  From: Huisong Li <lihuisong@huawei.com>

Currently, only statistics of rx/tx queues with queue_id less than
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS can be displayed. If there is a certain
application scenario that it needs to use 256 or more than 256 queues
and display all statistics of rx/tx queue. At this moment, we have to
change the macro to be equaled to the queue number.

However, modifying the macro to be greater than 256 will trigger
many errors and warnings from test-pmd, PMD drivers and librte_ethdev
during compiling dpdk project. But it is possible and permitted that
rx/tx queue number is greater than 256 and all statistics of rx/tx
queue need to be displayed. In addition, the data type of rx/tx queue
number in rte_eth_dev_configure API is 'uint16_t'. So It is unreasonable
to use the 'uint8_t' type for variables that control which per-queue
statistics can be displayed.

Fixes: ed30d9b691b2 ("app/testpmd: add stats per queue")
Fixes: 09c7e63a71f9 ("net/memif: introduce memory interface PMD")
Fixes: abf7275bbaa2 ("ixgbe: move to drivers/net/")
Fixes: e6defdfddc3b ("net/igc: enable statistics")
Fixes: 2265e4b4e84b ("net/octeontx2: add basic stats operation")
Fixes: 6c3169a3dc04 ("virtio: move to drivers/net/")

The patch breaks the ethdev ABI without a deprecation notice from previous 
release(s).

It is mainly a fix to the port_id storage type, which we have updated from 
uint8_t to uint16_t in past but some seems remained for 
'rte_eth_dev_set_tx_queue_stats_mapping()' & 
'rte_eth_dev_set_rx_queue_stats_mapping()' APIs.

Since the ethdev library already heavily breaks the ABI this release, I am for 
getting this fix, instead of waiting the fix for one more year.

Can you please review the patch, is there any objectio to proceed with it?

The explanation is too much complex and misleading.
You mean you cannot increase RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS
above 256 because it is an 8-bit type?

No, it is not related to the port id, but the number of limited stats.

If stats can be managed for more than 256 queues, I think it means
it is not limited. In this case, we probably don't need the API
*_queue_stats_mapping which was invented for a limitation of ixgbe.

The problem is probably somewhere else (in testpmd),
that's why I am against this patch.

It is probably a bit unusual specially for modern NICs,
but I think it still possible in principle.
Let say NIC has up to 16K queues, but can map stats only for 1K, or so.
So formally - yes, I think both queue_idx and stats_idx have to be same type.
Also I can't foresee problems such change could introduce (except formal API/ABI break).

Hi, Thomas,
you may misunderstand it.
The goal of this patch is that resolving some errors or warnings when 
compiling code with RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS > 256. The reson is some
vlaue(uint8_t) will never catch over RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS, as
uint8_t ranges from 0-255. e.g.,
static void
nic_stats_display(uint16_t port_id)
{
		uint8_t i;
	for (i = 0; i < RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS; i++) {
		...
	}
	...
}

RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS can be increased to more than 256, which is 
reasonable in principle. Because the number of queue statistics is
controlled by it. And mapping queue to queue statistics counter is also
controlled by it. So these "*_queue_stats_mapping" API also trigger 
errors or warning.

  First, my modification for "stat_idx" data type is resonable and it
  does not cause some problems. Both queue id and stat_idx have same
type, which is also reasoable in usage.
  Then, "*_queue_stats_mapping" these API is not only invented for ixgbe.
  other net drivers also implements the API, like enic, igc, octeontx2 etc.

Right, it is not related to the port id, it is fixing the storage type for index 
used to map the queue stats.

This patch is not to fix queue stats mapping, I agree there are problems related 
to it, already shared as comment to this set.

But this patch is to fix the build errors when 'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' 
needs to set more than 255. Where the build errors seems around the 
stats_mapping APIs.

It is not said this API is supposed to manage more than 256 queues mapping.
In general we should not need this API.
I think it is solving the wrong problem.

What you are describing is not a problem, it is the API:
queue stats mapping is to map few queues (less than 256).

No, queue statistics ID should be the queue ID (1:1 mapping),
except for rare limited HW.

Why do you think it is reasonnable?
What is the use case?

I don't think enic implements it,
and I don't know what is the intent in igc and octeontx2
(maybe just a copy/paste).

We should start from the beginning: why do you increase this value?

Or we can go directly to the real issue:
testpmd shows queues statistics only if a mapping is defined.
This testpmd behaviour is absolutely wrong and should be fixed.

The original API is a band aid for the limited number of statistics counters
in the Intel IXGBE hardware. It crept into to the DPDK as an API. I would rather
have per-queue statistics and make ixgbe say "not supported"

Yes, Ferruh  is right.

Hi, Thomas,
Let me desribe the background again.

