185. VF Port Start Stop Tests

The suit support NIC: Intel® Ethernet 700 Series, Intel® Ethernet 800 Series and Intel® 82599 Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

185.1. Prerequisites

Create Two VF interfaces from two kernel PF interfaces, and then attach them to VM. Suppose PF is 0000:04:00.0. Generate 2VFs using commands below and make them in pci-stub mods.

1. Get the pci device id of DUT:

   ./dpdk_nic_bind.py --st
   0000:04:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' if=ens261f0 drv=ixgbe unused=igb_uio
   

2. Create 2 VFs from 2 PFs:

   echo 2 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:04\:00.0/sriov_numvfs
   

   VFs 04:10.0 & 04:10.1 have been created:

   ./dpdk_nic_bind.py --st
   0000:04:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' if=ens261f0 drv=ixgbe unused=
   0000:04:10.0 '82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function' if=enp4s16 drv=ixgbevf unused=
   0000:04:10.1 '82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function' if=enp4s16f1 drv=ixgbevf unused=
   

3. Detach VFs from the host, bind them to pci-stub driver:

   /sbin/modprobe pci-stub
   echo "8086 10ed" > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/new_id
   echo 0000:04:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:04\:10.0/driver/unbind
   echo 0000:04:10.0 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
   echo 0000:04:10.1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:04\:10.1/driver/unbind
   echo 0000:04:10.1 > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pci-stub/bind
   

   or using the following more easy way:

   ./dpdk_nic_bind.py -b pci-stub 04:10.0 04:10.1
   

   it can be seen that VFs 04:10.0 & 04:10.1 ‘s drv is pci-stub:

   ./dpdk_nic_bind.py --st
   0000:04:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection' if=ens261f0 drv=ixgbe unused=vfio-pci
   0000:04:10.0 '82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function' if= drv=pci-stub unused=ixgbevf,vfio-pci
   0000:04:10.1 '82599 Ethernet Controller Virtual Function' if= drv=pci-stub unused=ixgbevf,vfio-pci
   

4. Do not forget bring up PFs:

   ifconfig ens261f0 up
   

   Passthrough VFs 04:10.0 & 04:10.1 to vm0, and start vm0, you can refer to below command:

   taskset -c 6-12 qemu-system-x86_64 \
   -enable-kvm -m 8192  -smp 6 -cpu host -name dpdk15-vm1 \
   -drive file=/home/image/fedora23.img \
   -netdev tap,id=hostnet1,ifname=tap1,script=/etc/qemu-ifup,vhost=on \
   -device rtl8139,netdev=hostnet1,id=net1,mac=52:54:01:6b:10:61,bus=pci.0,addr=0xa \
   -device pci-assign,bus=pci.0,addr=0x6,host=04:10.0 \
   -device pci-assign,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,host=04:10.1 \
   -vnc :11 -daemonize
   

   the /etc/qemu-ifup can be below script, need you to create first:

   #!/bin/sh
   set -x
   switch=br0
   if [ -n "$1" ];then
       /usr/sbin/tunctl -u `whoami` -t $1
       /sbin/ip link set $1 up
       sleep 0.5s
       /usr/sbin/brctl addif $switch $1
       exit 0
   else
       echo "Error: no interface specified"
   exit 1
   fi
   

   Set up bridge br0 before create /etc/qemu-ifup, for example:

   cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
   vim ifcfg-enp1s0f0
   
   HWADDR=00:1e:67:fb:0f:d4
   TYPE=Ethernet
   NAME=enp1s0f0
   ONBOOT=yes
   DEVICE=enp1s0f0
   NM_CONTROLLED=no
   BRIDGE=br0
   
   vim ifcfg-br0
   TYPE=Bridge
   DEVICE=br0
   ONBOOT=yes
   NM_CONTROLLED=no
   BOOTPROTO=dhcp
   HOSTNAME="dpdk-test58"
   

   Login vm0, got VFs pci device id in vm0, assume they are 00:06.0 & 00:07.0, bind them to igb_uio driver, and then start testpmd, set it in mac forward mode:

   ./tools/dpdk_nic_bind.py --bind=igb_uio 00:06.0 00:07.0
   ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-testpmd -c 0x0f -n 4 -- -i
   testpmd-> set fwd mac
   testpmd-> start
   

185.2. Test Case: port start/stop

Start send packets from tester , then start/stop ports several times ,verify if it running right.

Commands could be used to start/stop ports refer to below:

Start port:

testpmd-> port start all

Stop port:

testpmd-> port stop all

Send IP+UDP packet:

Ether(dst="0E:CB:F8:FF:4E:02", src="0E:CB:F8:FF:4E:02")/IP(src="127.0.0.2")/UDP()/("X"*46)
