* dpdk: Improve link status detectionAaron Rossetto2020-09-031-16/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change improves the DPDK link status detection algorithm in the following ways: - The status of the links are checked at an interval of 250 ms. If all links report as being up, the driver proceeds. - If any of the DPDK links has not reported as being up by the end of the link status detection timeout (1000 ms by default), the algorithm throws a runtime error rather than proceeds with one or more down links. - Users may override the default link status detection timeout by passing dpdk_link_timeout=N, where N is the desired timeout in milliseconds, either via device arguments or in the UHD configuration file.
* dpdk: clean up destruction order of dpdk context membersettus2020-08-141-4/+4
| | | | | | | Clear the io service map and the dpdk port map in the dpdk context destructor to force them to destruct before the dpdk context. Signed-off-by: ettus <matt.prost@ni.com>
* cmake: Find DPDK via pkg-config, if availableAlex Williams2020-01-221-1/+1
| | | | | | Debian uses pkg-config without the libdpdk.so linker script. Use the pkg-config file to grab the installed libraries and determine what to link to.

* dpdk: Add new DPDK stack to integrate with I/O servicesAlex Williams2019-12-203-129/+1081
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | docs: Update DPDK docs with new parameters: Parameter names have had their hyphens changed to underscores, and the I/O CPU argument is now named after the lcores and reflects the naming used by DPDK. transport: Add new udp_dpdk_link, based atop the new APIs: This link is tightly coupled with the DPDK I/O service. The link class carries all the address information to communicate with the other host, and it can send packets directly through the DPDK NIC ports. However, for receiving packets, the I/O service must pull the packets from the DMA queue and attach them to the appropriate link object. The link object merely formats the frame_buff object underneath, which is embedded in the rte_mbuf container. For get_recv_buff, the link will pull buffers only from its internal queue (the one filled by the I/O service). transport: Add DPDK-specific I/O service: The I/O service is split into two parts, the user threads and the I/O worker threads. The user threads submit requests through various appropriate queues, and the I/O threads perform all the I/O on their behalf. This includes routing UDP packets to the correct receiver and getting the MAC address of a destination (by performing the ARP request and handling the ARP replies). The DPDK context stores I/O services. The context spawns all I/O services on init(), and I/O services can be fetched from the dpdk_ctx object by using a port ID. I/O service clients: The clients have two lockless ring buffers. One is to get a buffer from the I/O service; the other is to release a buffer back to the I/O service. Threads sleeping on buffer I/O are kept in a separate list from the service queue and are processed in the course of doing RX or TX. The list nodes are embedded in the dpdk_io_if, and the head of the list is on the dpdk_io_service. The I/O service will transfer the embedded wait_req to the list if it cannot acquire the mutex to complete the condition for waking.