There exists a certain application scenario: it needs to use 256
or more than 256 queues and display all statistics of rx/tx queues.
In this scenario, RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS should be modifed to
256 or more for the NICs supporting per-queue statistics.

While if we did this, compiling codes will cause warnings or errors.
WHY? one reson occures in this API: 
rte_eth_dev_set_tx_queue_stats_mapping(or 
rte_eth_dev_set_rx_queue_stats_mapping), this is:

rte_eth_dev_set_tx_queue_stats_mapping(uint16_t port_id,uint16_t 
tx_queue_id, uint8_t stat_idx):
	set_queue_stats_mapping:
			...
			if (stat_idx >= RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS)
			return -EINVAL;
			....

As above, stat_idx  is uint8_t, range from 0-255, but 
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS is 256 (ever larger).
So compiling will catch warnings or errors, and failed.

So, as Ferruh said,
this patch is to fix the build errors when
'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' needs to set more than 255. Where the
build errors seems around the stats_mapping APIs.

Really, seting queue stats mapping in testpmd also has some problems 
that is come up by Ferruh.  In addition, we also modify other 
unreasonable something about it and we are testing.
But it will only modify testpmd, not related to API.

Hope for your reply, thanks.

No, RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS does not have to be changed.
The queue statistics should be retrieved with xstats,
and abandoned in rte_eth_stats.

But yes nothing is currently forbidding increasing
RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS, except build issues.

Really I would prefer deprecating RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS,
instead of increasing size of the mapping API.

I understand the issue, you're right raising it,
but I think the usage of these APIs is wrong.
I would prefer we work on xstats instead of allowing
more ugly stuff with legacy stats per queues.

2 problems with increasing RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS:
- it makes basic stats huge and slow to retrieve
- it needs to recompile DPDK

I proposed a scheme for stats per queue in this presentation:
https://www.dpdk.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2019/10/WhichStandard.pdf

If we were at breaking something, we should change the xstats scheme
from "rx_q%u%s" to "rx_q%u_%s".

Hi, Thomas,
	I think what you suggest is resonable and helpful.
	But I should have time to fix it about this patch.
	So, this patch will be sent to community in future.
	
	By the way, the other patch is acked by you.
	Acked-by: Thomas Monjalon <thomas@monjalon.net>
	
	This patch is :
	"[V5,2/2] ethdev: change data type in TC rxq and TC txq"
	https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/78888/

	Because we will have National Day Holiday from
	10/1 to 10/8, I will have no time to handle the patch.
	So, I wish that patch can be merged into V20.11 soon.

	Thanks very much.

After reading the rest of the thread, I understand that Thomas has suggested depreciating this entire API and using xstats instead.
My 2c is that if changing this value requires an ABI breakage and rebuild, its probably the wrong API.

The current issue is not directly related to '*_queue_stats_mapping' APIs.

Problem is not able to set 'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' > 255.
User may need to set the 'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' > 255, since it is used 
to define size of the stats counter.
"uint64_t q_ipackets[RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS];"

When 'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' > 255, it gives multiple build errors, the 
one in the ethdev is like [1].

This can be fixed two ways,
a) increase the size of 'stat_idx' storage type to u16 in the 
'*_queue_stats_mapping' APIs, this is what this patch does.
b) Fix with a casting in the comparison, without changing the APIs.

I think both are OK, but is (b) more preferable?

I think the patch (a) is ok, knowing that RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS is
not modified.

On the substance, I agree with Thomas that the queue_stats_mapping API
should be replaced by xstats.

This has been discussed in the last technical board meeting, the decision was to 
use xstats to get queue related statistics [2].

But after second look, even if xstats is used to get statistics, 
'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' is used, since xstats uses 'rte_eth_stats_get()' 
to get queue statistics.
So for the case device has more than 255 queues, 'RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS' 
still needs to be set > 255 which will cause the build error.

I have an AR to send a deprecation notice to current method to get the queue 
statistics, and limit the old method to 256 queues. But since xstats is just a 
wrapped to old method, I am not quite sure how deprecating it will work.

@Thomas, @Honnappa, can you give some more insight on the issue?

You're right, when using the old API in xstats implementation,
we are limited to RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS queues.

It becomes a PMD issue. The PMD implementation of xstats must complete
the statistics for the queues above RTE_ETHDEV_QUEUE_STAT_CNTRS.

In order to prepare the removal of the old method smoothly,
we could add a driver flag which indicates whether the PMD relies
on a pre-fill of xstats from old stats per queue conversion or not.

I have sent an RFC, can you please check:
https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/80390/


Connor,

Does this proposal make sense?
If you have more than 256 queues to get stats, can you please implement xstats 
for the queue stats?

You don't need to wait for the above RFC accepted, you can implement the xstats, 
but it will have some duplication, if the above RFC accepted you can set the 
'RTE_ETH_DEV_QUEUE_STATS_IN_XSTATS' flag to remove the duplication.
