2018-07-18Add config option to use dlmalloc instead of mheapDave Barach1-11/+21
Configure w/ --enable-dlmalloc, see .../build-data/platforms/vpp.mk src/vppinfra/dlmalloc.[ch] are slightly modified versions of the well-known Doug Lea malloc. Main advantage: dlmalloc mspaces have no inherent size limit. Change-Id: I19b3f43f3c65bcfb82c1a265a97922d01912446e Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>

2018-06-13Stat segment / client: show run" works nowDave Barach1-0/+20
Seems to have minimal-to-zero performance consequences. Data appears accurate: result match the debug CLI output. Checked at low rates, 27 MPPS sprayed across two worker threads. Change-Id: I09ede5150b88a91547feeee448a2854997613004 Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dave@barachs.net>
2018-06-03dpdk: improve buffer alloc perfomanceDamjan Marion1-1/+0
This is ~50% improvement in buffer alloc performance. For a 256 buffer allocation, it was ~10 clocks/buffer, now is < 5 clocks. Change-Id: I97590e240a79a42bcab5eb26587fc2d11e6eb163 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>

2018-03-14vlib: internal buffer manager reworkDamjan Marion1-8/+4
- buffer_main is no longer part of vlib_main_t - pool of free lists is still part of vlib_main_t - mheap is not used anymore for buffer allocation - simple bitmap bassed buffer alloc scheme is introduced Change-Id: I3e1e6d00e2c8122293ed0a741245eb841315a1ff Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
2017-12-15VPP-1102: fix dangling references in RPC handlingDave Barach1-0/+3
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.

2017-06-09Implement sack based tcp loss recovery (RFC 6675)Florin Coras1-1/+1
- refactor existing congestion control code (RFC 6582/5681). Handling of ack feedback now consists of: ack parsing, cc event detection, event handling, congestion control update - extend sack scoreboard to support sack based retransmissions - basic implementation of Eifel detection algorithm (RFC 3522) for detecting spurious retransmissions - actually initialize the per-thread frame freelist hash tables - increase worker stack size to 2mb - fix session queue node out-of-buffer handling - ensure that the local buffer cache vec_len matches reality - avoid 2x spurious event requeues when short of buffers - count out-of-buffer events - make the builtin server thread-safe - fix bihash template threading issue: need to paint -1 across uninitialized working_copy_length vector elements (via rebase from master) Change-Id: I646cb9f1add9a67d08f4a87badbcb117980ebfc4 Signed-off-by: Florin Coras <fcoras@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Barach <dbarach@cisco.com>

2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-47/+22
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.
