OK for these definitions, however API documentation (doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst) must be kept up to date, and it would be great if testpmd support for these new items was added simultaneously (changes in app/test-pmd/cmdline.c, app/test-pmd/cmdline_flow.c anddoc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst).quoted
How about putting all rte_flow changes (API & testpmd) in their own separate patch?I thought it can be more useful to have library and its user updated in same patch, gives more context. But missed rte_flow documentation ...quoted
You could use VLAN PCP/DEI/VID definitions as an example to expose partial bit-fields (e.g. epcp_edei_in_ecid_b) in testpmd, see: 1419fd5a6c9f ("app/testpmd: add protocol fields to flow command") Now if re-spinning this series yet again is too much work, you can go ahead with this commit as long as you do not forget to submit the rest later, thanks.Is following todo list complete: 1- update rte_flow document, doc/guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst, document two new item types: E_TAG & NVGRE. 2- Add testpmd sample implementation and documentation.I am sorry for miss rte_flow.rst document update, I DON'T know there issuch a new file of rte_flow.rst.quoted
And also these two types of E_TAG & NVGRE are added into code after rte_flow patch, So testpmd implementation do not support for these type. Now, we have been work on task of 17.05. How about finish (1) first as one patch, then after busy work of 17.05 toadd (2) as another patch?quoted
OR, if these two work merge in to patch set, I will may be begin to do afterthe 17.05 task finish?quoted
Which one is OK for you?Changes can be in two separate patches, and if possible, can this get priority against 17.05 task? This is for 17.02 feature and not completely finished, missing for last touches.. Thanks, ferruhquoted
Thank you.quoted
Hi Wei, Would you mind working on a patch to cover above items? Thanks, ferruhAdd testpmd implementation example is not in our plan from the begin of the task generic filter API by us, Because all this part is not covered by us(intel) when task allocation.Right, sample testpmd implementation is not directly related to the adding rte_flow support to the driver. But for this, a rte_flow library update required, and sample testpmd implementation is part of rte_flow update.quoted
BUT if this component is need by community, I will report to my leader and add it into our next work plan and try to finish it ASAP.Yes please, I believe it is needed.
Is there any update from this work?
Thanks, ferruhquoted
Thank you.
