2019-05-28tap: crash in multi-thread environmentMohsin Kazmi1-1/+0
In tap tx routine, virtio_interface_tx_inline, there used to be an interface spinlock to ensure packets are processed in an orderly fashion clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vif->lockp); When virtio code was introduced in 19.04, that line is changed to clib_spinlock_lock_if_init (&vring->lockp); to accommodate multi-queues. Unfortunately, althrough the spinlock exists in the vring, it was never initialized for tap, only for virtio. As a result, many nasty things can happen when running tap interface in multi-thread environment. Crash is inevitable. The fix is to initialize vring->lockp for tap and remove vif->lockp as it is not used anymore.

2019-05-24Tap: Fix the indirect buffers allocation VPP-1660Mohsin Kazmi1-1/+0
Indirect buffers are used to store indirect descriptors to xmit big packets. This patch moves the indirect buffer allocation from interface creation to device node. Now it allocates or deallocates buffers during tx for chained buffers.

2019-04-17tap: clean-up when linux will delete the tap interfaceMohsin Kazmi1-0/+1
When container is deleted which has tap interface attached, Linux also delete the tap interface leaving the VPP side of tap. This patch does a clean up job to remove that VPP side of tap interface. To produce the behavior: In VPP: create tap On linux: sudo ip netns add ns1 sudo ip link set dev tap0 netns ns1 sudo ip netns del ns1 Change-Id: Iaed1700073a9dc64e626c1d0c449f466c143f3ae Signed-off-by: Mohsin Kazmi <sykazmi@cisco.com>

2019-02-19tap gso: experimental supportAndrew Yourtchenko1-0/+1
This commit adds a "gso" parameter to existing "create tap..." CLI, and a "no-gso" parameter for the compatibility with the future, when/if defaults change. It makes use of the lowest bit of the "tap_flags" field in the API call in order to allow creation of GSO interfaces via API as well. It does the necessary syscalls to enable the GSO and checksum offload support on the kernel side and sets two flags on the interface: virtio-specific virtio_if_t.gso_enabled, and vnet_hw_interface_t.flags & VNET_HW_INTERFACE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_GSO. The first one, if enabled, triggers the marking of the GSO-encapsulated packets on ingress with VNET_BUFFER_F_GSO flag, and setting vnet_buffer2(b)->gso_size to the desired L4 payload size. VNET_HW_INTERFACE_FLAG_SUPPORTS_GSO determines the egress packet processing in interface-output for such packets: When the flag is set, they are sent out almost as usual (just taking care to set the vnet header for virtio). When the flag is not enabled (the case for most interfaces), the egress path performs the re-segmentation such that the L4 payload of the transmitted packets equals gso_size. The operations in the datapath are enabled only when there is at least one GSO-compatible interface in the system - this is done by tracking the count in interface_main.gso_interface_count. This way the impact of conditional checks for the setups that do not use GSO is minimized. "show tap" CLI shows the state of the GSO flag on the interface, and the total count of GSO-enabled interfaces (which is used to enable the GSO-related processing in the packet path). This commit lacks IPv6 extension header traversal support of any kind - the L4 payload is assumed to follow the IPv6 header. Also it performs the offloads only for TCP (TSO - TCP segmentation offload). The UDP fragmentation offload (UFO) is not part of it. For debug purposes it also adds the debug CLI: "set tap gso {<interface> | sw_if_index <sw_idx>} <enable|disable>" Change-Id: Ifd562db89adcc2208094b3d1032cee8c307aaef9 Signed-off-by: Andrew Yourtchenko <ayourtch@gmail.com>

2018-01-16tapv2: deleting tap interface may leak buffers (VPP-1124)Steven1-1/+3
Buffers may be allocated for indirect descriptors by tx thread and they are freed when tx thread is invoked in the next invocation. This is to allow the recipient (kernel) to have a chance to process them. But if the tap interface is deleted, the tx thread may not yet be called to clean up the indirect descriptors' buffers. In that case, we need to remove them without waiting for the tx thread to be called. Failure to do so may cause buffers leak when the tap interface is deleted. For the RX ring, leakage also exists for vring->buffers when the interface is removed.
