2020-06-16virtio: add vhost sw_if_index filter for sw_interface_vhost_user_dumpSteven Luong1-1/+1
The filter sw_if_index was in the API sw_interface_vhost_user_dump. But it was never implemented in the backend. This patch is to add the backend, vat, and custom dump support for the filter.

2020-04-27virtio: support virtio 1.1 packed ring in vhostSteven Luong1-1/+5
virtio 1.1 defines a number of new features. Packed ring is among the most notable and important one. It combines used, available, and descripptor rings into one. This patch provides experimental support for packed ring. To avoid regression, when packed ring is configured for the interface, it is branched to a separate RX and TX driver. Non packed ring should continue to perform as it was before. Packed ring is tested using qemu4.2 and ubuntu focal fossa (kernel 5.4.0-12) on the guess VM which supports packed ring. To configure VPP with packed ring, just add the optional keyword "packed" when creating the vhost interface. To bring up the guest VM with packed ring, add "packed=on" in the qemu launch command. To facilitate troubleshooting, also added "verbose" option in show vhost desc CLI to include displaying the indirect descriptors. Known qemu reconnect issue - If VPP is restarted, guest VMs also need to be restarted. The problem is kernel virtio-net-pci keeps track of the previous available and used indices. For virtio 1.0, these indices are in shared memory and qemu can easily copy them to pass to the backend for reconnect. For virio 1.1, these indices are no longer in shared memory. Qemu needs a new mechanism to retrieve them and it is not currently implemented. So when the protocol reconnects, qemu does not have the correct available and used indices to pass to the backend. As a result, after the reconnect, virtio-net-pci is reading the TX ring from the wrong position in the ring, not the same position which the backend is writing. Similar problem exists also in the RX.

2019-07-31devices interface tests: vhosst GSO supportSteven Luong1-1/+5
Add gso option in create vhost interface to support gso and checksum offload. Tested with the following startup options in qemu: csum=on,gso=on,guest_csum=on,guest_tso4=on,guest_tso6=on,guest_ufo=on, host_tso4=on,host_tso6=on,host_ufo=on Type: feature Change-Id: I9ba1ee33677a694c4a0dfe66e745b098995902b8 Signed-off-by: Steven Luong <sluong@cisco.com>

2018-01-23VPPAPIGEN: vppapigen replacement in Python PLY.Ole Troan1-1/+1
This is a version of the VPP API generator in Python PLY. It supports the existing language, and has a plugin architecture for generators. Currently C and JSON are supported. Changes: - vl_api_version to option version = "major.minor.patch" - enum support - Added error checking and reporting - import support (removed the C pre-processor) - services (tying request/reply together) Version: option version = "1.0.0"; Enum: enum colours { RED, BLUE = 50, }; define foo { vl_api_colours_t colours; }; Services: service { rpc foo returns foo_reply; rpc foo_dump returns stream foo_details; rpc want_stats returns want_stats_reply events ip4_counters, ip6_counters; }; Future planned features: - unions - bool, text - array support (including length) - proto3 output plugin - Refactor C/C++ generator as a plugin - Refactor Java generator as a plugin Change-Id: Ifa289966c790e1b1a8e2938a91e69331e3a58bdf Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <ot@cisco.com>

2017-08-28vhost: Remove operation mode in the APISteven1-6/+0
create/delete/modify vhost_user APIs no longer support the operation mode (polling/interrupt/adaptive). They are now done via the generic interface. Change-Id: I9e9bd503f9b56c953ecd2b271b3e2007da20c72a Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>

2017-03-08vhost: binary API changes for interrupt modeSteven1-0/+6
Add operation_mode for create_vhost_user_if, modify_vhost_user_if, and sw_interface_vhost_user_details. Only polling mode is supported for these APIs. Other mode is rejected and gets VNET_API_ERROR_UNIMPLEMENTED error. Change-Id: I0596f4e2c087aa2b6f78eb3e0b63910b1859641e Signed-off-by: Steven <sluong@cisco.com>
