            1)New library to provide reordering of out of ordered
            mbufs based on sequence number of mbuf. Library uses reorder buffer structure
            which in tern uses two circular buffers called ready and order buffers.
            *rte_reorder_create API creates instance of reorder buffer.
            *rte_reorder_init API initializes given reorder buffer instance.
            *rte_reorder_reset API resets given reorder buffer instance.
            *rte_reorder_insert API inserts the mbuf into order circular buffer.
            *rte_reorder_fill_overflow moves mbufs from order buffer to ready buffer
            to accomodate early packets in order buffer.
            *rte_reorder_drain API provides draining facility to fetch out
            reordered mbufs from order and ready buffers.

How does this work if you get two packets with the same sequence number?  That
situation seems like it would happen frequently with your example app, and from
my read of the above, you just wind up overwriting the same pointer in ther
entries array here, which leads to silent packet loss.

Using uint32_t's for sequence numbers is susceptible to overflow, they
should probably be uint64_t's unless there is a good reason not to.

Hi Neil,

Sequence numbers are assigned globally by a single core , and not per port. So it is impossible to get the  packets with same sequence number.
Getting packets with same sequence number should  happen only when sequence number wraps around in same window of earlier same sequence number packet and which is not drained, but this  is unlikely as there will be sufficient wrap around times .

Thanks,
Reshma

Hi,

Using  Uint64_t for seqn consumes another 4 extra bytes in mbuf on cache line0. To avoid the same it is chosen uint32_t.

Thanks,
Reshma

I think 2 things are missing in this patchset:

1) Could you show some performance numbers to compare a simple forwarding
with and without this library, in the commit log?

2) Could you add some documentation in doc/ directory for programmer's guide?

Thank you

I'm not allowed to provide specific performance numbers.
I could try to give some kind of relative performance estimate (%), but anyone else is free to provide those numbers.

I'll be sending a v2 shortly with a new entry for the programmers guide.

Can you elaborate on this?  Why can you not provide specific performance numbers
from your testing?  Is there some concern over the validity of the measurements?

Hi  Neil,

As far as I know, that is exactly the reason.
Any Intel specific performance data goes through a performance validation team before being released.

This series introduces the new reorder library along with unit tests,
sample app and a new entry in the programmers guide describing the library.

The library provides reordering of mbufs based on their sequence number.

As mention in the patch describing the library, one use case is the
packet distributor.
The distributor receives packets, assigns them a sequence number and sends
them to the workers.
The workers process those packets and return them to the distributor.
The distributor collects out-of-order packets from the workers and uses
this library to reorder the packets based on the sequence number they
were assigned.

v2:
 - add programmers guide entry describing the library
 - use malloc instead of memzone to allocate memory
 - modify create and init implementation, init takes a reorder buffer as input
   and create reserves memory and call init.
 - update unit tests

Functionally it looks pretty good.  You need to define an export map and
LIBABIVER macro in your makefile though.

Oh yes! I did forget about the versioning.
I'll send v4 shortly.

This series introduces the new reorder library along with unit tests,
sample app and a new entry in the programmers guide describing the library.

The library provides reordering of mbufs based on their sequence number.

As mention in the patch describing the library, one use case is the
packet distributor.
The distributor receives packets, assigns them a sequence number and sends
them to the workers.
The workers process those packets and return them to the distributor.
The distributor collects out-of-order packets from the workers and uses
this library to reorder the packets based on the sequence number they
were assigned.

v4:
 - add missing version.map and related versioning macros

v3:
 - fix copyright date
 - add option to sample app to disable reordering
 - add packet ordering sample guide entry

v2:
 - add programmers guide entry describing the library
 - use malloc instead of memzone to allocate memory
 - modify create and init implementation, init takes a reorder buffer as input
   and create reserves memory and call init.
 - update unit tests

You forgot to update the MAINTAINERS file.

True!

I'll do v5.

This series introduces the new reorder library along with unit tests,
sample app and a new entry in the programmers guide describing the library.

The library provides reordering of mbufs based on their sequence number.

As mention in the patch describing the library, one use case is the
packet distributor.
The distributor receives packets, assigns them a sequence number and sends
them to the workers.
The workers process those packets and return them to the distributor.
The distributor collects out-of-order packets from the workers and uses
this library to reorder the packets based on the sequence number they
were assigned.

v5:
 - update MAINTAINERS

v4:
 - add missing version.map and related versioning macros

v3:
 - fix copyright date
 - add option to sample app to disable reordering
 - add packet ordering sample guide entry

v2:
 - add programmers guide entry describing the library
 - use malloc instead of memzone to allocate memory
 - modify create and init implementation, init takes a reorder buffer as input
   and create reserves memory and call init.
 - update unit tests
