It turns out that for scalar sizes 0..24, frames are always the same size. That range includes all current use-cases - and then some - so get rid of the hash table. Old code preserved under #ifdef VLIB_SUPPORTS_ARBITRARY_SCALAR_SIZES. Change-Id: Ic005c7143c9639f77d1a0fadd2fc0e90dccb68c1 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dbarach@cisco.com>

2019-01-24perfmon plugin: 2-way parallel stat collectionDave Barach1-38/+48
As a FUD reduction measure, this patch implements 2-way parallel counter collection. Synthetic stat component counter pairs run at the same time. Running two counters (of any kind) at the same time naturally reduces the aggregate time required by an approximate factor-of-2, depending on whether an even or odd number of stats have been requested. I don't completely buy the argument that computing synthetic stats such as instructions-per-clock will be inaccurate if component counter values are collected sequentially. Given uniform traffic pattern, it must make no difference. As the collection interval increases, the difference between serial and parallel component counter collection will approach zero, see also the Central Limit theorem.

The buffer index allows downstream consumers of these data to easily filter/track single packets as they traverse the forwarding graph. FWIW, the 32-bit buffer index is stored in big endian format. As of this writing, major version = 1, minor version = 0. Nstrings will be either 4 or 5. Here is the current set of protocol hints: typedef enum { VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_NONE = 0, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_ETHERNET, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP4, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_TCP, VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_UDP, VLIB_NODE_N_PROTO_HINTS, } vlib_node_proto_hint_t; Example: VLIB_NODE_PROTO_HINT_IP6 means that the first octet of packet data SHOULD be 0x60, and should begin an ipv6 packet header.

2017-12-15VPP-1102: fix dangling references in RPC handlingDave Barach1-0/+13
Queue RPC calls and send them from the main dispatch loop. As things stood, if the vpp main input queue filled, worker threads could enter a barrier-sync spin-wait in the middle of processing a frame. If thread 0 decided to recreate worker thread data structures, the worker thread(s) could easily crash. Legislate the problem out of existence by enqueueing RPC messages only from the main dispatch loop. At that point, doing a barrier-sync wait is perfectly OK.

2017-07-10vlib: store buffer memory information in the buffer_mainDamjan Marion1-2/+18
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.

2017-06-07VPP-873: fix vector expansion bug in dispatch_pending_nodeDave Barach1-13/+27
The main interior graph-node dispatch loop had a longstanding dangling vector element reference: for (i = 0; i < _vec_len (nm->pending_frames); i++) cpu_time_now = dispatch_pending_node (vm, nm->pending_frames + i, cpu_time_now); Passing a pointer to a vector element (nm->pending_frames + i) has considerable comedic potential if there's any chance that the vector could expand. dispatch_pending_node() calls dispatch_node(), and indirectly any interior graph node dispatch function. If that node happens to expand nm->pending_frames by filling in a new frame, nm->pending_frames can expand. After calling the node dispatch function, dispatch_node() does the following: nf = vec_elt_at_index (nm->next_frames, p->next_frame_index); If nm->pending_frames expands during dispatch function execution, p is a dangling reference to freed memory. By luck, the TCP stack managed to allocate a fresh frame which included "old-p," which caused p->next_frame_index to be filled with the new-frame poison pattern 0xfefefefe. This has been broken from day 1, summer 2007, first use of the third-generation vector processing library.

2017-05-22vhost: migrate to use device infra for worker thread assignment, rx-mode.Steven1-10/+1
and add adaptive mode support to receive queue - Migrate vhost to use device infra which does the interface/queue to worker thread assignment. - Retire vhost thread CLI and corresponding code which assigns interface/queue to worker thread. set interface placement should be used instead to customize the interface/queue to worker thread assignment. - Retire vhost interrupt/polling option when creating vhost-user interface. Instead, set interface rx-mode should be used. - Add code in vnet_device_input_unassign_thread to change the node state to interrupt if the last polling interface has left the worker thread for the device of the corresponding interface/queue. - Add adaptive mode support. The node state is set to interrupt initially. When the scheduler detects a burst of traffic, it switches the input node to polling. Then we inform the device that we don't need interrupt notification. When the traffic subsides, the scheduler switches the input node back to interrupt. Then we immediately tell the driver that we want interrupt notification again. - Remove some duplicate code in vlib/main.c Change-Id: Id19bb1b9e50e6521c6464f470f5825c26924d3a8 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>

This patch deprecates stack-based thread identification, Also removes requirement that thread stacks are adjacent.

Using word "cpu" is misleading here as thread can be migrated ti different CPU, and also it is not related to linux cpu index.
