184. VF PF Reset Tests

The scenario is kernel PF + DPDK VF The suit support NIC: Intel® Ethernet 700 Series, Intel® Ethernet 800 Series

184.1. Prerequisites

  1. Hardware:

    • Intel® Ethernet 700 Series 4*10G NIC (driver: i40e)
    • tester: ens3f0
    • dut: ens5f0(pf0), ens5f1(pf1)
    • ens3f0 connect with ens5f0 by cable
    • the status of ens5f1 is linked
  2. Added command:

    testpmd> port reset (port_id|all)
    "Reset all ports or port_id"
    
  3. Enable pf private flags:

    ethtool --set-priv-flags ens5f0 link-down-on-close on
    ethtool --set-priv-flags ens5f1 link-down-on-close on
    

184.2. Test Case 1: vf reset – create two vfs on one pf

  1. Get the pci device id of DUT, for example:

    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s
    
    0000:81:00.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens5f0 drv=i40e
    0000:81:00.1 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens5f1 drv=i40e
    
  2. Create 2 VFs from 1 PF,and set the VF MAC address at PF0:

    echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:81\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s
    
    0000:81:00.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens5f0 drv=i40e
    0000:81:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    0000:81:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 mac 00:11:22:33:44:11
    ip link set ens5f0 vf 1 mac 00:11:22:33:44:12
    
  3. Bind the VFs to dpdk driver:

    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 81:02.0 81:02.1
    
  4. Set the VLAN id of VF1 and VF2:

    ip link set ens5f0 vf 0 vlan 1
    ip link set ens5f0 vf 1 vlan 1
    
  5. Run testpmd:

    ./<build_target>/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 0x0f -n 4 -- -i \
    --portmask=0x3
    testpmd> set fwd mac
    testpmd> start
    testpmd> set allmulti all on
    testpmd> set promisc all off
    testpmd> show port info all
    
    Promiscuous mode: disabled
    Allmulticast mode: enabled
    

    The status are not different from the default value.

  6. Get mac address of one VF and use it as dest mac, using scapy to send 1000 random packets from tester, verify the packets can be received by one VF and can be forward to another VF correctly:

    scapy
    >>>sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:11")/Dot1Q(vlan=1)/IP()/Raw('x'*40)], \
    iface="ens3f0",count=1000)
    
  7. Set pf down:

    ifconfig ens5f0 down
    

    Send the same 1000 packets with scapy from tester, the vf cannot receive any packets, including vlan=0 and vlan=1

  8. Set pf up:

    ifconfig ens5f0 up
    

    Send the same 1000 packets with scapy from tester, verify the packets can be received by one VF and can be forward to another VF correctly.

  9. Reset the vfs, run the command:

    testpmd> stop
    testpmd> port stop all
    testpmd> port reset all
    testpmd> port start all
    testpmd> start
    

    Send the same 1000 packets with scapy from tester, verify the packets can be received by one VF and can be forward to another VF correctly, check the port info:

    testpmd> show port info all
    
    ********************* Infos for port 0  *********************
    MAC address: 00:11:22:33:44:11
    Promiscuous mode: disabled
    Allmulticast mode: enabled
    
    ********************* Infos for port 1  *********************
    MAC address: 00:11:22:33:44:12
    Promiscuous mode: disabled
    Allmulticast mode: enabled
    

    The info status is consistent to the status before reset.

    echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:81\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s
    
    0000:81:00.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens5f0 drv=i40e
    0000:81:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    0000:81:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    
  2. Detach VFs from the host, bind them to pci-stub driver:

    modprobe pci-stub
    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b pci_stub 81:02.0 81:02.1
    

    or using the following way:

    virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_81_02_0;
    virsh nodedev-detach pci_0000_81_02_1;
    
    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -s

  3. Passthrough VFs 81:02.0 & 81:02.1 to vm0, and start vm0:

    /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64  -name vm0 -enable-kvm \
    -cpu host -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=/home/image/sriov-fc20-1.img -vnc :1 \
    -device pci-assign,host=81:02.0,id=pt_0 \
    -device pci-assign,host=81:02.1,id=pt_1
    
  4. Login vm0, got VFs pci device id in vm0, assume they are 00:05.0 & 00:05.1, bind them to igb_uio driver,and then start testpmd:

