Thanks for the patch Sugesh, I think this is a better approach, I've validated with various SRIOV VFs as well as i350,ixgbe and i40e drivers, all were ok. Some minor comments below. > Signed-off-by: Sugesh Chandran <[email protected]> > --- > V1 -> V2 > Read DPDK port flow-control parameters only when reconfiguration is > required. This will avoid flow control read error on unsupported ports. I think it's worth mentioning this in the commit message as rather than just in the version change. > > --- > lib/netdev-dpdk.c | 14 ++++++-------- > 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/lib/netdev-dpdk.c b/lib/netdev-dpdk.c index bb4d60f..11eebe3 > 100644 > --- a/lib/netdev-dpdk.c > +++ b/lib/netdev-dpdk.c > @@ -1065,14 +1065,6 @@ dpdk_eth_dev_init(struct netdev_dpdk *dev) > > mbp_priv = rte_mempool_get_priv(dev->dpdk_mp->mp); > dev->buf_size = mbp_priv->mbuf_data_room_size - RTE_PKTMBUF_HEADROOM; > - > - /* Get the Flow control configuration for DPDK-ETH */ > - diag = rte_eth_dev_flow_ctrl_get(dev->port_id, &dev->fc_conf); > - if (diag) { > - VLOG_DBG("cannot get flow control parameters on port > "DPDK_PORT_ID_FMT > - ", err=%d", dev->port_id, diag); > - } > - > return 0; > } > > @@ -1776,6 +1768,12 @@ netdev_dpdk_set_config(struct netdev *netdev, const > struct smap *args, > if (dev->fc_conf.mode != fc_mode || autoneg != dev->fc_conf.autoneg) > { > dev->fc_conf.mode = fc_mode; > dev->fc_conf.autoneg = autoneg; > + /* Get the Flow control configuration for DPDK-ETH */ > + err = rte_eth_dev_flow_ctrl_get(dev->port_id, &dev->fc_conf); > + if (err) { > + VLOG_INFO("cannot get flow control parameters on port " > + DPDK_PORT_ID_FMT", err=%d", dev->port_id, err); This should probably be an error or at least a warning instead of info as in this case someone has attempted to configure flow control but an error occurred. Also minor nit but the First word of the message should be capitalized. i.e. 'cannot' -> 'Cannot'.
