2019-05-16init / exit function orderingDave Barach1-2/+7
The vlib init function subsystem now supports a mix of procedural and formally-specified ordering constraints. We should eliminate procedural knowledge wherever possible. The following schemes are *roughly* equivalent: static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { clib_error_t *error; ... do some stuff... if ((error = vlib_call_init_function (init_runs_next))) return error; ... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first); and static clib_error_t *init_runs_first (vlib_main_t *vm) { ... do some stuff... } VLIB_INIT_FUNCTION (init_runs_first) = { .runs_before = VLIB_INITS("init_runs_next"), }; The first form will [most likely] call "init_runs_next" on the spot. The second form means that "init_runs_first" runs before "init_runs_next," possibly much earlier in the sequence. Please DO NOT construct sets of init functions where A before B actually means A *right before* B. It's not necessary - simply combine A and B - and it leads to hugely annoying debugging exercises when trying to switch from ad-hoc procedural ordering constraints to formal ordering constraints.

2019-03-13vmbus: not having uio_hv_generic is not an errorStephen Hemminger1-7/+20
If uio_hv_generic is not loaded, then the startup code will fallback to the older failsafe/tap method of initialization in DPDK. Therefore don't put out scary message in the log. Also, reorder startup to avoid manipulating lower device until/unless uio is going to work.

2019-03-06vmbus: fix bug that breaks multiple netvsc vdevsMatthew Smith1-2/+2
VPP supports two DPDK drivers for managing netvsc devices on Azure/Hyper-V. The new netvsc PMD looks a lot like other PCI-based PMDs but it requires recently added kernel support (>=4.17). The older vdev_netvsc is an abstraction that manages the mlx4 VF and tap device underlying the netvsc interface using the failsafe PMD. Distros with older kernels (e.g. RHEL/CentOS 7.x) have to use vdev_netvsc. At startup, netvsc devices are processed and an attempt is made to initialize them for management by the netvsc PMD. If that fails, then vlib_vmbus_bind_to_uio() returns early and the device can be initialized for management by vdev_netvsc. The operation that is supposed to fail if the netvsc PMD cannot be used is registration of the netvsc device type ID with the uio_hv_generic driver. This operation is attempted exactly once so it does not fail for netvsc devices processed after the first one and they end up in a state where they cannot be initialized for use by vdev_netvsc. Only unset uio_new_id_needed if uio_hv_generic registration succeeds. Change-Id: I6be925d422b87ed24e0f4611304cc3a6b07a34fd Signed-off-by: Matthew Smith <mgsmith@netgate.com>
2019-01-17vmbus: fix strncpy related warningsStephen Hemminger1-4/+4
The code that was manipulating interface names with ifreq was causing warnings about possible truncation and non terminated strings. These are warnings only since kernel would allow a interface name > 15 characters anyway.

2018-12-19vlib: support Hyper-v/Azure VMBusStephen Hemminger1-0/+405
This patch adds support for VMBus to the VPP infrastructure. Since the only device that matters is the netvsc Poll Mode Driver in DPDK, the infrastructure is much simpler than PCI. Change-Id: Ie96c897ad9c426716c2398e4528688ce2217419b Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>
