2018-09-28bond: tx performance enhancement part deuxSteven1-4/+11
- Reduce per packet cost by buffering the output packet buffer indexes in the queue and process the queue outside the packet processing loop. - Move unnecessary variable initialization outside of the while loop. - There is no need to save the old interface if tracing is not enabled. Test result for 256 bytes packet comparison. Other packet size shows similar improvement.

2018-06-05bond: send gratuitous arp when the active slave went down in active-backup modeSteven1-0/+6
- Modify the API send_ip6_na and send_ip4_garp to take sw_if_index instead of vnet_hw_interface_t and add call to build_ethernet_rewrite to support subinterface/vlan - Add code to bonding driver to send an event to bond_process when the first interface becomes active or when the active interface is down - Create a bond_process to walk the interface and the corresponding subinterfaces to send garp/ip6_na when an event is received. - Minor cleanup in bonding/node.c Note: dpdk bonding driver does not send garp/ip6_na for subinterfaces. There is no attempt to fix it here. But the infra is now done and should be easy to add the support. Change-Id: If3ecc4cd0fb3051330f7fa11ca0dab3e18557ce1 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-05-25bond: performance harvestingSteven1-7/+11
- hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use direct array indexing to quickly retrieve the slave interface. - the algorithm used by flow hash is great. But it is a bit too slow for the DP. Use l2_hash_hash() extracted from lb_hash.h which ECMP is using. It makes use of intrinsic crc32 instruction set. - shortcut modulo arithmetic when the operand is 2**x (where x up to 4) to avoid division instruction. - special case for link count == 1 in bond_tx_fn() - use clib_mem_unaligned to access data for the packet to avoid alignment error - Fix some typos for packet tracing.

2018-03-27bond: coverity woesSteven1-1/+1
coverity complains about statements in function A function A { x % vec_len (y) } because vec_len (y) is a macro and may return 0 if the pointer y is null. But coverity fails to realize the same statement vec_len (y) was already invoked and checked in the caller of function A and punt if vec_len (y) is 0. We can fix the coverity warning and shave off a few cpu cycles by caching the result of vec_len (y) and pass it around to avoid calling vec_len (y) again in multiple places.

2018-03-22bond: performance enhancementSteven1-0/+9
We were only puting one packet per frame to the output node. Change to buffer multiple packets per frame. Performance is now on top of dpdk-based bonding. Put a spinlock in the tx thread in case the rug is pulled under us. Change-Id: Ifda5af086a984a7301972cd6c8e428217f676a95 Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
2018-03-21bond: Add bonding driver and LACP protocolSteven1-0/+451
Add bonding driver to support creation of bond interface which composes of multiple slave interfaces. The slave interfaces could be physical interfaces, or just any virtual interfaces. For example, memif interfaces. The syntax to create a bond interface is create bond mode <lacp | xor | acitve-backup | broadcast | round-robin> To enslave an interface to the bond interface, enslave interface TenGigabitEthernet6/0/0 to BondEthernet0 Please see src/plugins/lacp/lacp_doc.md for more examples and additional options. LACP is a control plane protocol which manages and monitors the status of the slave interfaces. The protocol is part of 802.3ad standard. This patch implements LACPv1. LACPv2 is not supported. To enable LACP on the bond interface, specify "mode lacp" when the bond interface is created. The syntax to enslave a slave interface is the same as other bonding modes.
