2020-10-06vppinfra: add heap header in front of dlmalloc spaceDamjan Marion1-1/+1
This patch adds smal header in front of dlmalloc space, and it stores some additional information about the heap. Immediate benefit of this patch is that we know the underlying page size si we can display heap page statistics / real memory usage.

2020-04-21vlib: queue_hi_thresh fix to avoid deadlockElias Rudberg1-2/+4
Adapt queue_hi_thresh value using num_threads to avoid risk of deadlock between threads which could happen for example when different NAT threads try to handoff work to each other at the same time when their frame queues are congested. This change ensures that each thread can reserve a queue entry without causing problems even in the most extreme case when all threads attempt to add to the same queue simultaneously when the queue is nearly full.

2020-02-11vlib: Skip core 0 if workers are configured.Jon Loeliger1-0/+15
According to the description in the startup.conf, the assignment of worker threads starts with the lcore following the main_lcore. A non-zero skip_cores will correctly achieve this assignment. However, prior to this patch when workers are assigned, the code picks up and assigns core 0 even thought it shouldn't. This patch determins if a non-zero number of workers are desired and if so, marks CPU unavailable for a worker assignment.

2019-07-23vlib: address vlib_error_t scaling issueDave Barach1-0/+2
Encoding the vpp node index into the vlib_error_t as a 10-bit quantity limits us to 1K graph nodes. Unfortunately, a few nodes need 6 bit per-node error codes. Only a very few nodes have so many counters. It turns out that there are about 2K total error counters in the system, which is (approximately) the maximum error heap index. The current (index,code) encoding limits the number of interfaces to around 250, since each interface has two associated graph nodes and we have about 500 "normal, interior" graph node This patch adds an error-index to node-index map, so we can store error heap indices directly in the vlib_buffer_t.

Cleaned up a few instances of side-bet elog_string hash table usage. Elog_string handles that problem itself. Add cli commands to vat to initialize, enable/disable, and save an event log. Event logging at the same time in both vpp and vat yields a pair of event logs which can be merged by the "test_elog" tool.

2019-06-04sort worker-thread init functions in advanceDave Barach1-5/+30
Otherwise, all N worker threads try to sort the list at the same time: a good way to have a bad day. This approach performs *far* better than maintaing order by adding a spin-lock. By direct measurement w/ elog + g2: 11 threads execute the per-thread init function list in 22us, vs. 50ms with a CLIB_PAUSE() enabled spin-lock.

2019-05-16init / exit function orderingDave Barach1-1/+1
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.
