2018-01-31vlib: allocating buffers on thread-x and freeing them on thread-y causesSteven1-2/+1
a crash on debug image (VPP-1151) In debug image, there is extra code to validate the buffer when it is freed. It uses the hash table to lookup the buffer index with spinlock to prevent contention. However, there is one spinlock for each worker thread. So allocating the buffer on thread-x and freeing the same buffer on thread-y causes the validation to fail on thread-y. The fix is to have only one spinlock, stored in vlib_global_main.

2017-11-14l2-flood: fix restore vnet buffer's flags in the replication routineSteve Shin1-0/+5
When BUM packets are flooded in the l2 domain, some data should be kept and restored for recycling in the replication routine. If l2 bridge domain has multiple interfaces mixed with normal and vlan tagged, the vlan tag value of the vnet buffer can be changed while flooding the replicated packets. The change is made to store and restore the original vlan tag in the replication logic. Change-Id: I399cf54cd2e74cb44a2be42241bdc4fba85032c5 Signed-off-by: Steve Shin <jonshin@cisco.com>
2017-07-14Introduce l{2,3,4}_hdr_offset fields in the buffer metadataDamjan Marion1-3/+3
To save space in the first cacheline following is changed: - total_length_not_including_first_buffer moved to the 2nd cacheline. This field is used only when VLIB_BUFFER_TOTAL_LENGTH_VALID and VLIB_BUFFER_NEXT_PRESENT are both set. - free_list_index is now stored in 4bits inside flags, which allows up to 16 free lists. In case we need more we can store index in the 2nd cachelin Change-Id: Ic8521350819391af470d31d3fa1013e67ecb7681 Signed-off-by: Damjan Marion <damarion@cisco.com>
2017-07-10vlib: store buffer memory information in the buffer_mainDamjan Marion1-1/+1
Currently, buffer index is calculated as a offset to the physmem region shifted by log2_cacheline size. When DPDK is used we "hack" physmem data with information taken from dpdk mempool. This makes physmem code not usable with DPDK. This change makes buffer memory start and size independent of physmem basically allowing physmem to be used when DPDK plugin is loaded.

2017-04-06Use thread local storage for thread indexDamjan Marion1-10/+10
This patch deprecates stack-based thread identification, Also removes requirement that thread stacks are adjacent. Finally, possibly annoying for some folks, it renames all occurences of cpu_index and cpu_number with thread index. Using word "cpu" is misleading here as thread can be migrated ti different CPU, and also it is not related to linux cpu index.
