2020-11-24buffers: add page-size configNathan Skrzypczak1-41/+63
Type: feature Add a `buffers {page-size}` parameter to specify page size for buffers. This also fixes an issue with the parsing in unformat_log2_page_size. Change-Id: I7d7b1fa0bb7febaa7509cf2c625882f07eeafaad Signed-off-by: Nathan Skrzypczak <nathan.skrzypczak@gmail.com>
2020-09-04buffers: improve cache occupancyDamjan Marion1-2/+8
Adjust buffer allocation so it always have odd number of cache lines. That should result in better distribution of cachelines among cache sets. Type: improvement Change-Id: I0d39d4cf01cff36ad6f70a700730823a96448c22 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>

2020-04-13buffers: configurable buffer fault injectorDave Barach1-0/+26
When configured at compile time via the cmake VPP_BUFFER_FAULT_INJECTOR option, the buffer allocator will appear to fail a certain fraction of the time. By default, the allocator succeeds 80% of the time. Detailed command line configuration options are available, but only when the image has been compiled with cmake option described above: vlib { buffer-alloc-success-rate [0.0 ... 1.0] buffer-alloc-success-seed <nnnn> } Modify vlib_buffer_pool_create(...) so 0 is always an invalid buffer index. Debug images: add checks for bad buffer index enqueues, and also verify that f->n_vectors doesn't accidentally map one or more instances of the frame poison pattern 0xfefefefe.

2019-10-31vlib: only dump 1st buffer in chain by defaultBenoît Ganne1-2/+13

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(...).

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.
