c4522f4d4570fdfe0283130eb4c853d2a Signed-off-by: Klement Sekera <ksekera@cisco.com>
2019-01-31buffers: reinitialize metadata, add additional validationDamjan Marion1-0/+1
- DPDK overwrites metadata as part of rte_pktmbuf_init(...) so we need reinitialize it - additional checks added to ensure ref_count is never < 1 Change-Id: Ida336f81c4723e8f2e0ad4a70cb7b1ecfff978a0 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>

2019-01-07Handle buffer alloc failure in vlib_buffer_add_dataDave Barach1-6/+7
It's not OK to crash due to a transient buffer allocation failure. Return 1 if the requested operation failed, otherwise 0. Buffer index parameter change to a value-result, so the caller can differentiate between partial and complete allocation failure: callers which request an initial allocation (inbound bi = ~0) need to check the (out) value to decide whether or not to call vlib_buffer_free(...).

fixes a problem seen when dhcp proxy uses vlib_buffer_chain_linearize function which tries to vlib_buffer_alloc zero buffers - which succeeds if the buffers vector is initialized but otherwise crashes when trying to update the _vec_len in vlib_buffer_alloc_from_free_list solved by initializing the free_list buffers vec Change-Id: I1186d7aac05e54864d72f3f144e1bef8064f8efa Signed-off-by: Eyal Bari <ebari@cisco.com>

2018-03-16Fix a long-latent bi=0 bug in vlib_buffer_add_dataDave Barach1-1/+1
Change vlib_buffer_add_data() so it interprets ~0 to mean please allocate a new buffer, instead of 0. Fixed a couple of calls to pass ~0 instead of 0. Zero has always been a valid buffer index, we never happened to actually use it until recent buffer allocator changes. The presenting symptom: ASSERT failure when running "make TEST=test_mpls test-debug" Change-Id: Ic909913c1d464b3434d6d47e0c58f978806854d5 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>

2018-01-31vlib: allocating buffers on thread-x and freeing them on thread-y causesSteven1-6/+5
a crash on debug image (VPP-1151) In debug image, there is extra code to validate the buffer when it is freed. It uses the hash table to lookup the buffer index with spinlock to prevent contention. However, there is one spinlock for each worker thread. So allocating the buffer on thread-x and freeing the same buffer on thread-y causes the validation to fail on thread-y. The fix is to have only one spinlock, stored in vlib_global_main.

2017-07-14Introduce l{2,3,4}_hdr_offset fields in the buffer metadataDamjan Marion1-6/+10
To save space in the first cacheline following is changed: - total_length_not_including_first_buffer moved to the 2nd cacheline. This field is used only when VLIB_BUFFER_TOTAL_LENGTH_VALID and VLIB_BUFFER_NEXT_PRESENT are both set. - free_list_index is now stored in 4bits inside flags, which allows up to 16 free lists. In case we need more we can store index in the 2nd cachelin Change-Id: Ic8521350819391af470d31d3fa1013e67ecb7681 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
2017-07-10vlib: store buffer memory information in the buffer_mainDamjan Marion1-24/+33
Currently, buffer index is calculated as a offset to the physmem region shifted by log2_cacheline size. When DPDK is used we "hack" physmem data with information taken from dpdk mempool. This makes physmem code not usable with DPDK. This change makes buffer memory start and size independent of physmem basically allowing physmem to be used when DPDK plugin is loaded.

2017-07-05Buffer name inconsistently used a cstring/vec (VPP-901)Chris Luke1-3/+3
Spotted in the output of CLI command "show buffers", the name field sometimes had trailing garbage, the hall sign of a string not being terminated. In this case it was being inconsistently used as a cstring or a vec. - CLI printf needs %v to print the vec srring - vlib_buffer_create_free_list_helper tried to use clib_mem_is_heap_object() to detect a vec object, wheras it should use clib_mem_is_vec() Change-Id: Ib8b242a0c5a18924b8af7e8e1432784eebcf572c Signed-off-by: Chris Luke <chrisy@flirble.org>
2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-3/+3
This patch deprecates stack-based thread identification, Also removes requirement that thread stacks are adjacent. Finally, possibly annoying for some folks, it renames all occurences of cpu_index and cpu_number with thread index. Using word "cpu" is misleading here as thread can be migrated ti different CPU, and also it is not related to linux cpu index.
