Thank you. Have you tested many filter mapping to the same classid? cheers, jamal

Classid is here to identify qdisc instance. However, you use it for hw tclass identification. This is mixing of apples and oranges. Why? Please don't try to abuse things!

This isn't an abuse. This is reproducing in hardware what is already the behavior for software. Isn't that how offloads are supposed to work? This is exactly how prio currently handles this. We are essentially doing the exact same thing in the hardware where we are choosing a queueing group based on the class ID. You could setup a prio qdisc. If you are offloading a qdisc behavior into hardware how are you supposed to emulate the behavior if you aren't allowing the offload to use the same mechanism? - Alex

I believe that the correct way to solve is to introduce SETTCLASS termination action (similar to TRAP, GOTO_CHAIN, etc), which would allow user to instruct the destination tclass and driver can offload it.

Jiri I really don't see what the problem is. As long as the driver does the right thing when changes are made to the qdisc, it doesn't really matter what "key" they use to refer to it. It could have just as easily used the qdisc pointer and then internally use some IDR allocated ID to refer to it in the driver and hardware. But that's such a waste, we have a unique handle already so why can't the driver just use that?

Well if I see classid, I expect it should refer to qdisc instance. So far, this has been always a case. But for some drivers, this would mean something totally different and unrelated. So what should I think? What's next? Classid could be abused to identify something else. I don't understand why. classid in kernel and tclass in hw are 2 completely unrelated things. Why they should share the same userspace api? What am I missing that indicates this is not an abuse? There should be clean and well-defined userspace api: 1) classid to identify qdisc instances 2) something else to identify HW tclasses

The driver is just using it to refer to the qdisc as offloaded in the hardware. It's a key, nothing more. The context in which it is used doesn't change it's meaning. > Why they should share the same userspace api? What am I missing that > indicates this is not an abuse? Why invent a completely new ID space to refer to something we exactly have an ID for already? This duplication for the sake of "API" makes no sense to me. The handle is not going away. It is not going to stop referring to a specific qdisc. So it's stable and appropriate to use to refer to a qdisc, whatever operation being performed, or offload being we are going to perform of it. I notice you are quite feisty lately in your reviews of other people's work, so I have to ask if things are very stressful in your life? Please drink a nice warm cup of tea and calm down :-)

Okay, fair enough. Yet, I can't say I'm happy with it :/ But I guess that what you say makes sense. > >I notice you are quite feisty lately in your reviews of other people's >work, so I have to ask if things are very stressful in your life? :) Yeah, that is probably coincidental. Lots of odd offloading stuff is happening lately. >Please drink a nice warm cup of tea and calm down :-) I'm perfectly calm. But thanks for showing the care :)

That is essentially what we are trying to emulate on the receive side. That was why we thought we might use this abstraction. > There should be clean and well-defined userspace api: > 1) classid to identify qdisc instances > 2) something else to identify HW tclasses I agree with the well defined userspace api portion of this. However I somewhat disagree on the HW tclasses argument as we have virtual qdiscs floating around inside of mqprio for instance that represent the same type of thing. You will find that the classid values with a minor value less than or equal to the number of TCs don't actually exist other than for collecting statistics. If that is all you are looking for we could probably update ingress and clsact to at a minimum display the class IDs and treat them as full virtual classids within the qdisc. I figure it wouldn't make sense to add statistics since they don't actually enqueue any packets. One thought I am considering, is what if we change the class ID of the virtual qdiscs for mqprio that represent priority based traffic classes so that we reserved TC_H_MIN values 0xFFE0 - 0xFFEF to represent traffic classes 0 through 15? The advantage would be that it would make the classid layout for mqprio closer to what is already there for mq, and then in addition we would have a block of values we could use as reserved for mq, mqprio, ingress, and clsact to represent what you refer to as the HW tclasses since mqprio is already doing something like this. - Alex

This patch series enables configuring cloud filters in i40e using the tc-flower classifier. The classification function of the filter is to match a packet to a class. cls_flower is extended to offload classid to hardware. The offloaded classid is used direct matched packets to a traffic class on the device. The approach here is similar to the tc 'prio' qdisc which uses the classid for band selection. The ingress qdisc is called ffff:0, so traffic classes are ffff:1 to ffff:8 (i40e has max of 8 TCs). TC0 is minor number 1, TC1 is minor number 2 etc. The cloud filters are added for a VSI and are cleaned up when the VSI is deleted. The filters that match on L4 ports needs enhanced admin queue functions with big buffer support for extended fields in cloud filter commands. Example: # tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress # ethtool -K eth0 hw-tc-offload on Match Dst IPv4,Dst Port and route to TC1: # tc filter add dev eth0 protocol ip parent ffff: prio 1 flower\ dst_ip 192.168.1.1/32 ip_proto udp dst_port 22\ skip_sw classid ffff:2 # tc filter show dev eth0 parent ffff: filter pref 1 flower chain 0 filter pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1 classid ffff:2 eth_type ipv4 ip_proto udp dst_ip 192.168.1.1 dst_port 22 skip_sw in_hw v4: classid based approach to set traffic class for matched packets.