* lib,tests: Remove old DPDK files from buildAlex Williams2019-11-261-10/+0
| | | | The DPDK files are left behind as a reference, for now.
* transport: Add new base for DPDK links, based on 18.11Alex Williams2019-11-262-0/+637
| | | | | | | | | | | | dpdk_ctx represents the central context and manager of all memory and threads allocated via the DPDK EAL. In this commit, it parses the user's arguments, configures all the ports, and brings them up. dpdk_port represents each DPDK NIC port's configuration, and it manages the allocation of individual queues and their flow rules. It also would provide access to an ARP table and functions for handling ARP requests and responses. The flow rules and ARP functions are not yet implemented.
* uhd-dpdk: Wait for links to come up before poking MPMAlex Williams2019-04-021-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | Occasionally, MPM would check its links before the kernel would report link up, and it would then shave those ports off the CHDR link list prematurely. This commit adds a second of wait to allow the kernel time to respond. It also includes some additional reporting of link status, since Intel PMDs may report a misleading initial state upon bring-up.
* uhd: mpm: update all license header w/ "-or-later"Brent Stapleton2019-03-081-1/+1
| | | | Updating all SPDX license identifiers to include "-or-later"
* uhd-dpdk: Cover all paths to request TX offloadsAlex Williams2019-01-253-11/+61
| | | | | Some NICs were not enabling TX IP checksum offloads. This fixes that issue.
* uhd-dpdk: Delete useless test folderAlex Williams2019-01-252-356/+0
| | | | This was old code that wouldn't compile or run anymore.
* mpmd,transport,prefs: Add xport_mgr for dpdk_zero_copyAlex Williams2019-01-256-51/+108
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add configuration sections to the UHD config file for NIC entries. Keys are based on MAC addresses, and the entries beneath the section describe which CPU and I/O thread to use for the NIC and its IPv4 address. Make ring sizes configurable for uhd-dpdk. Ring size is now an argument for packet buffers. Note that the maximum number of available buffers is still determined at init! Add ability to receive broadcasts to uhd-dpdk. This is controllable by a boolean in the sockarg during socket creation. dpdk_zero_copy will filter broadcast packets out. Add dpdk_simple transport (to mirror udp_simple). This transport allows receiving from broadcast addresses, but it only permits one outstanding buffer at a time. Fix IP checksum handling in UHD-DPDK. TX checksums were not being calculated in the NIC, and in RX, the check for IP checksums allowed values of zero (reported as none). Now packets with bad IP checksums will be dropped.

* transport: Add blocking recv calls to uhd-dpdkAlex Williams2019-01-1510-218/+690
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds an internal wait queue API to uhd-dpdk. Socket configuration requests had their blocking calls re-implemented on top of this API, and it is also used to service requests to wait on RX packets (w/ timeout). The wait API involves a multi-producer, single-consumer queue per I/O thread (waiter_ring), with a condition variable used for sleeping. The data structure is shared between user thread and I/O thread, and because timeouts make resource release time non-deterministic, we use reference counting on the shared resource. One reference is generated by the user thread and passed to the I/O thread to consume. A user thread that still needs the data after waking must get() another reference, to postpone the destruction of the resource until it is done. Timeouts are based on CLOCK_MONOTONIC. For recv, a timeout of 0 indicates blocking indefinitely, and a negative timeout indicates no timeout is desired. Also drop timeout for closing sockets in uhd-dpdk. The timeout would allow a user thread to pre-empt the I/O thread's cleanup process. The user thread would free data structures the I/O thread still needed to function. Since this timeout is superfluous anyway, let's just get rid of it. Also add some more input checking and error reporting.
* uhd-dpdk: Add ARP responder, set MTU, and clean up APIAlex Williams2019-01-154-5/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | Set MTU of Ethernet ports: Some NICs (like the Mellanox ones) require this to work. Add ARP responder to uhd-dpdk. Clean up pending ARP request list when done: Threads waiting for an ARP request to complete would be woken up when the request completed, but they wouldn't get removed from the list of pending requests. This fixes the issue.
* uhd-dpdk: Add DPDK-based sockets-like libraryAlex Williams2018-08-2911-0/+2248
This library makes available a userspace network stack with a socket-like interface for applications (except the sockets pass around pointers to buffers and use the buffers directly--It's sockets + a put/get for buffer management). Supported services are ARP and UDP. Destinations can be unicast or broadcast. Multicast is not currently supported. The implementation has two driver layers. The upper layer runs within the caller's context. The caller will make requests through lockless ring buffers (including socket creation and packet transmission), and the lower layer will implement the requests and provide a response. Currently, the lower layer runs in a separate I/O thread, and the caller will block until it receives a response. The I/O thread's main body is in src/uhd_dpdk_driver.c. You'll find that all I/O thread functions are prefixed by an underscore, and user thread functions do not. src/uhd_dpdk.c is used to initialize uhd-dpdk and bring up the network interfaces. src/uhd_dpdk_fops.c and src/uhd_dpdk_udp.c are for network services. The test is a benchmark of a flow control loop using a certain made-up protocol with credits and sequence number tracking.
