* rfnoc: Clarify usage of MTU vs. max payload size, remove DEFAULT_SPPMartin Braun2021-12-021-14/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These two values where being mixed up in the code. To summarize: - The MTU is the max CHDR packet size, including header & timestamp. - The max payload is the total number of bytes regular payload plus metadata that can be fit into into a CHDR packet. It is strictly smaller than the MTU. For example, for 64-bit CHDR widths, if a timestamp is desired, the max payload is 16 bytes smaller than the MTU. The other issue was that we were using a magic constant (DEFAULT_SPP) which was causing conflicts with MTUs and max payloads. This constant was harmful in multiple ways: - The explanatory comment was incorrect (it stated it would cap packets to 1500 bytes, which it didn't) - It imposed random, hardcoded values that interfered with an 'spp discovery', i.e., the ability to derive a good spp value from MTUs - The current value capped packet sizes to 8000 bytes CHDR packets, even when we wanted to use bigger ones This patch changes the following: - noc_block_base now has improved docs for MTU, and additional APIs (get_max_payload_size(), get_chdr_hdr_len()) which return the current payload size given MTU and CHDR width, and the CHDR header length. - The internally used graph nodes for TX and RX streamers also get equipped with the same new two API calls. - The radio, siggen, and replay block all where doing different calculations for their spp/ipp values. Now, they all use the max payload value to calculate spp/ipp. Unit tests where adapted accordingly. Usage of DEFAULT_SPP was removed. - The replay block used a hardcoded 16 bytes for header lengths, which was replaced by get_chdr_hdr_len() - The TX and RX streamers where discarding the MTU value and using the max payload size as the MTU, which then propagated throughout the graph. Now, both values are stored and can be used where appropriate.
* rfnoc: replay block: Disable prop and action propagationMartin Braun2021-12-011-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The replay block is more like the radio block than like a FIFO. In particular, consider this flow graph: Replay -> DDC -> Replay Imagine you're using the replay block to test the DDC block with prerecorded data. If we treated the Replay Block like a FIFO, then we'd have a loop in the graph (which is already wrong). If we used the DDC to resample, then the input- and output sample rate of the Replay mismatch, which is a legal way to use the Replay block, but not possible if we treat the graph like a loop.

* rfnoc: replay: Update packet size on mtu updateSteven Koo2020-09-031-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Replay block would previously fail output on low mtu links because it was creating packets based on the default contruction mtu of 8192. This change will update the packet size when mtu gets updated. This also removes a warning for large packet sizes because the replay block uses a maximum packet size property. The block should be free to coerce down based on mtu limitations. Signed-off-by: Steven Koo <steven.koo@ni.com>
