[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v1 4/4] net/mlx4: relax Rx queue configuration order

Adrien Mazarguil adrien.mazarguil at 6wind.com
Thu Oct 19 18:11:09 CEST 2017


Various hardware limitations apply to RSS indirection tables, one of them
being they must be an exact 1:1 mapping of the configured Rx queue indices.

While this restriction is enforced when creating RSS flow rules, it is not
the case when Rx queues themselves are created; underlying WQ numbers are
assigned in turn, not according to queue index.

Applications such as l3fwd-power that create Rx queues from highest to
lowest index (or any other non-sequential order) thus fail to get a working
RSS context.

This commit postpones WQ initialization to dev_start(), once all Rx queues
are configured in order to address this issue.