    ./usertools/dpdk-devbind.py -b igb_uio 00:05.0 00:05.1
    ./<build_target>/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 0x0f -n 4 \
    -a 00:05.0 -a 00:05.1 -- -i --portmask=0x3

    0000:81:00.0 'Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+' if=ens5f0 drv=i40e
    0000:81:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    0000:81:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' unused=
    
  2. Detach VFs from the host, bind them to pci-stub driver:

    modprobe pci-stub
    

    using lspci -nn|grep -i ethernet got VF device id, for example “8086 154c”:

    echo "8086 154c" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
    echo "0000:82:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iavf/unbind
    echo "0000:82:02.0" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
    
    echo "8086 154c" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
    echo "0000:82:02.1" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iavf/unbind
    echo "0000:82:02.1" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
    
  3. Pass through VF0 81:02.0 to vm0, VF1 81:02.1 to vm1:

    taskset -c 20-21 qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp cores=2,sockets=1 -cpu host -name dpdk1-vm0 \
    -device pci-assign,host=0000:81:02.0 \
    -drive file=/home/img/vm1/f22.img \
    -netdev tap,id=ipvm0,ifname=tap1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \
    -device rtl8139,netdev=ipvm0,id=net1,mac=00:11:22:33:44:11 \
    -vnc :1 -daemonize
    
    taskset -c 18-19 qemu-system-x86_64 \
    -enable-kvm -m 2048 -smp cores=2,sockets=1 -cpu host -name dpdk1-vm1 \
    -device pci-assign,host=0000:81:02.1 \
    -drive file=/home/img/vm1/f22.img \
    -netdev tap,id=ipvm1,ifname=tap2,script=/etc/qemu-ifup \
    -device rtl8139,netdev=ipvm1,id=net2,mac=00:11:22:33:44:12 \
    -vnc :2 -daemonize
    
  4. Login vm0, got VF0 pci device id in vm0, assume it’s 00:05.0, bind the port to igb_uio, then start testpmd on vf0 port:

    ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:05.0
    ./<build_target>/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 0xf -n 4  \
    -- -i --eth-peer=0,vf1port_macaddr  \
    

    login vm1, got VF1 pci device id in vm1, assume it’s 00:06.0, bind the port to igb_uio, then start testpmd on vf1 port:

    ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:06.0
    ./<build_target>/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 0xf0 -n 4  \
    -- -i
    
  5. Add vlan on vf0 in vm0, and set fwd mode:

    testpmd> rx_vlan add 1 0
    testpmd> set fwd mac
    testpmd> start
    

    add vlan on vf1 in vm1, set rxonly mode:

    testpmd> rx_vlan add 1 0
    testpmd> set fwd rxonly
    testpmd> start
    
  6. Send packets with scapy from tester:

    sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:11")/IP()/Raw('x'*1000)], \
    iface="ens3f0",count=1000)
    sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:11")/Dot1Q(vlan=1)/IP()/Raw('x'*1000)], \
    iface="ens3f0",count=1000)
    
vf0 can forward the packets to vf1.
  1. Reset pf, don’t reset vf0 and vf1, send the two packets, vf0 can forward both of the two type packets to VF1.
  2. Reset vf0 and vf1, send the two packets, vf0 can forward both of the two type packets to VF1.

184.12. test case 11: pf reset trigger vf reset

  1. Execute step1-step6 of test case 1.

  2. Reset PF:

    echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:81:00.0/reset
    
  3. Testpmd shows:

    Port 0: reset event
    Port 1: reset event
    
  4. Reset the vfs:

    testpmd> stop
    testpmd> port stop all
    testpmd> port reset all
    testpmd> port start all
    testpmd> start
    

    Send the same 1000 packets with scapy from tester, verify the packets can be received by one VF and can be forward to another VF correctly, check the port info:

    testpmd> show port info all
    
    ********************* Infos for port 0  *********************
    MAC address: 00:11:22:33:44:11
    Promiscuous mode: disabled
    Allmulticast mode: enabled
    
    ********************* Infos for port 1  *********************
    MAC address: 00:11:22:33:44:12
    Promiscuous mode: disabled
    Allmulticast mode: enabled
    

    The info status is consistent to the status before reset.
