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.

184.10. test Case 9: vf reset (two vfs passed through to one VM)

  1. 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=

  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;

0000:81:02.0 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' if= drv=pci-stub unused=
0000:81:02.1 'XL710/X710 Virtual Function' if= drv=pci-stub unused=

    it can be seen that VFs 81:02.0 & 81:02.1 ‘s drv is pci-stub.

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

-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

  5. Add MAC address to the vf0 ports, set it in mac forward mode:

sendp([Ether(dst="00:11:22:33:44:12")/IP()/Raw('x'*1000)], \
iface="ens3f0",count=1000)

    vfs can forward both of the two type packets.

  7. Reset pf0 and pf1, don’t reset vf0 and vf1, send the two packets, vfs can forward both of the two type packets.

  8. Reset vf0 and vf1, send the two packets, vfs can forward both of the two type packets.

184.11. test Case 10: vf reset (two vfs passed through to two VM)

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:
