  There is a bug in vf clear xstats command, it do not
record the statics data in offset struct member.So, vf
need to keep record of xstats data from pf and update
the statics according to offset.

Fixes: da61cd0849766 ("i40evf: add extended stats")

Signed-off-by: Wei Zhao <wei.zhao1@intel.com>

Changes in v2:

 fix patch log check warning.

I guess this testpmd update is not directly related to this patch, but
to protect testpmd against value overflow? Can this be another patch?

But not having this previously means all VF stats were wrong previously,
not only extended ones, also basic ones. And not not wrong with small
difference, this should give a big difference in the stats.

I am suspicious about this part, because if this is the case, I would
expect this should be detected earlier.

I have not traced the code, but is there any chance that
"eth_stats_offset" has been used by other end of the admin command?

I can see this is the reason of the defect mentioned in the commit log.
Instead of using newly acquired stats as offset, using old values...

Nonono, this code change is directly related to this patch, if we do not do this code change, the  
diff_pkts_rx and diff_pkts_tx statistic data will be wrong  when the first time after clear xstats command.

To be frankly speaking, this bug is firstly discovered by a big user.
This bug only appear after use CLI "clear port xstats 0". So it is not easy to detect this bug.
After using this fix patch ,the big user who report this issue has feed back it work well now.
The root cause is not so complicated, when the pf which admin this vf is in kernel state, DPDK can not 
Give pf the info to clear and update offset command, so vf can only keep record the offset data in DPDK
VF port locally.

Yes, the fix will make the error happen, but this is the fix of the clear xstats issue.
You can create a separate patch for it just to make clearer.

That was because i40evf PMD doesn't support the ops "stats_reset", but "xstats_reset"
Is implemented when xstats are introduced in i40vf PMD.
I think you also need to add the ops "stats_reset", testing can cover this basic case then.

Yes , I have create a new patch for add support of reset stats in vf port.

If this testpmd code is only wrong for i40e vf after this patch, perhaps
something else is wrong? Perhaps we should update i40e vf stats.

OR, if this code is already wrong, lets move it to its own patch.

Please help me understand this.

1- The problem you are fixing only seen with Linux PF, with DPDK PF you
don't see the problem, correct? If so this should be part of commit log.

2- As I checked the Linux driver code, it does same thing with DPDK:
a) in PF side, read from registers
b) removed vsi->eth_stats_offsets from read values
c) set vsi->eth_stats
So vsi->eth_stats should be valid, can you please elaborate the issue
with Linux PF.

3- This patch introduces i40evf_update_vsi_stats(), which removes
vsi->eth_stats_offset from stats received from PF.
But for DPDK PF case, the stats received from PF are already removes
vsi->eth_stats_offset, won't this will be a duplicate, and give wrong
values for the DPDK PF case ?

4- Is VF stats registers, reset on read? I mean the received stats
values via i40evf_update_stats() are values from previous read, or
cumulative values?

After some more digging, "vf->vsi.eth_stats" and "*pstats" should be
same, i40evf_update_stats() both updates the "vf->vsi.eth_stats" and
returns its pointer [1], so why this update needed.

This patch only fix vf port clear xstats error, because pf has no such problem.
To understand this patch , you can compare the difference between pf and vf 
Code when pocess clear xstats command. You will find pf has a record scheme when 
Receive clear xstats command. What vf did is the same as pf.

Hi Wei,

This is not helping much :) Please bare with me and let me try again.

As far as I understand you are baselining stats in VF.

1) Is this problem only seen with Linux PF?

2) If this is seen only in Linux PF, is it because of [1]?

3) DPDK PF already sends the baselined stats, won't this cause
duplicated baselining for DPDK PF case and give wrong values.

4) Why below [2] is required, is it because of [1]?


[1]
vf->vsi type is "struct i40e_vsi", and this structure is not binary
compatible between Linux and DPDK, so you can't use this struct to
communicate between Linux PF and DPDK VF.

If this is the case, can updating DPDK "struct i40e_vsi" be long term
fix to this problem?


Thanks,
ferruh

Aha!, I got it, this is nothing related to being binary compatible etc..

I was thinking PF and VF sharing the vsi information, but no they can't,
they are in two different context. So there is no way VF can update
vsi->offset in PF (unless there is an aq for it), so the baselining done
in PF is useless since PF vsi->offset is always zero. And you need to
baseline again in VF.

So answer to my questions, this is problem for both PFs and double
baselining is not problem because PF one has no effect.
Please correct me if I am wrong :)

When host pf is in linux, the vf port can not communicate much with him, include offset after this vf clear command, so vf need to record the baseline.
Customer only report this state will has such problem, but I think if  host pf is in DPDK, vf also has such problem.
So, this patch fix both sate error.

Of course, I can not. What we did is just "record", not communicate.
