2018-05-04Harmonize vec/pool_get_aligned object sizes and alignment requestsDave Barach1-0/+5
Object sizes must evenly divide alignment requests, or vice versa. Otherwise, only the first object will be aligned as requested. Three choices: add CLIB_CACHE_LINE_ALIGN_MARK(align_me) at the end of structures, manually pad to an even divisor or multiple of the alignment request, or use plain vectors/pools. static assert for enforcement.

2018-02-15Optimize GRE Tunnel and add support for ERSPAN encapJohn Lo1-62/+127
Change GRE tunnel to use the interface type where the same encap node is used as output node for all GRE tunnels, instead of having dedicated output and tx node for each tunnel. This allows for more efficient tunnel creation and deletion at scale tested at 1000's of GRE tunnels. Add support for ERSPAN encap as another tunnel type, in addition to the existing L3 and TEB types. The GRE ERSPAN encap supported is type 2 thus GRE encap need to include sequence number and GRE- ERSPAN tunnel can be created with user secified ERSPAN session ID. The GRE tunnel lookup hash key is updated to inclue tunnel type and session ID, in addition to SIP/DIP and FIB index. Thus, GRE-ERSPAN tunnel can be created, with the appropriate session ID, to be used as output interface for SPAN config to send mirrored packets. Change interface naming so that all GRE tunnels, irrespective of tunnel type, uses "greN" where N is the instance number. Removed interface reuse on tunnel creation and deletion to enable unfied tunnel interface name. Add support of user specified instance on GRE tunnel creation. Thus, N in the "greN" interface name can optionally be specified by user via CLI/API. Optimize GRE tunnel encap DPO stacking to bypass load-balance DPO node since packet output on GRE tunnel always belong to the same flow after 5-tupple hash.

2017-12-16GRE tunnel key includes the FIB tableNeale Ranns1-2/+102
- GRE tunnels with the same src,dst addresses are not the same tunnel - Two data-plane improvements: - the cached key was never updated and so useless - no need to dereference the tunnel's HW interface to get the sw_if_index Change-Id: I2f2ea6e08c759a810b753cec22c497e921a2ca01 Signed-off-by: Neale Ranns <nranns@cisco.com>

2017-10-24Add extern to *_main global variable declarations in header files.Dave Wallace1-1/+1
- Global variables declared in header files without the use of the 'extern' keword will result in multiple instances of the variable to be created by the compiler -- one for each different source file in which the the header file is included. This results in wasted memory allocated in the BSS segments as well as potentially introducing bugs in the application.

2017-04-05GRE over IPv6Ciara Loftus1-8/+22
Refactors the GRE node to work with both IPv4 and IPv6 transports. Note that this changes the binary configuration API to support both address families; each address uses the same memory for either address type and a flag to indicate which is in use. The CLI and VAT syntax remains unchanged; the code detects whether an IPv4 or an IPv6 address was given. Configuration examples: IPv4 CLI: create gre tunnel src 192.168.1.1 dst 192.168.1.2 IPv6 CLI: create gre tunnel src 2620:124:9000::1 dst 2620:124:9000::2 IPv4 VAT: gre_add_del_tunnel src 192.168.1.1 dst 192.168.1.2 IPv6 VAT: gre_add_del_tunnel src 2620:124:9000::1 dst 2620:124:9000::2 Change-Id: Ica8ee775dc101047fb8cd41617ddc8fafc2741b0 Signed-off-by: Ciara Loftus <ciara.loftus@intel.com>
